Where it came from

Created outside Bitcoin Universe by Arthur (atomicals.xyz), 2023.

A general digital-object protocol using commit and reveal transactions.

Where the specification lives

The specification and reference documentation for Atomicals live in bitcoinuniverseio/atomicals-and-arc-20 and are published at https://bitcoinuniverseio.github.io/atomicals-and-arc-20/. That site is the authority. This page exists so you can find it and compare it with the rest of the estate.

Bitcoin Universe indexes or implements it in bitcoinuniverseio/index-atomicals.

Support in Bitcoin Universe products

Atomicals has no marketplace entry in the Core protocol registry, so no Bitcoin Universe product implements a trade path for it. Where a Universe indexer exists, the data is available through that indexer rather than through a product surface.

Provenance

Capability facts on this page were generated from backend/packages/ecosystem-contracts/lib/protocols.js in bitcoinuniverseio/core at 15dd03b5986a. Implemented behaviour is not the same as production availability: see how to read our status.
