Atomicals, where your satoshis have a new identity and a new purpose.
Each ARC20 is a colored satoshi.
Atomicals Protocol
Atomicals is the first Bitcoin overlay protocol, built on the native Satoshi and UTXO model. A prophetic vision shared by Hal Finney in 2010 laid the theoretical foundation for what the Atomicals protocol represents today. Building on this, the ARC20 token standard emerges as the ultimate evolution of Bitcoin’s colored coin experiments, delivering a solid and sustainable solution.
Real Names
Realms represent a new layer of sovereign digital identity within Bitcoin. Each Realm functions as a unique name inscribed directly on-chain, allowing users and projects to establish their own presence, brands, and verifiable communities without relying on third parties. Thanks to the Realm Name Service (RNS), users can create subdomains, identities, and decentralized spaces linked to their ARC20 assets, ensuring authenticity, permanence, and absolute ownership of their identity on the most secure network in the world: Bitcoin.
For example, a Realm can be represented as “+arthur”, symbolizing a unique and immutable identity registered directly on the blockchain.
Atomicals Virtual Machine: AVM
The Atomicals Virtual Machine (AVM) is the virtual machine of the Atomicals protocol that operates directly on the Bitcoin base layer (L1), turning it into a programmable environment without relying on secondary layers. Thanks to its design, the AVM enables advanced functions such as crowdfunding, staking, token exchange, gaming, and digital identities, all secured and preserved by Bitcoin. By leveraging the UTXO model, the AVM ensures that every operation is verifiable and transparent within the main network, positioning itself as an essential engine for the growth of applications and communities in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Atomicals Arc-20
Atomicals ARC-20 revives the vision of colored satoshis, but natively on Bitcoin L1. More efficient and with clear rules such as Bitwork mining, transfers, swaps, NFTs, and more, this standard gives every satoshi a new purpose, granting it a unique identity and transforming it into a token or digital asset within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Minted through Proof of Work, it embodies the pure spirit of mining.
Since block 809,080, Atomicals marks a historic milestone where satoshis transcend their original role and gain a renewed meaning within Satoshi’s vision.

¿What is BitMeta?
BitMeta is an all-in-one ecosystem designed to allow anyone to navigate the new universe of protocols built on Bitcoin without relying on centralized platforms.Its goal is clear: to provide in one place all the tools that users and developers need to interact, build, and bring to life the next generation of applications on Bitcoin.
Atomicals as the backbone
The heart of BitMeta is powered by the Atomicals Virtual Machine (AVM), a key component that originates directly from the Atomicals protocol.Atomicals introduced to the ecosystem the ARC20 standard, digital names, and permanent storage on Bitcoin. Now, with the AVM, it opens the door to something even more powerful: smart contracts on Bitcoin’s base layer.
A bridge to all protocols
Although Atomicals is the core of this evolution, BitMeta is designed to interact with all the metaprotocols emerging on Bitcoin: Ordinals, BRC-20, TAP, Bitmap, Stamps, Runes, and many more. It even envisions integration with RGB, Op_Net, and Lightning Network to ensure full interoperability.
Main entry points to the Atomicals ecosystem
Bitatom
Bitatom is established as the second platform specialized in trading Atomicals, offering full support for ARC-20 tokens. With an intuitive interface and an active presence within the ecosystem, Bitatom positions itself as a key player that drives adoption and facilitates access to a rapidly expanding market.
Wizz Wallet
Wizz Wallet is a non-custodial wallet designed for Bitcoin and Atomicals. It lets you easily manage ARC-20, NFTs, and other assets, always paying fees in BTC for added security. With its simple interface and web support, it’s one of the most practical gateways to the Atomicals ecosystem.
Atomicals markets
Atomicals Market is the official space to discover, trade, and bring to life tokens, names, and digital assets built on Bitcoin with the ARC-20 standard. A platform where the innovation of the Atomicals ecosystem meets the community, offering transparency and decentralization.
Bitcoin is a fully decentralized ecosystem, with no central authority or ownership.
In Atomicals, Bitcoin is the fuel that gives life to the system: it backs every creation, powers ARC-20 tokens, and secures everything directly on Layer 1.Explore, build, and participate freely in this new era of innovation on Bitcoin.

Support Atomicals
Atomicals is a revolution within Bitcoin.A protocol that transforms satoshis into assets with identity, purpose, and utility. Each ARC-20, each name, each file or contract within Atomicals represents a new layer of life on the most secure network in the world: Bitcoin.
Use Atomicals
The best way to support it is to use it: create or exchange ARC-20 tokens.
Try wallets like Wizz Wallet or platforms like Bitmeta.io. Register your name on the network through the Realm Name Service (RNS).
Experience the power of colored satoshis, which can now represent communities, projects, or smart contracts. Every interaction strengthens the protocol.
Build on Atomicals
If you’re a developer, designer, or content creator, you can build: Applications that use ARC-20 or the AVM (Atomicals Virtual Machine).Games, marketplaces, and tools that enhance the user experience. Experimental projects that expand the utility of satoshis. Atomicals is open, permissionless, and fully decentralized. You don’t needanyone’s approval to create.
Educate and Share
Atomicals is changing the way the world understands Bitcoin.Talk about it create educational content, videos, articles, or social media threads.Explain that ARC-20s are colored satoshis.That the AVM will bring native smart contracts to Bitcoin.And that Bitwork is a form of public mining that ensures fair distribution and decentralization. Every person who understands this strengthens the movement.
