[ 00 / OVERVIEW ]
CORE PRINCIPLE
  • We curate tools, technologies, and information for users and developers working with metaprotocols on Bitcoin. This effort includes the aggregation of open-source tooling and resources that we believe will drive the ecosystem forward.

RESOURCES THAT ARE BEING BUILT ON L1F
  • As a central hub, L1F tailors its offerings to meet the diverse needs of protocols at various stages of development. Our lifecycle support framework includes:

LIFECYCLE SUPPORT

Logic

Development platforms that foster the creation of metaprotocol logic, including pseudologic, for conceptualization and design phases.

[ 00 / METASHREW ]
  • Metashrew is a custom indexing tool that makes designing and implementing your own indexing logic easy. Build your own Metaprotocol—and custom indexer—with Metashrew using your own data or Sandshrew’s robust RPC endpoints as a base layer.

[ 01 / SANDSHREW ]
  • Sandshrew is a comprehensive RPC serving raw, un-opinionated data endpoints from Bitcoin Core, Esplora, Ordinals and BRC20. Sandshrew is the most robust RPC for Bitcoin and Ordinals related data in the world, enabling highly creative and expressive application building.

LIFECYCLE SUPPORT

Indexer

Tools for building robust indexes and facilitating interactions, crucial for developing and scaling protocols.

[ 00 / OPI ]
  • Open Protocol Indexer is the most adopted open-source indexing client for BRC-20. OPI progressively decentralizes “indexing” and provides reliable infrastructure for builders. It supports BRC-20 Swap-Module, BRC-20 Programmable Module, Runes, SNS and comes with built-in API support.

[ 01 / UNISAT ]
  • Unisat offers a full suite of developer tooling—starting with a BRC20 indexer API that can be used for building any BRC20-based applications. Unisat created the original BRC20 indexer with Domo and is co-lead-maintainer of the BRC20 protocol with Best In Slot.

LIFECYCLE SUPPORT

Inscriber

Inscribe on Bitcoin—tokens, JPEGs, and more

[ 00 / CHISEL ]
  • Chisel is a powerful inscription tooling service—offering batch inscription services, inscriptions on unique sats (including by batch), metadata editing, parent-child inscription services, and test inscription services. Chisel is managed independently by Devaloft—one of the most renowned Ordinals developers in the world.

[ 01 / ORIDINALSBOT ]
  • OrdinalsBot is one of the earliest inscriber tools out there - and also enables inscriptions on specific sats. Ordinals bot also supports batch inscriptions, metadata editing, textfiles and markdown in addition to images.

LIFECYCLE SUPPORT

Explorer

For monitoring protocol activities, enhancing transparency and operational efficiency

[ 00 / ORDISCAN ]
  • One of the earliest Ordinals explorers, Ordiscan launched in early 2023, letting you explore inscriptions, rare sats, BRC-20 tokens, Sats names, and other digital collectibles. Runes and other metaprotocols will soon also be viewable.

[ 01 / ORD.IO ]
  • Ord.io is an Ordinals explorer where you can discover and collect inscriptions and rare sats. Ord.io has an intricate cataloging system for discoverability and makes looking for types of sats and inscriptions easy for users.

[ 02 / Best in Slot ]
  • Best in Slot is an explorer & aggregator for Bitcoin native assets. It supports Ordinals, BRC-20, Runes and provides advanced tooling for traders, builders and collections. BIS also provides infrastructure services, powering hundreds of teams building on Bitcoin, including wallets, marketplaces, funds and dapps.

LIFECYCLE SUPPORT

Wallet

PSBT, wallets, and API tooling to provide the necessary infrastructure for seamless protocol operation, transfer of assets, and user interaction.

[ 00 / OYL ]
  • Oyl Wallet is the first Bitcoin wallet to offer “in-wallet” trading. With built-in marketplace aggregation, Oyl allows tradeing of Ordinals, BRC20, and other Bitcoin-native assets straight from within your wallet. Oyl Wallet is currently in testnet. Sign up for access as soon as Oyl hits mainnet.

[ 01 / UNISAT ]
  • Unisat wallet is a browser extension wallet enabling the transfer of Ordinals, BRC20, and other Bitcoin-native tokens. Unisat is a single account wallet (i.e. your Bitcoin and Ordinals are easily transferred with one address) and enables the hosting of multiple accounts / keys within the browser.

[ 02 / Xverse ]
  • Xverse Wallet is a browser extension and mobile wallet for Bitcoin, Ordinals and BRC20 tokens. Xverse is easy to use and beginner friendly - separating Bitcoin and Ordinals addresses.
