As Bitcoin’s Ordinals ecosystem matures and DeFi continues to expand across multiple blockchains, users are demanding one thing above all: a simple, trustless way to trade digital assets across both BTC and EVM networks. Whether you're flipping inscriptions or swapping stablecoins, the experience must be fast, decentralized, and secure.
Ordiswap answers that need by offering a cross-chain trading platform with native support for Bitcoin Ordinals, TRC-20, and ERC-20 tokens—all from a single interface.
This guide will walk you through how to trade on Ordiswap safely and efficiently, and highlight why it stands out in the multichain environment.
What Is Ordiswap?#
Ordiswap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) and bridging platform that allows users to trade Bitcoin Ordinals (inscriptions) alongside assets from Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, and more. It uniquely combines:
A non-custodial Ordinals marketplace
Cross-chain swap functionality
Compatibility with both BTC and EVM wallets
Instant execution via smart contracts
Unlike most DEXs that focus solely on Ethereum-based assets, Ordiswap integrates the Bitcoin network directly—making it one of the few platforms where you can trade inscriptions and DeFi assets together in one place.
Open-source development is available for audit on the official GitHub: https://ordiswap-site.github.io/
Step-by-Step: How to Trade with Ordiswap#
Step 1: Connect Your Wallet
Ordiswap supports:
Xverse or Unisat for Bitcoin Ordinals
MetaMask or WalletConnect for EVM chains
Choose the network you want to use and connect your wallet securely. No registration or KYC is needed.
Step 2: Select Your Trade Type
Ordiswap supports two main types of trading:
Inscriptions (Ordinals) Trading
You can list, buy, or swap inscriptions in a peer-to-peer, escrow-free environment.
Token Swaps Across Chains
Swap USDT, ETH, MATIC, and other supported assets between Bitcoin and EVM chains like Ethereum and Polygon.
Step 3: Initiate the Trade or Swap
For Ordinals, choose the inscription, set the price, and complete the transaction directly from your Bitcoin wallet.
For token swaps, Ordiswap will guide you through:
Locking tokens on the source chain via smart contract
Bridging with decentralized relayers
Releasing or minting tokens on the target chain
(Optional) Swapping on a DEX like Uniswap or PancakeSwap
All steps are handled without giving up control of your private keys.
Step 4: Confirm the Transaction
Review gas fees, slippage (if applicable), and destination wallet. Once confirmed, the swap or trade executes automatically via smart contracts.
Ordiswap ensures real-time finality and visible transaction hashes for full transparency.
