Setting Up a Bitcoin Wallet
What are Bitcoin wallets?
Crypto wallets are programs that help users interact with blockchains. Through wallets, users can easily and securely transact cryptocurrencies and digital assets, including Bitcoin Ordinals.
There are two main types of crypto wallets: * hard wallets, which store data and secure information within a hardware device, and * soft wallets, which store data within a cloud or server
Please find an informative article by Xverse on the types of crypto wallets here.
Although hard wallets can be more secure, they are more expensive and difficult to set up and use as a newcomer, so we will be setting up a soft wallet using Xverse, one of the most widely used Bitcoin Wallets that support Ordinals. With a Bitcoin Ordinals wallet, you’ll be able to purchase digital assets on Bitcoin, including OCM Genesis and OCM Dimensions, from our marketplace Osura.

Fund Your Bitcoin Wallet. Where Can I Purchase BTC?
Once your Bitcoin wallet with Ordinals support (e.g. Xverse) is set up, it’s time to fund it with bitcoin crypto currency (BTC). BTC can be purchased from cryptocurrency exchange platforms like Coinbase, Binance, Kraken (USA) and Newton (Canada). Available currency exchange and crypto purchasing platforms vary per region.
How can I send BTC to my Bitcoin Wallet? Xverse
If you accidentally send BTC to your Ordinals/Taproot address, your BTC balance will not reflect the transfer, and this bitcoin will not be spendable. Only send BTC to the BTC payment address.
