OpenStamp

OpenStamp is a digital marketplace and service platform built on the Bitcoin STAMP Protocol, founded in 2022 and based in Singapore. The company provides a comprehensive suite of tools for the SRC-20 and SRC-721 token standards, which involve embedding data directly and immutably into Bitcoin's Unspent Transaction Outputs (UTXOs). This method of on-chain data storage distinguishes it from the BRC-20 standard, which stores data in the witness section of a transaction.

The platform offers a range of products including a marketplace for trading, services for minting and deploying tokens and NFTs, an explorer for asset tracking, and a Launchpad for new projects. The business model is centered on serving blockchain enthusiasts and developers by facilitating the creation and exchange of these digital assets. For example, sellers on the marketplace utilize small UTXOs, which the platform helps them create, to list their assets for sale. OpenStamp aims to enhance Bitcoin's capabilities by enabling more complex applications to be built directly on the network, leveraging technologies like the Nervos CKB and the RGB++ protocol.

In March 2024, OpenStamp secured an undisclosed amount in a seed funding round. The round was led by Animoca Ventures and included participation from numerous other investors such as KuCoin Ventures, MH Ventures, and SPE Capital. The company intends to use the capital to expand its platform and further contribute to the growth of the STAMPS ecosystem.
