We recommend: UniSat Wallet
How to set up and connect your wallet:
If you do not have a Bitcoin/Counterparty address yet, OR if you want to create a new address:
- Download and install UniSat Wallet chrome extension
- Create a New Wallet
- You are all set!
If you already have a Bitcoin/Counterparty address, but you have never used UniSat Wallet yet, choose the right option according to your wallet address format (derivation path).
If your address starts by 1 (“Counterparty legacy” wallet):
- You need to create a new wallet first and then add a new address by importing your private key. Follow the instructions in the wallet to fullfil all the steps.
If your address starts by: bc1q (“native segwit” wallet):
- Choose the “I have a wallet” option and then Input your passphrase, while choosing the “native segwit” address format, OR
- Create a new wallet and then add a new address by importing your private key.
If your address starts by 3 ("nested segwit" wallet): Nested segwit addresses are not yet supported on ORBital.
If your address starts by bc1p (“taproot” wallet): ATTENTION, this type of wallet is not supported by Counterparty! Do not send any Counterparty collectibles here! If you have several addresses, pick another one to connect (one of the address types - derivation paths - above), or create a new wallet.
