NFT REVIEW Gamma Integrates Bitcoin L1 and Stacks L2 NFTs in Unified Platform

Gamma, a platform for Ordinals and NFT creation and trading, has released a new experience that integrates Bitcoin Layer 1 Ordinals and Stacks Layer 2 NFT trading. This update aims to position Gamma as a leader in the rising digital art frontier on Bitcoin ahead of the anticipated Stacks Nakamoto Upgrade and the release of sBTC, which could revolutionize the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Unified Collector Profiles for NFT Management

A crucial new aspect of Gamma’s unified platform is the Unified Collector Profile. This profile enables users to link a Bitcoin Ordinals wallet to a Stacks L2 wallet so that assets held in both ecosystems can be managed in one place. This profile function is integrated into the platform, giving users across both blockchains a simple way to manage and display their NFTs.

The platform also introduces an interface that can be customized to the needs of different users, from traders to digital art collectors. In this respect, it serves active traders with detailed stats, market data, and asset lists. Art collectors using the platform will have a gallery-like view highlighting their digital art collections. To date, Gamma has supported sales for big-name projects tied to Ordinals, such as OnChainMonkey and Bitcoin Magazine Historic Covers.

Nick Sainato, CEO and Founder of Gamma, highlighted the significance of the platform’s new integration, stating, “We’re breaking down walls and making Bitcoin more versatile than ever. With Bitcoin L1 Ordinals and Stacks L2 NFTs under one roof, Gamma is making the Bitcoin collecting and trading experience more seamless than ever—and we’re just getting started.”

Early Access for Gamma Summer Pass Holders with Xverse

Starting September 17, the Gamma Summer Pass will grant holders access to an exclusive early beta release of the platform. For its launch, Gamma is collaborating with Xverse, a leading Bitcoin Ordinals wallet. This partnership allows users to integrate their wallets across Bitcoin L1 and L2, all within the Gamma platform, for a unified experience across both layers and retain more control of their assets.

Ken Liao, CEO and Founder of Xverse, highlighted the importance of this development, stating, “Through the Xverse app, users will enjoy an intuitive, integrated interface on Gamma that makes it easier than ever for collectors and creators to engage with Bitcoin in innovative ways.” Liao also emphasized this integration’s new possibilities for how users engage with Bitcoin’s digital art space.

Finally, the Nakamoto Upgrade, implemented in Stacks, will reduce block times from 10 minutes to mere seconds, setting Gamma up for the expected resurgence in activity around NFTs. Combined with sBTC, this upgrade enables Bitcoin Ordinals to scale through Stacks L2, plus users can bridge their Ordinals between Bitcoin L1 and Stacks L2, enabling more efficiency and flexibility for collectors and creators.
