Magisat is the First Bitcoin Ordinals Mempool Marketplace
Bitcoin Ordinals Mempool Sniping has always been a “thing” and I believe it’s primed to gain popularity with the launch of the Runes Protocol. Early Bitcoin marketplaces like Magic Eden didn’t take the mempool and block times into account which opened the door for sniping Ordinals buy transactions. In this Stouy tutorial, I’ll show you a user-friendly Bitcoin “mempool marketplace” for Ordinals, Rare SATs, and potentially Runes tokens as well.
So what is Bitcoin Mempool Sniping you ask? Let’s say you purchase (or think you’ve purchased) a Bitcoin Ordinal like Runestones on a regular marketplace like Magic Eden. After confirming the transaction in your Xverse wallet, your purchase is sent to the public Bitcoin mempool where it awaits confirmation. Depending on how busy the Mempool is at the time of your purchase, it can take from 10 minutes to well over an hour to confirm. This opens opens the door for Mempool snipers who look for arbitrage opportunities to snipe your Bitcoin ordinals (Rare SATs, Runes Tokens) by paying slightly higher transaction fees. It’s really a flaw of the marketplace design to allow for it to happen in the first place. It’s known as RBF (“Replace-by-Fee”) and the Bitcoin digital asset ends up in the snipers wallet instead of yours.
Bitcoin Runes Token Trading Could Make Mempool Sniping More Popular
The launch of Runes tokens will most likely add even more fuel to the mempool sniper trend as it will bring new wallets into the Bitcoin Ecosystem. Imagine there’s a fully etched / minted out Runes project that’s gaining momentum fast. Most people will trade the hot Runes meme coin on regular Bitcoin marketplaces like Magic Eden and UniSat exposing their buy transactions to the public mempool. Until recently, only the most technical folks knew the mechanics of “Replace-By-Fee” and were able to successfully execute Bitcoin mempool snipes for Ordinals. This left normal Bitcoin Ordinals traders at a disadvantage when trying to buy into popular collections with rapidly rising floor prices.
