Dive into the world of Atomicals and learn about its core components: ARC20 tokens, Dmint NFTs, Realms, and how the AVM powers the entire protocol.
1. Protocol Overview:
Atomicals is more than just a token standard, it realizes the vision of enhancing functionality on Bitcoin envisioned by pioneers such as Satoshi Nakamoto, @halfin, and @VitalikButerin.

2.ARC-20:
ARC20 fungible tokens are colored coins native to Bitcoin, backed 1:1 by Satoshi and PoW mining, and follow a decentralized UTXO model.

3. Partial dyeing:
Partial coloring allows Atomicals to overcome Bitcoin’s dust limitations, providing significant advantages over all other fungible token standards on top of Bitcoin:

4.Dmint:
Dmint has revolutionized Atomicals by leveraging Merkle trees for NFT minting on Bitcoin, enabling efficient and secure data management.

5. Realms:
Realms provide more than just permanent digital identities - they go beyond the current ENS/SNS protocols in functionality. Explore how Realms can enhance organization, security, and functionality in the ecosystem:

6. Atomic Virtual Machine (AVM):
The Atomic Virtual Machine (AVM) will empower the entire ecosystem to enable smart contracts and decentralized computing on Layer 1 (L1) Bitcoin. Diving into the details of the AVM and its capabilities:

7.Atomicals-go indexer:
A lean, open-source indexer for the Atomicals protocol, developed by @isyiming. Benefits include minimized storage requirements, zero downtime, BTC fork adaptability, and mempool query support.

8.UTXO protocol history:
Since the launch of the Ordinal Protocol on BTC, several unique UTXO-based protocols have emerged. Continuing to dive into these protocols, let’s take a look through the eyes of their creators @atomicalsxyz, @rarity_garden, @PipeBtc, and @rodarmor.
