Why this rank
Why UniSat Marketplace ranks #2
Each strength is read from evidence on a 0–10 ladder and weighted as the published methodology states. The 32 objective points these produce (19.9 here) sit inside the score; availability, friction, trust record and measured data add the rest. Best in this ranking on 2 of 4.

What would move the rank
Each line is the ranking run again with one of UniSat Marketplace’s criterion scores changed and every other value held: the smallest whole-point change on that criterion that moves its rank, and where the re-run puts it. Up to 4 climbs and 3 falls are listed, smallest change first. Nothing here is a forecast.

Record watch-outs
- Royalties are unenforceable on Bitcoin — never underwrite them
- Your actual fee depends on a UniSat Points balance you may not know in advance
- Malicious PSBTs can spend unintended UTXOs; inscription-bearing UTXOs can be burned as fees by mishandling
- 2023 BRC-20 double-spend bug (70 affected txs, compensated) is on the record

Facts
facts, not scoresWhat the record publishes
- Pricing
- 0.5% base service fee on a UniSat Points ladder. Names, brc-20 (Bitcoin mainnet) and Runes cost 0.5% below 500 points and 0% at 500+. NFT Collections and Pre-brc2.0 Collections cost 0.5% under 1,500 points, 0.3% from 1,500 to 1,999, and 0% at 2,000+. Alkanes is 0% sell-side and 1.2% buy-side. No service fee applies to orders under 500,000 sats on the brc20/Runes/Collections/Names markets (Bitcoin mainnet), under 250,000 sats on Alkanes, or under 2 FB on Fractal, and the brc-20 market on Fractal charges 0. OG Pass holders get 0.3% on Collections and a 20% discount across mainnet markets. A quoted '0%' is therefore a top tier, a small order or Fractal brc-20, not the base rate.UniSat fee-rates documentation ↗ · 14 September 2026

Changes to published ranks are recorded in a ledger; every step and its cause is listed on the rank-history page. The entries below begin with the current verified snapshot, then the methodology versions whose changes applied to this category, newest first.

- 10 October 2026
2026.10.8When nothing serves your country, the list shown for reference is the published ranking · platform-wide- fixed The reference list shown when nothing serves your country is the published order with the published scores, and a build check now fails any such list out of that order or with a score the ranking does not publish.
- fixed The explorer prints an overall rank only for a row the published ranking holds; a country entrant such as Coinbase Commerce for US merchants shows no overall rank.
- changed Published orders do not move. Country results change only where nothing serves the country: in India bill pay keeps Bitcoin Well first and now shows Strike second, as published; 35 such runs across all categories and countries now match the published list exactly.
- 10 October 2026
2026.10.6A criterion you require re-scores the rows that meet it · platform-wide- changed The explorer sends each criterion you require, at any band, as fit_required with your other answers; region, licence, chain and fact filters stay filters. On /best, a required criterion joins For you as a marked preference does, which needs your country; Overall stays the published ranking, filtered.
- added Every published criterion has a golden case as the explorer sends it (require:<criterion>), so the order a requirement gives is replayed and gated as the published order is, and a change to it needs an entry here.
- 16 September 2026
2026.09.15Dimension scores carry tenths, and eleven more categories are re-read from primary sources · platform-wide- changed Dimension scores resolve to tenths of a point (O-04b), and weightedTotal is rounded to six decimal places before the order is read. 518 published scores move across 107 categories that were not re-read; none of them moves by more than 4 points, and most move by 1.
- fixed 66 published scores change in the eleven re-read categories, against a verbatim source each. The largest moves are Reflexer RAI (−16), Beefy and Unrekt (−11), Aztec (−10) and Golem (+9) — all of them rows whose sources had moved since their last read.
- changed Published order moves in 38 of 119 categories and three #1s change: smart_contract_audits (Zellic → Certora) and travel_rule_compliance (Sumsub Travel Rule → CodeVASP) on the finer resolution, kyc_compliance (Veriff → Sumsub) on the re-read.
- added availabilitySource (O-04g): for a reader who states a country, a row whose availability in that country rests on a region tag its record gives no source for sorts below every sourced row. It is inert in every order published here, which states no country.
