The term "inscription" has definitely been the most frequently heard term in the crypto community over the past two months. It has spread from BTC to various public blockchains, almost every one of which has needed to undergo an inscription stress test. Only those blockchains that can withstand a bombardment of inscription transactions without crashing can be considered robust. However, after the dazzling array of inscriptions, where does one actually go to trade them, aside from off-chain trading groups?
This week, Dr.DODO has compiled various on-chain inscription markets across different blockchains, giving us a glimpse into the entire ecosystem of on-chain inscription markets!

Author's Perspective
Please note that inscription trading is highly volatile, and most inscriptions are useless community meme tokens, so avoid FOMO. In my opinion, the best strategy for participating in the inscription market is still to be involved in the Mint stage to acquire early chips. Recently, the perception of inscriptions in various public chain communities has gradually changed. Many Defi projects have started issuing their inscriptions, and even public chain project parties have openly welcomed inscriptions due to the traffic and on-chain users they bring.
