URL: https://blockspace.wiki/answers/what-is-counters-fun/

counters.fun is the market layer for Bitcoin [Counters](https://blockspace.wiki/glossary/counter/): "Counters with XCP liquidity pools. On-chain files only." Every five minutes it joins the counters index, which knows files and numbers, with [Counterparty](https://blockspace.wiki/glossary/counterparty/), which knows pools. It shows pools, DEX orders and dispensers, with pages to mint a counter or open a pool. A [pointer counter](https://blockspace.wiki/glossary/pointer-counter/) is never shown.
