SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the confusion around how to create, mint, and maintain Bitcoin Ordinals inscriptions so your content can live permanently on-chain.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inscription fundamentals: Understand the Ordinals inscription envelope and how content is embedded in satoshis.
  • Content-type workflows: Create inscriptions for text, images, HTML, SVG, JSON (for BRC-20), and more.
  • Token & advanced patterns: Use BRC-20 deploy/mint/transfer mechanics and support recursive inscriptions that reference other on-chain content.
  • Cost and lifecycle operations: Estimate fees, list inscriptions on marketplaces, and search by content type and constraints.

Quick Start

Use the bitcoin inscription CLI to inscribe a PNG file by running the command: btc-inscribe image ./my-art.png --fee-rate 10.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create Bitcoin Ordinals inscriptions for different content types?▼

Creating Bitcoin Ordinals inscriptions involves embedding arbitrary content like text, images, HTML, SVG, or JSON into satoshis. You must handle the correct content-type and construct the inscription envelope properly to ensure permanent on-chain storage.

How does BRC-20 token deployment and minting work on Bitcoin?▼

BRC-20 token operations utilize JSON-based inscriptions to deploy, mint, and transfer tokens on the Bitcoin network. You construct structured JSON content and inscribe it onto satoshis following the BRC-20 standard mechanics for valid token creation.

How do I estimate fees for minting Bitcoin inscriptions?▼

Estimating fees for Bitcoin inscriptions requires calculating the transaction size and applying a specified fee-rate. Using a CLI command like btc-inscribe with a designated fee-rate parameter helps estimate costs for embedding content reliably.

Can I create recursive inscriptions that reference other on-chain content?▼

Recursive inscriptions allow you to reference and compose with other existing on-chain content. This advanced pattern enables composable inscription content by referencing previously inscribed data directly within your new Bitcoin transaction.

How do I list and search for Ordinals inscriptions on marketplaces?▼

Listing and searching Ordinals inscriptions on marketplaces requires structured inscription construction and correct content-type handling. You can list inscriptions or search by specific content types and constraints to manage their lifecycle effectively.
