child-inscription

Parent-child ordinal inscriptions establish on-chain provenance through a two-step commit-reveal process on Bitcoin. This skill orchestrates broadcasting the commit transaction to lock funds, then revealing the child inscription by spending both the commit output and parent UTXO to attach verifiable lineage.

Yes, you can estimate parent-child inscription costs before broadcasting. This skill provides read-only cost estimation to help plan your funds, calculating the required Bitcoin for both the commit and reveal transactions without actually transmitting them to the network.

The commit-reveal process for Taproot ordinal inscriptions works by first locking funds and ownership to a parent in a commit transaction. After confirmation, the reveal execution spends the commit output and parent UTXO to create the child inscription, returning the parent to your wallet address.

Yes, you need an unlocked Bitcoin wallet to broadcast commit and reveal transactions. The commit broadcasting requires an unlocked wallet to secure the inscription, and the reveal execution needs the wallet to spend both the commit output and parent UTXO while managing ownership checks.

A key limitation is managing state persistence across the commit-reveal workflow. You must wait for commit confirmation before executing the reveal step, and on-chain ownership validation is required to verify parent control and preserve provenance during the transaction process.
