Single-Step Transfer
What is Single-Step Transfer?
Simply put, Single-Step Transfer combines what used to be a two-step process — inscribing a transfer and sending it — into a single, seamless action.
❌ Inscribe transfer inscription > send brc-20
✅ Send brc-20 in ONE STEP!
Simplified Transfer Process
Previously, if you wanted to transfer brc-20 assets (e.g., 100 ORDI) from Address A to Address B:
You had to inscribe a transfer, creating a Transfer inscription that locks part of Address A’s available balance into a transferable balance.
Only after that, you could send your ORDI to Address B, enabling B to receive the assets.
Two steps, two transactions, higher fees.
Now with Single-Step Transfer:
On the Send page, simply enter the recipient's address and the amount you want to send — just like sending FB.
One step, one transaction — fast and simple!
Why It Matters:
Cuts Costs: By combining two transactions into one, you pay significantly lower fees, making brc-20 transfers more affordable.
Saves Time: Skip the tedious step of creating a Transfer inscription. Enter the recipient’s address, set the amount, and send—done!
Streamlines Experience: Simplifies the process when trading brc-20 in a DEX like PizzaSwap or in marketplace.
Batch transfers: Future updates will allow transferring to up to 1,000 addresses in a single transaction with multiple single-step transfers.
New Features with Single-Step Transfer:
🔸 Signed Mint Inscriptions: Inscribe mint operations using the Single-Step Transfer method - directly inscribe into OP_RETURN to prevent creating useless UTXOs at your address.
🔸 Batch inscribing for Single-Step Transfers (deploy/mint/traditional transfers remain individual), and allows spending from UTXOs carrying useless inscriptions to reduce waste and improve efficiency.
Why Launch on Fractal First?
As a Bitcoin-native extension, Fractal resembles Bitcoin closely in its design and adopts the Bitcoin core code, making it the perfect testing ground for upgrades before Bitcoin mainnet deployment.
Our approach to upgrades has always been to remain optimistic about innovations while maintaining steady, careful rollouts to safeguard network integrity and protect user interests. We anticipate that real-world usage on Fractal will help developers to harness the real potential of these brc-20 upgrades.
Fractal’s Highlights:
30-second block time — 20× faster than Bitcoin — enabling quicker confirmations and much shorter transaction wait times.
