Parent/Child Provenance

Enable the Parent/Child toggle to mint “child” inscriptions linked directly to a parent you own, establishing on-chain provenance that verifies their origin.

  • Trustlessly establish the provenance of child inscriptions

  • Children and parent inscriptions can used in the same collection

🎨 Delegate: Save big when mass-minting copies!

Delegate lets you create copies of an inscription easily by nominating a “delegate” (the original copy). Imagine repeat-minting 1000 images in one go!

It save storing content for each inscription and therefore saves fees too! Requests for the content of an inscription with a delegate will instead return the content, content type and content encoding of the delegate.

ICYDK, UniSat OG pass collection was minted with this method! This helped us save big on fees.

📝 Metadata

Metadata option lets you add metadata to your inscriptions using CBOR format when inscribing.

You can now attach rich, human-readable info like Name and Traits to your inscriptions!


📍 Pointer: Choose Your Sats!

With the Pointer option, you can choose exactly which utxo or sats (satoshi) your inscription gets minted on, like rare sats!

  • This gives builders more control over sats

  • This can be used to create multiple inscriptions in a single transaction on different sats
