Sub 1 sat/vB Mode Setup Guide
1. What is Sub 1 sat/vB Mode ?
This refers to selecting a fee rate lower than 1 sat/vB when inscribing or using UTXO management features. Most network nodes enforce a default relay policy requiring ≥1 sat/vB. But Sub 1 sat/vB transactions is more common now that network fee is generally low.
✨ Advantage of Sub 1 sat/vB Mode:
Save transaction fees, suitable for non-urgent or large batch minting.
⚠️ Risk of Sub 1 sat/vB Mode:
Most pools do not mine sub 1 sat/vB transactions. Confirmation is not guaranteed may take a long time (from several hours to several days) or never get processed.
‼️ Check Current Network Fee Rate
Before setting sub 1 sat/vB fee rate, we recommend checking the current Bitcoin network congestion. A fee rate of 1 sat/vB or lower means it may result in longer confirmation times.
You may use mempool.space to view the fee rate and estimated confirmation time in real time.
Currently, UniSat Inscribe and UTXO Management Tool services have supported sub 1 sat/vB mode, allowing users to set fee rates below 1 sat/vB to reduce inscribing costs.
In the fee selection area, set your custom fee rate manually or use the slider, e.g.,
0.2 sat/vB.
Acknowledge Risk Warning
The system will display a risk alert when enabling sub 1 sat/vB fee mode. Please read the on-page warning carefully, and confirm that you fully understand the risks.

Please note:
Under Sub 1 sat/vB Mode, you are only adjusting the fee rate for minting transaction, not for the payment transaction.
Please do not manually change the fee rate for payment to ensure quick order submission
