Inscribing

GeneratOrd offers you with two options to inscribe. You can either inscribe with GeneratOrd, or you can inscribe yourself, which you may want to do if you want to inscribe onto rare or exotic sats.

Inscribing Yourself

If you want to inscribe yourself, it will cost 250 sats per item in your collection.

After you have paid, you will still have the option to inscribe with GeneratOrd, and the payment you make here will be deducted off the inscription service fee

After payment you cannot change certain settings, so make sure you are certain before paying.

For Generative PFP Collections, you will not be able to change:

• The Metadata

• Trait Inscriptions/Images

For Ditto's, you will not be able to change:

• The Display Image

• The Collection Size

You will be required to choose the fee rate of your payment, which determines how quickly the transaction is confirmed.

Fee Rate

Three options for the fee rate are suggested by default, which are determined based on the current network fees. Bitcoin fees and confirmation times are unpredictable, so it is difficult to know how long a transaction will take to confirm, but very approximately, the three fee rates correspond to:

• Low: Typically confirms in around one hour

• Normal: Typically confirms in the next block (roughly 10 mins). However, if the fee rates spike it may take longer

• High: Also typically confirms in the next block (roughly 10 mins). However, if the fees spike, it will be quicker than if you choose Normal

• Custom: If you are not happy with the suggested fee rates, you can set the fee rate to anything you like using a custom fee rate

If you choose a custom fee rate, be careful not to set it too low. If the fee rate is too low, your transactions may never be confirmed, and we cannot do anything to resolve this.

You cannot access your collection files until your payment is confirmed, so if your payment gets stuck in the mempool indefinitely, you may never get access to your collection.

Download and Inscribe Your Collection

There are 3 steps to inscribing your collection. Each step requires you to download a file generated by GeneratOrd, and inscribe it. The files are available in the Inscribe tab of your collection after your payment is confirmed.

If you are creating a Ditto collection, then there is no metadata, so you can skip step 1, and go straight to inscribing your config in step 2.

Step 1: Metadata

Download and inscribe your Metadata file. Record the inscription ID, as you will need it in step 2.

Note: This is not the metadata file you uploaded. This is a highly efficient metadata format used by GeneratOrd which you can download in the Inscribe tab of your collection

Step 2: Config

Enter the inscription ID of your Metadata inscription from Step 1 into GeneratOrd. Now, download and inscribe your Config file. Record the inscription ID, as you will need it in step 3.

Step 3: Collection

Enter the inscription ID of your Config inscription from Step 2 into GeneratOrd. Now download your collection files. Unzip the download, and you will see lots of HTML files (one for each item in your collection). Inscribe all of these separately, and then you are done! Each HTML file will display a different item in your collection.

Tip: If you are unsure that you have done Steps 1 and 2 correctly, initially try inscribing just 1 of your HTML files.

• If it displays an item in your collection correctly, then you have done everything correctly, and can inscribe the rest of the collection knowing it will work.

• If it doesn't display correctly, you have done something wrong, but at least you have only wasted 3 inscriptions.

Inscribing With GeneratOrd

Inscribing with GeneratOrd is super simple, and only takes a few clicks.

The service fee is 250 sats per item in your collection (fee to generate the files), plus an additional 500 sats per inscription (fee to inscribe the files).

To inscribe, you need to choose your fee rate, padding size and destination address. For more details on how to choose the fee rate, see above.

Padding

The padding is the number of sats that is stored with each inscription.

Standard inscriptions typically have 10,000 sats of padding, so if you do not understand the implications of setting a custom padding, this is a good default option.

However, it is common to use a smaller padding size to reduce the cost of inscription, and the smallest you can use is 546 sats (any smaller than this won't be accepted by the miners).

If you use ordinals with a wallet that doesn't support ordinals, having more padding is useful, as it means you can use the padding as fees when transferring the ordinal, and reduces the chance you accidentally spend your inscription as fees. However, these days, most people use wallets that support ordinals, and these wallets handle the fees for you to make sure you don't spend your inscription as fees.

For these reasons, low padding can be risky if you're not using an ordinals supported wallet, but is normally fine to use and can reduce costs significantly.

Destination Address

By default GeneratOrd will send all your inscriptions to the address you enter here.

If you want to send the inscriptions to your connected wallet, you can simply press Send To Wallet to auto fill your ordinals address.

Send To Many

If you do not want all inscriptions to go to the same address, you can select the Send To Many option. This is very useful to Airdrop to a list of addresses you have previously collected.

When Send To Many is selected, two fields will appear.

In the first field, simply enter in the list of addresses you want to send your collection to. Each address must be on a separate line, and there must be nothing except the address (i.e. no punctuation such as comma's). You will need as many addresses as there are items in your collection. e.g. If your collection size is 500, you must enter exactly 500 addresses.

The order of the addresses determines which item is sent to which address. The address on the first line will get Token ID 1, the second line will get Token ID 2 and so on. So, if it is important which person receives which item, make sure the addresses are in the right order.

It may be useful to collate your addresses in Excel, Google Sheets, or a text editor with line numbers, so you can easily see which addresses correspond to which token ID's. You can copy directly from Excel/Google Sheets to GeneratOrd and the addresses will be formatted correctly.

The second field is the Treasury Address. Ideally this is an address you own, and it will receive all the the inscriptions that are required to make the recursion work. This includes:

• The images of your traits (if inscribing traits through GeneratOrd)

• The Javascript Config file

• The collection Metadata

Make sure any addresses you provide GeneratOrd are correct and can receive and send inscriptions.

GeneratOrd takes no responsibility for lost inscriptions due to an incorrect destination address.
