Direct FT issuance

Before you start

• Supported networks: mainnet.
• Status: protocol behavior. Not exposed by any Universe product. Use the reference CLI.
• You need the reference CLI, a funded wallet it controls, and the full supply in bitcoin.

What you need

Input	Notes
A ticker	Lowercase, validated against the active rule. See tickers
The supply	In units, which is also the satoshi value output zero must carry
A metadata file	Optional JSON. Treat everything in it as public and unverified
Funding	The supply, plus commit and reveal fees, plus grinding cost

The command

yarn cli mint-ft <tick> <supply> <file>

Useful options: --bitworkc, --bitworkr, --initialowner, --parent, --parentowner, --funding, --satsbyte, --rbf, --disablechalk. See the CLI reference and the command builder.

What happens

1. A commit transaction pays into a Taproot output committing to the envelope.
2. If Bitwork is set, the commit is ground until its transaction id matches.
3. A reveal transaction spends it, exposing the envelope.
4. Output zero of the reveal carries the whole supply in satoshis.

Cost

The supply itself is locked in output zero. On top: two Bitcoin fees, and grinding time if you set Bitwork. A supply of 100 000 000 units requires one bitcoin in that output.

Check before signing

• The ticker string is exactly what you intend, character by character.
• The supply figure matches the satoshis you are committing.
• The metadata contains nothing private and nothing you cannot stand behind.
• The funding source is cardinal.
• You have enough left to pay the reveal fee after the commit.

If it fails

Failure	Meaning
Ticker rejected	The name failed the active rule
Reveal underfunded	The commit did not carry enough. Fund more and start again
Ticker already claimed	Another Atomical won the name. Your mint may exist without the ticker
Bitwork not met	The grind did not complete for the target

After broadcast

1. Confirm on Bitcoin.
2. Wait for indexing.
3. Confirm the ticker resolved to your Atomical ID and not to a competing candidate.
4. Record the Atomical ID.
5. Plan your lot structure before the first distribution. See split and combine.
