Where things live
Section titled “Where things live”Inscribe has one workspace per job. This page lists all of them, in the order the sidebar shows them, so you can find the right one without opening each.
If you already know what you want to do, four routes are faster than the sidebar:
- The search box in the header.
- The Mint menu beside it, which lists every workspace that creates something, with a line saying what each one does.
- The command palette,
Ctrl+Kon Windows and Linux,Cmd+Kon macOS. - The paste box on Home. Paste an address, a txid, an inscription ID or a ticker and Inscribe opens the workspace that handles it.
All four read the same list, so a workspace appears in every one of them or in none, described the same way.
Most workspaces also have a guide under Docs & Guides in the app, with the exact field names, the diagrams, and worked examples. This page is the map; those guides are the detail. Seven workspaces have no guide yet: ChainBloom, Witness Circles, Tandem, Patina, Atomicals NFTs, Atomicals Realms, and the Stamps protocol tab, though Stamps inscription is covered under Create.
Workspace
Section titled “Workspace”| Workspace | What it is for |

| Ord Studio | Full inscription-envelope control: live HTML sandbox, templates, and the ord spec fields (pointer, parent, metadata, gzip, metaprotocol) |

| Portfolio | Everything your connected wallet holds, grouped by protocol |
| Explore | The same view for any address you paste, no wallet needed |
| Watchlist | Track wallets without connecting them |

Protocols
Section titled “Protocols”Most protocol workspaces share one shape: browse a token list, fill a Deploy, Mint or Transfer form, then pay through one checkout. Read How the protocol tabs work in the app before your first one.
Ordinals
| Workspace | What it is for |
|---|---|
| brc-20 | Deploy, mint and transfer BRC-20 tokens: JSON text inscriptions. Supports 4-byte, 5-byte self-issuance, and brc2.0 |
| tap | Deploy, mint and transfer TAP tokens, or mint DMT tokens that claim block numbers. TAP transfers take two steps |
| block-20 | Deploy, mint and transfer BLOCK-20 tokens. Each mint embeds the latest block hash, filled in at mint time |
Atomicals
| Workspace | What it is for |
|---|---|
| arc-20 | Mint, deploy and transfer coloured-sat tokens with direct wallet signing. No payment-address step |
| atomicals nfts | Atomicals non-fungible assets |
| atomicals realms | Names and sub-realms in the Atomicals namespace |
Stamps
| Workspace | What it is for |
|---|---|
| stamps | Bitcoin Stamps: images encoded straight into the UTXO set, so the data cannot be pruned |
| src-20 | Deploy, mint and transfer SRC-20. Data lives in 330-sat P2WSH outputs; your wallet signs pre-built PSBTs |
| src-101 | Register permanent Bitcoin domain names ending in .sats or .btc, funded by one signature |
OP_RETURN family

| drop pacts | Design and launch Drop Pact agreements, with a resumable tutorial |
| op-drop | Deploy, mint and transfer op-drop tokens. Every operation is a compact JSON inscription, funded wallet-only |
Collaborative and time
| Workspace | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Tandem | Build and change one object together, with a signed record of each change |
| Patina | How long a value-carrying output has stayed where it is |
Other protocols
| Workspace | What it is for |
|---|---|
| runes | Mint open Runes, etch your own, or split a rune balance across outputs |

| tap on doge | Mint TAP tokens indexed on Dogecoin, including Doge DMT blocks. Mint only |
| dust-20 | Deploy and mint DUST-20, where the mint output’s sat value encodes the amount |

What the availability labels mean
Section titled “What the availability labels mean”A workspace stays visible even when the index behind it is down or catching up. It says so instead of disappearing, because a missing workspace looks like a product that never had the feature.
- Available: the source answered and is at the chain tip.
- Degraded: the source answered but is behind, or one of several sources did not answer. Reads still work, and the page names what is missing.
- Unsupported: the source is not running for this network. Nothing is guessed or filled in from elsewhere.
Protocol data status and recovery explains where these states come from and what each one blocks.
