  • The final Inscribe quote is authoritative. This preview is for understanding only.
  • Commit transaction size depends on the funding inputs the wallet picks, so only the reveal virtual bytes are shown.
  • Inscription outputs keep 546 sats of postage that stays owned by the user and moves with the asset.

Transaction anatomy explorer

Commit and reveal (ordinals-style inscription) (synthetic fixture)
PartValueWhat it is
Input fixture-1:a12,000 satsNo known asset
Output6,906 satsCommit address (service)
Output5,094 satsChange back to your payment address
After the commit confirms, the reveal transaction spends it:
Reveal output546 satsInscription output (postage stays yours)
Reveal output6,360 satsMiner fee

Read the classifications carefully: "No known asset" means this fixture does not model an asset. It is not a guarantee. "Value stays yours" marks outputs you still own: postage and change. Spent fee value belongs to the miner the moment the transaction confirms.

Wallet review: what to verify before every signature

Use this checklist against whatever wallet you use. The simulator is wallet-neutral on purpose: it teaches the checks, not one app's buttons.

  1. Network: the wallet header and the order page agree on mainnet.
  2. Operation: the request matches what you clicked (a payment, not a transfer of a held asset).
  3. Recipient: the exact address from the order page, compared end to end.
  4. Total: matches the quoted total to the sat.
  5. Fee: sensible for the current fee rate; no surprise multiples.
  6. Service fee: the flat documented amount, shown separately.
  7. Inputs: none of them hold assets you are not deliberately spending; the app warns before funding from asset-bearing outputs.
  8. Change: goes back to your address.
  9. Unexpected outputs: anything not on this list is a stop condition.

Safety exercises

Your wallet shows a signature request for a testnet address while you are creating on mainnet. What do you do?
The wallet review shows a receiving address that differs by two characters from the one you copied. What do you do?
The transaction has an extra output you do not recognize, paying a fixed small amount. What is it?
Your funding input is 12,000 sats but the outputs only pay the 6,906 sat commit with no change output. What does that mean?
Your payment to the commit address is stuck unconfirmed and the wallet cannot fee-bump it. What do you do?
You signed a transfer to an address you mis-copied, it confirmed, and the assets are gone. What can be done?
