Portfolio
Portfolio shows everything your connected wallet holds, grouped by protocol.
The three views
Section titled “The three views”| View | What it shows | Wallet needed? |
|---|---|---|
| Portfolio | Everything your connected wallet holds | Yes |
| Explore | The same view for any address you paste | No |
| Watchlist | Addresses you track without connecting them | No |
Explore is the one worth remembering. You can inspect any address, including your own, without connecting anything.
Two balances, never one
Section titled “Two balances, never one”The bitcoin balance card reports the payment address on its own.
Satoshis sitting at an Ordinals address are carrying assets. They are not spendable from there, and adding the two figures together would tell you that you can spend money you cannot. So Inscribe does not.
Read wallets and the two addresses for what each address is for.
Where the numbers come from
Section titled “Where the numbers come from”Portfolio reads several independent sources:
| Source | What it supplies |
|---|---|
| The Bitcoin node | Your bitcoin balance and your outputs |
| The Ordinals index | Inscriptions and Rune balances |
| Separate indexes | Mezcal, SRC-20, OP_DROP and OP_RETURN names |
They fail independently, which is why the page can be partly right and says so.
Live and Partial
Section titled “Live and Partial”The header reads Live when every source answered, and Partial when one did not.
When a source is silent, the page names it above your holdings and says three things:
- anything held there is missing from this page;
- what is shown is everything the sources that did answer reported;
- nothing you own has changed.
That last line matters. A missing index is a reporting problem, not a loss.
An empty portfolio is never presented as an answer while a source is silent. The page says nothing was found in the sources that answered and that this is not a complete picture. “No assets found for this address” appears only when every source answered.
This applies per source. If only the Ordinals index is behind, your Mezcal, SRC-20 and OP_DROP balances are still real numbers from indexes that did answer.
What gets classified
Section titled “What gets classified”Around thirty protocol categories are recognised, including BRC-20, ARC-20, CAT-20, Runes, Ordinals, Bitmap, rare sats, Stamps, SRC-20, SRC-101, Atomicals, Alkanes, Mezcal, DMT, TAP, UNAT, BLOCK-20, DUST-20, OP-20, OP Names, OP_RETURN, Drops, OP_DROP and Tandem.
Anything it cannot place shows as Unclassified rather than being dropped from the list. A dropped item would look like an item you do not own.
Several of these are recognised here but not creatable in Inscribe. Bitmap, UNAT and DRC-20 are the clearest cases: you will see them in your portfolio and Inscribe will protect them from being spent as fees, but there is no workspace for making or moving one.
Privacy
Section titled “Privacy”Portfolio, Watchlist, Activity, order, payment-recovery and wallet views suppress social preview images and are marked not to be indexed. A link preview never contains a wallet address, a balance, a session, an account, an order payload or a draft transaction.
If you need to share a view, Screenshot safe in Settings hides balances and addresses.
Inscription images, text, HTML, audio and video load from Universe-operated infrastructure rather than third-party explorers.
Thumbnails use small AVIF or WebP renders where the shared media service has one, and otherwise the original bytes scaled to the tile. The exact original bytes are never altered; derived previews are for display only. Video and audio in galleries do not download until you open them.
Active content, meaning HTML, scripts, and SVG with scripts, always renders inside an isolated sandbox.
