What Inscribe is

Inscribe is one workspace for creating, minting, managing and recovering Bitcoin-native assets, from a first inscription to advanced transaction construction.

What you can do with it

Create inscriptions from text or files, one at a time or in batches, with the full cost laid out for review before you sign.
Deploy, mint and transfer tokens across the protocols Inscribe implements: BRC-20, SRC-20, TAP, BLOCK-20, DUST-20, OP-20, OP_DROP, ARC-20 and others.
Etch and mint runes, and split a rune balance across outputs.
Register names, including .sats and .btc domains through SRC-101 and OP Names.
See everything an address holds in one portfolio that separates spendable bitcoin from asset-bearing satoshis.
Build, split and repair transactions with per-output asset classification before you sign.
Recover satoshis locked in inscription padding, and get back to orders your browser started even after closing the tab.

The full list is in the coverage matrix and the workspace map.

Who it is for

People making their first inscription. Start at your first inscription.
People launching a token or a collection. Start at deploy a token or create a collection.
People who already hold assets and need to move, split or rescue them. Start at advanced transaction tools.

You do not need to connect a wallet to explore the app, read live protocol data, or understand what anything costs. A wallet is asked for only when an action needs a signature.

How it fits with the rest of Bitcoin Universe

Bitcoin Universe has a creation half and a trading half.

Question	Inscribe	Core
What it is for	Making assets	Discovering and trading them
This site covers	Yes	No, see the central platform

These are independent. A protocol you can create in Inscribe may not be tradeable in Core, and a protocol that trades in Core may have no creation workspace here. The coverage matrix on this site describes creation only, and it never borrows marketplace availability to imply something about creation. Of the 27 protocols with a creation surface, the registry records marketplace availability ranging from enabled through read-only to feature-gated, and none of that changes what you can make.

The central platform is at docs.bitcoinuniverse.io.

What the product promises

Your assets are not fee fuel. No automatic funding flow picks an output holding an inscription, Rune or token balance to pay a network fee. How that works.
A source being down is never shown as an empty wallet. Every read names its source, and the app tells you which source did not answer instead of showing you nothing. The six data states.
Costs are shown before the wallet opens. Itemised, then totalled. Read a quote.
Universe-operated infrastructure. Blockchain reads come from Universe-owned nodes and indexes, not public third-party APIs, so the data path is accountable end to end.
Verifiable releases. Every production release is built from an exact commit with recorded evidence, and the footer of every page names the build you are looking at. Release evidence.

What it deliberately does not do

It does not claim success at broadcast. An order stays “in progress” until the indexer and your wallet agree the asset exists.
It does not treat unknown as safe. An output whose contents could not be established is reported as unverified, never as clear.
It does not fall back to public explorers. If the private source cannot answer, the app says so rather than quietly asking someone else.
It does not block you from spending your own assets on purpose. One surface, the Advanced TX Builder, lets you spend an asset-bearing output deliberately. It labels them and leaves the choice to you.
It does not hold your assets. Nothing is custodial. Your wallet signs what moves your money, and the one key Inscribe holds exists for a single order and is scoped to completing it.

Language

The interface is available in English and Chinese. The Chinese catalogue does not yet cover every string, and falls back to English where it does not.
