Inscribe Text with Luminex

In the Ethereum ecosystem, the term we use for creating NFTs is “mint,” meaning “to forge.” However, in the Bitcoin ecosystem, there is a unique term for creating NFTs called “inscribe,” which translates to “engrave.” The resulting item is called an “inscription.” When people in the community talk about creating NFTs, they often use the phrase “inscribe an inscription.” For example, when someone asks, “What are you inscribing today?” they’re asking about what NFT is being created. Of course, if you’re more comfortable using the term “mint,” that’s also perfectly fine.

So, how do you inscribe an inscription?

You need three things: Bitcoin, wallet, and an inscribing platform.

There are currently multiple platforms being used in the Bitcoin ecosystem for inscribing. Since Luminex is one of the most popular at the moment, we will tutorial you on “How to Inscribe Text Using the Luminex Platform”.

Luminex currently offers three options for inscription: Text, Files, and Delegate.
