2. Why is my BRC-20 transaction not being confirmed?

Inscribing and trading BRC-20 requires block confirmation on the BTC network. Due to the surge in transactions causing network congestion, your transaction may take 1-2 days to be fully confirmed. If your transaction shows a confirming status, you can track the progress on Mempool. It is recommended that you patiently wait for the block confirmation to complete.

3. Why did my BRC-20 inscription fail?

Here are some possible reasons:

  • The gas fee is insufficient during the inscription process

  • The BTC network is congested

  • The minting status displays as completed, but your transaction is still awaiting confirmation on the blockchain. Note: If your inscription fails, the gas fee will be lost and is non-refundable, as it is charged by the miner.

Note:

  • Make sure that the UTXO assets are not linked to valid inscriptions or NFTs to avoid losing connected NFTs or BRC-20 assets

  • The unlocked UTXO assets will be displayed at Unlocked. If you mistakenly unlock the UTXO connected to a valid NFT or inscription, you can select Restore to recover them. However, please be aware that the restored assets can only be used as gas fees, not the inscription fees. This will not affect the inscription on your wallet address.
