🧮How to Set

The basics

Holders of seed inscriptions can update their seed's appearance by setting it with a new seed number.

Setting a seed is simple: just inscribe a properly formatted seed number as a child of the seed inscription.

The result of setting a seed:

• The original seed inscription's appearance will update to reflect the new seed number.

• A new inscription will be created containing only the seed number text (called an "incarnation") .

Using the SEEDS editor makes setting a seed easy so you don't have to venture deep into the weeds of how seeds work.

Manual inscription (Advanced users)

For users with a Bitcoin node & Ord server, or who have access to 3rd-party inscription services offering Ordinals' advanced features:

Seed inscriptions can easily be set manually by experienced technical users of Ordinals.

Manual inscription requires the ability to inscribe a child inscription and may optionally utilize the Ordinals protocol's re-inscription and delegation features.

Generating a seed number

Before you can set a seed, you need to decide what seed number you will use.

It is recommended to visit the SEEDS web app—or open any seed inscription in the browser—and use SEEDS' purpose-built Editor UI to generate your seed number.

Inscribing a seed number

To set a seed, simply inscribe a properly-formatted seed number as the text content of a new child inscription that is parented by the seed.

⚙ Re-inscription (Optional) - Re-inscribe the seed number text on the parent seed's sat if you wish to link the ownership of the two inscriptions.

⚙ Delegation (Optional) - Delegate the child incarnation's content to its parent to give the incarnation inscription a visual when viewed in wallets, ordinal explorers, and browsers.

⚙ Batching (Optional) - Inscription transactions can be batched, inscribing multiple incarnations at once.
