This article uses the minting of .stats domain NFT as an example to introduce the BTC NFT minting process.

Preparation:

1. Download the UniSat wallet to store NFT, as it can recognize assets from the Ordinals protocol.

2. Download the Wallet of Satoshi(or use the Alby browser extension wallet , the principle is the same), which we'll use later to process Lightning Network transactions for faster speeds.

3. Log in to the CryptoGas.shop the Lightning Network recharge page at https://cryptogas.shop/ln-btc to top up your Wallet of Satoshi with Lightning Network BTC. This website supports purchasing with any wallet and any crypto, is KYC-free, and is very convenient.

For the specific steps for 2 and 3, refer to these tutorials

We recommend creating a new wallet and securely storing the mnemonic phrase, then proceed to the next step.

This step is crucial. The receiving address for minting Ordinals NFT must be in Taproot format (starting with bc1p). So, we choose to create a Taproot format address (starting with bc1p) to receive your NFT.

Using the UniSat minting tool

Official website: https://unisat.io/inscribe

Select .sats

Enter the desired domain name, such as: bbb.sats

Click Next, check the name you want to mint. The next step is crucial: the receiving address must be in Taproot format (starting with bc1p), otherwise, your NFT may be lost.

Find the Taproot address for receiving Ordinals NFT in your UniSat wallet, as shown in the image below. Select the Ordinals Taproot address (starting with bc1p) and copy this address to the UniSat address field above.

Then, choose the fee rate. We generally select Custom to ensure the minting process is completed as quickly as possible.
