How to Mint Emoji Tokens

Minting on Emojis.Trade is permissionless and built on the BRC‑20 standard. In a few clicks you inscribe a transaction that credits new emoji tokens directly to your Bitcoin address via the UniSat wallet.


📝 Step‑by‑Step

  1. Connect your UniSat wallet on Emojis.Trade.

  2. Find an emoji token whose Status is Available.

  3. Click Mint next to that token.

  4. UniSat opens the mint screen.

  5. Enter the amount you want (≤ token Limit/Mint).

  6. Review the BTC network fee → Confirm.

  7. Wait for 1‑2 block confirmations.

  8. Tokens appear in UniSat under BRC‑20 · .


🛠️ Under the Hood

The mint button triggers an ordinal inscription containing JSON like:

{
  "p":   "brc-20",
  "op":  "mint",
  "tick": "🍕",   // emoji ticker
  "amt":  "1000"  // amount you’re minting
}
  • tick – the emoji ticker, e.g. 🍕, 🥑, 🐶.

  • amt – token quantity, expressed as an integer (no decimals in BRC‑20).

Indexers (UniSat, Ordiscan, etc.) read this inscription, update the token’s total minted count, and credit your address.


⚠️ Things to Remember

  • First‑come, first‑served — once max supply is hit, minting closes forever.

  • Non‑refundable fees — if you over‑mint past remaining supply, the tx fails but miner fees are spent.

  • Gas strategy — lower fee = cheaper but slower; if supply is low, pay a competitive fee.

  • BTC balance — keep a few thousand sats handy for inscriptions.


🔮 Coming Soon

  • Batch mint across multiple emojis in one flow.

  • Mint alerts when a token hits 90 % supply.

  • One‑click assistant in the Emojis.Trade UI (automates steps 3‑6).
