How to Find & Mint Natowls

Disclaimer: If you choose to mint Natowls, please do so at your own risk. All Natowls on blocks prior to 833333 have been minted.

Step 1: Find a Natowls block

First, find a Bitcoin block that contains the pattern 0[abcdef]0 (i.e., 0a0, 0b0, 0c0, 0d0,0e0, or 0f0) in the hexadecimal bits field for Bitcoin's block data. You can do this by looking up a block in a Block explorer like https://blockstream.info/, or by querying Bitcoin block data. But the easiest way is to get the info from our Geniidata dashboard: https://studio.geniidata.com/dashboard/23138.

Step 2: View Natowl

Once you have found a block number that is associated with Natowls, enter the block number in the Natowls viewer to visualize.

Step 3: Check availability

Each Natowl can only be inscribed once. So once you find a block number for a Natowl you like, you'll want to see if anyone else has inscribed it already. You can confirm that the block has not already been minted, by searching for the contents of the mint inscription for the given block (see step 4) via an ordinals search tool such as https://unisat.io/search. Note: search tools like Unisat search will honor spaces when searching, but spaces are ignored in DMT mint syntax. To confirm availability, it is recommended that you search for mint syntax with and without spaces.

Step 4: Mint

To inscribe your Natowls mint, enter the mint inscription text in the text inscription platform of your choice. Make sure to replace <yourblocknumberhere> with the bitcoin block number for your Natowl.

Inscription text:

{
"p":"tap",
"op":"dmt-mint",
"dep":"39b752438be3a452ddb717b0a654b316b1ad46a819eb4481893bc7131f789e9ai0",
"tick":"natowls",
"blk":"<yourblocknumberhere>"
}

Optionally, to ensure that the Natowl will start in an egg, you can add the mint time to the inscription by replacing <yourunixtimeinminuteshere> with the unixtime in minutes. To get the unixtime in minutes, enter the date of the mint on unixtimestamp.com and divide the result (in milliseconds) by 60,000 (1000x60).

{
"p":"tap",
"op":"dmt-mint",
"dep":"39b752438be3a452ddb717b0a654b316b1ad46a819eb4481893bc7131f789e9ai0",
"tick":"natowls",
"blk":"<yourblocknumberhere>",
'd":"<yourunixtimeinminuteshere>"
}

Recommended text inscription platforms: 1. Mscribe 2. Ordbit 3. Unisat

Step 5: Confirm

Once your inscription is confirmed, you can view your Natowls on Mscribe under "My Inventory" > "UNATs" (requires wallet connection). If your inscription was successful, you will see it reflected in the count in your NAT inventory.
