# How to Find & Mint Natowls

**Disclaimer:** If you choose to mint Natowls, please do so at your own risk.\
\ <mark style="color:red;">All Natowls on blocks prior to 833333 have been minted.</mark>

#### Step 1: Find a Natowls block <a href="#step-2-find-a-natcats-block" id="step-2-find-a-natcats-block"></a>

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 <a href="#step-3-view-natcat" id="step-3-view-natcat"></a>

Once you have found a block number that is associated with Natowls, enter the block number in the [Natowls viewer](http://natowls.xyz) to visualize.

#### Step 3: Check availability <a href="#step-4-check-availability" id="step-4-check-availability"></a>

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 <a href="#step-5-mint" id="step-5-mint"></a>

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.&#x20;

**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](https://www.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](https://mscribe.io/) \
2\. [Ordbit](https://inscribe.ordbit.io/inscribe#text)\
3\. [Unisat](https://unisat.io/inscribe)&#x20;

#### Step 5: Confirm <a href="#step-6-confirm" id="step-6-confirm"></a>

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

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://brc333.gitbook.io/natowls/how-to-find-and-mint-natowls.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
