# Inscription-wallet, on Windows

## A Complete Guide to Minting DRC-20 Tokens on Windows

The following guide will walk you through the process of setting up your environment and minting DRC-20 tokens on Windows using VeryDogeLab's Inscription Wallet. \
This process involves several key steps, including system setup, account registration on getblock.io, wallet creation and funding, and ultimately, the minting process.

### System Setup

#### Download and Install Git

1. Visit the [Git official site](https://git-scm.com/) and download the Git for Windows installer.
2. Run the installer and follow the prompts to install Git. \
   Remember the location where Git is installed.

#### Download and Install Node.js

1. Visit the [Node.js official site](https://nodejs.org/) and download the LTS (Long Term Support) version.
2. Run the installer and follow the prompts to install Node.js. \
   The Node.js package includes both Node.js and the npm package manager.

#### Clone Inscription Wallet Repository

1. Open Git Bash, which was installed with Git. \
   You can do this by searching for 'Git Bash' in your Start Menu.
2. Clone the repository with the following command: `git clone https://github.com/verydogelabs/inscription-wallet.git`.

{% endhint %}

### Register and Generate API Key on Getblock.io

1. Visit [Getblock.io](https://getblock.io/) and sign up for a new account.
2. Once logged in, generate your Dogecoin API key by selecting 'Dogecoin' as the protocol and 'Mainnet' as the network, then clicking 'Get'.
3. A new entry will appear under 'My endpoints', formatted as: `https://doge.getblock.io/YoutAPIKey/mainnet/`. \
   This is your API key—keep it safe and do not share it.

### Configure Your Environment

1. Navigate to the `inscription-wallet` directory in Git Bash: `cd inscription-wallet`.
2. Create a new `.env` file by copying the example file: `cp .env.example .env`.
3. Open the `.env` file in a text editor and fill in the following information:

```bash
NODE_RPC_URL=https://doge.getblock.io/YoutAPIKey/mainnet/
NODE_RPC_USER=
NODE_RPC_PASS=
TESTNET=false
FEE_PER_KB=5000000
```

Replace `YourAPIKey` with your actual API key from Getblock.io.

### Install bitcore-lib-doge

1. In your inscription-wallet folder, launch the following command :&#x20;

```
npm install bitcore-lib-doge
```

### Create and Fund Your Wallet

1. Create a new `.wallet.json` file with the command: `node . wallet new`. \
   This will generate a new Dogecoin address.
2. Send Dogecoin to the newly created address. \
   We recommend sending at least 200 DOGE if you plan on minting tokens rapidly.

### (Optional) Split UTXOs

If you plan to mint a large number of tokens, consider splitting your Unspent Transaction Outputs (UTXOs) to facilitate multiple transactions concurrently. \
\
To split your UTXOs, use the command: `node . wallet split <count>`. \
We recommend splitting into 50 UTXOs.

### Sync Your Wallet

Sync your wallet with the command: `node . wallet sync`. \
You should see the amount of Dogecoin received by your wallet.

### Mint DRC-20 Tokens

You can mint tokens individually with: \
`node . drc-20 mint <WALLET> <TICKER> <AMOUNT>`, or in bulk. \
If you want to use the bulk minting command, refer to the quick minting guide for more detailed instructions.

**Congratulations!** \
**You're now ready to mint DRC-20 tokens on Windows using VeryDogeLab's Inscription Wallet.**
