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.
Visit the and download the Git for Windows installer.
Run the installer and follow the prompts to install Git. Remember the location where Git is installed.
Visit the and download the LTS (Long Term Support) version.
Run the installer and follow the prompts to install Node.js. The Node.js package includes both Node.js and the npm package manager.
Open Git Bash, which was installed with Git. You can do this by searching for 'Git Bash' in your Start Menu.
Clone the repository with the following command: git clone https://github.com/verydogelabs/inscription-wallet.git
.
Once logged in, generate your Dogecoin API key by selecting 'Dogecoin' as the protocol and 'Mainnet' as the network, then clicking 'Get'.
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.
Navigate to the inscription-wallet
directory in Git Bash: cd inscription-wallet
.
Create a new .env
file by copying the example file: cp .env.example .env
.
Open the .env
file in a text editor and fill in the following information:
Replace YourAPIKey
with your actual API key from Getblock.io.
In your inscription-wallet folder, launch the following command :
Create a new .wallet.json
file with the command: node . wallet new
.
This will generate a new Dogecoin address.
Send Dogecoin to the newly created address. We recommend sending at least 200 DOGE if you plan on minting tokens rapidly.
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 with the command: node . wallet sync
.
You should see the amount of Dogecoin received by your wallet.
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.
