Until recently, the only way to enroll and use Bitcoin Ordinals was with a fully synchronized Bitcoin node, which is costly and requires advanced technical competence. However, the Gamma platform has provided a no-code alternative. Here is a quick guide:
Step 1: Install the Xverse Desktop browser extension for Chrome. Connect to Gamma.i® and select your enrollment type.
Step 2: You can enroll an image or text directly on the Bitcoin blockchain. Upload the file you want to enroll. Remember to keep your files under 35 kb for best results. You cannot change or delete it either. Make sure what you upload is exactly as you intend it to be.
Step 3: You can now choose your transaction rate based on network congestion. The higher the rate, the more likely your transcript will be created sooner. However, this can still take a few hours or even several days.
Step 4: You will now need to enter your Ordinal recipient address.
Step 5: To receive your Bitcoin NFT, you will need a new, unused, and Ordinals-compatible Bitcoin taproot recipient address.
Step 6: In your Xverse wallet, navigate to the NFT tab and press the receive Ordinals NFT button.
Step 7: Copy the taproot recipient address and insert it into the recipient address field found in the BTC wallet in Gamma.
