Building Your Audience
The audience is the set of Bitcoin addresses that will receive your inscriptions. Skrybit gives you two ways to build it — on-chain cohorts and manual targets — and you can combine both in one campaign.
Option 1: Cohorts (audience from on-chain behavior)
A cohort is a saved audience derived from real Bitcoin activity. Skrybit indexes the chain itself (ordinals, BRC-20, runes activity) and lets you target wallets by what they actually do:
- Prebuilt cohorts — ready-made segments like ordinals whales or recently active traders. On mainnet these are large, live segments (hundreds of thousands of wallets), refreshed from chain data.
- Custom cohorts — build your own from criteria (activity type, volume, recency, holdings), preview the size before saving, then save it under a name for reuse.
- Enrichment — optionally attach trader profiles, labels, and social handles to a cohort’s wallets so you can slice the audience further and report on who you reached.
Cohorts are network-scoped: a mainnet cohort targets mainnet wallets, a testnet4 cohort targets testnet4 wallets. Cohorts can be refreshed to pick up new chain activity before launch.
Workflow
- Preview — define criteria and see the audience size instantly.
- Build — save the cohort under a key when the size looks right.
- Enrich (optional) — attach profiles/labels for reporting.
- Attach — create the campaign from the cohort (or add it to one).
Option 2: Manual targets
Already know exactly who should receive the drop? Add addresses directly to the campaign as manual targets — paste a list of addresses (a snapshot from your community, an allowlist, partner wallets). Manual targets and cohorts coexist on the same campaign.
Sizing matters
Your audience size × collection items (per your distribution mode) is the inscription count — the single biggest factor in campaign cost. Preview cohort sizes and prune your audience before estimating, not after funding.
