You Received an Inscription 🎉
Someone airdropped a Bitcoin inscription to your wallet and sent you a claim link. Here’s what that means — and what to do. It takes about a minute.
What you got
An inscription: a piece of media written directly onto Bitcoin itself and delivered into your wallet. It is not a token IOU or a voucher — it already lives on sats you control, permanently. Nobody can take it back, and you don’t need to do anything to keep it.
So why “claim” it?
Claiming just proves the wallet is yours and tells the sender you got it. It doesn’t move anything, doesn’t cost anything, and doesn’t need any BTC in your wallet.
How to claim
- Open the claim link you were given — it works fine on your phone.
- Connect your wallet — tap Connect and pick UniSat or Xverse. Use the wallet that received the drop.
- Sign the message — your wallet shows a one-time message to sign. This is a signature, not a transaction: zero fee, nothing leaves your wallet, nothing to approve on-chain.
- Done — the page confirms the inscription is yours.
Is signing safe?
Yes. The signature (a Bitcoin standard called BIP-322) only proves you control the address — it cannot spend your funds or grant any access. The claim page will never ask for your seed phrase or private key. If anything asks for those, close it: it’s not us.
“Wallet not in this campaign”?
- Make sure you connected the same wallet/address that received the inscription (check the address the sender used).
- Some wallets hold several addresses — try the one the drop was sent to.
- The campaign’s claim window may have closed — check with whoever sent the link.
Verified wallets
Signing once also verifies that wallet on Skrybit — if you make an account, the verified wallet is already attached to it, and future claims to the same wallet are instant. More in Wallets & Accounts.
