In this article, we'll explain what the Inscriptions Sent Warning is and how it helps you manage your inscriptions (Ordinals, Rare Sats, Runes, etc) safely.
What is the Inscriptions Sent Warning?
The InscriptionsLoss Warning is a feature in the Magic Eden App that alerts users if they have inscriptions (Ordinals, Rare Sats, Runes, etc) in their Bitcoin payment address. These inscriptions can be valuable and can inadvertently be sent along with your Bitcoin when sending Bitcoin.
How does the Inscriptions Sent Warning work?
When you initiate a send transaction from your Bitcoin payment wallet that includes inscriptions, the Magic Eden app will display a warning. This warning serves several purposes:
Confirmation of intent: The warning will ask you to confirm if you want to send the inscriptions, ensuring you are aware of the inscriptions you are about to send.
Reminder of consequences: It will remind you that approving the transaction means you will no longer have access to these collectibles.
Details of the inscriptions: The warning will show the type of inscriptions and the amount included in the transaction.
To prevent accidental spending of inscriptions, it is recommended to keep them in your Ordinals & Runes (Taproot) address. This way, they remain secure and are not at risk of being unintentionally sent or spent.
Transaction options
When faced with the Inscriptions Sent Warning, you have two options:
Reject transaction: You can choose to reject the transaction if you prefer not to send and lose the inscriptions.
Approve transaction: If you understand and accept the consequences, you can confirm and approve the transaction.
