1. What are EVM Inscriptions?

EVM Inscriptions, also known as Ethscriptions are similar to Bitcoin's Ordinals protocol. This allows you to record various files on the Ethereum mainnet as long as the file size doesn't exceed 96 KB. This protocol essentially involves adding memo information, in hexadecimal characters, within transactions completed on the blockchain. As a result, the information you recorded can't be changed and is protected by the Ethereum network's security features.

2. How do I use EVM Inscriptions?

  1. You can create an inscription via below entry point
