How to convert your NAT deployment into a UNAT (Reinscription Guide)

Properly reinscribe your deployment to support the UNAT standard

If you have already deployed a Non-Arbitrary Token and you want to attach content such as art for every mint inscription that already exists, you're in luck. The following guide will show you how to do this in just 3 simple steps.

A typical deployment of an NAT looks like the following:

{
"p": "tap",
"op": "dmt-deploy",
"elem": "63b5bd2e28c043c4812981718e65d202ab8f68c0f6a1834d9ebea49d8fac7e62i0",
"tick": "nat",
"dt": "n"
}

A UNAT deployment looks like this:

{
"p": "tap",
"op": "dmt-deploy",
"elem": "63b5bd2e28c043c4812981718e65d202ab8f68c0f6a1834d9ebea49d8fac7e62i0",
"tick": "nat",
"dt": "n",
"id": "61756c3e2dbcfbdb889f7176014e583e94800721a7379a616ec2c031563a5000i0"
}

The only thing that's missing from the original inscription is the following:

"id": "61756c3e2dbcfbdb889f7176014e583e94800721a7379a616ec2c031563a5000i0"

To add this line into the deployment JSON, you need to reinscribe on top of your original deployment inscription with a new JSON structure that includes the "id" attribute within the JSON.

Step 1 - Inscribe your generative art

Visit Mscribe.io or any other text inscription site and inscribe your script as text.

Step 2 - Prepare your JSON for reinscription

Grab the inscription ID of your art script from step 1 and add that into a new JSON structure that you'll use to reinscribe your original deployment.

"id": "61756c3e2dbcfbdb889f7176014e583e94800721a7379a616ec2c031563a5000i0"

Your reinscription JSON should look like this:

{
"p": "tap",
"op": "dmt-deploy",
"elem": "63b5bd2e28c043c4812981718e65d202ab8f68c0f6a1834d9ebea49d8fac7e62i0",
"tick": "nat",
"dt": "n",
"id": "61756c3e2dbcfbdb889f7176014e583e94800721a7379a616ec2c031563a5000i0"
}

Do not forget the extra " , " added to the 2nd to last line of your JSON, otherwise the JSON is not valid.

Step 3 - Reinscribe your new JSON deployment

To complete the process, you'll need to reinscribe your old JSON deployment with the updated JSON that includes the "id" attribute. This is a 2 transaction process where you'll pay the inscription fee to process a reinscription. The 2nd part is where you'll send the original deployment inscription to the address provided by Chisel.xyz.

Visit Chisel.xyz and follow the diagram below to reinscribe your deployment

You'll be taken to the payments page where you can use Unisat or Xverse wallet to pay the reinscription fee.

Make sure your destination address is correct or you may lose your original deployment inscription.

The final step to reinscribing after the first transaction clears is to send the original deployment inscription to the address provided by Chisel.xyz.

Successful reinscription

A successful reinscription looks like the following:
