About ordinal inscription tracking
Ordinal inscriptions take time.
Because inscriptions settle onto Bitcoin, and each Bitcoin block occurs every 10 minutes on average, there is a minimum average time you can expect before receiving your inscription. Two sequential transactions must occur:
- Your payment must be sent/received for the ordinal inscription
- Our servers must broadcast the inscription transaction directly to your ordinal receipt address.
Each of these steps also requires a Bitcoin miner to include your transaction, specifically, in a block. Given 10 minute average block times, the average minimum time you could expect to receive an ordinal inscription — in lab conditions — is roughly 30 minutes.
However, given high network demand and differences in fee rates chosen, it's likely your transaction(s) are not included in the very next block. In reality, an average minimum time to receive an ordinal inscription is likely around 60-90 minutes, though this can vary significantly. It is not unreasonable for a lower fee ordinal inscription to not be received for up to 48 hours. Stated simply once again: ordinal inscriptions take time.
