Inscription ID

An inscription ID is like a unique fingerprint for inscriptions. It's made up of two parts: the transaction ID where the inscription was revealed on-chain, and the index of the output where the inscription was created. An analogy for this is how an NFT on Ethereum can be identified between a combination of the the contract address and the token number.

For example, consider this inscription ID: 6fb976ab49dcec017f1e201e84395983204ae1a7c2abf7ced0a85d692e442799i0.

• The first part is the 64-bit hexadecimal transaction ID of this creation transaction

• The "i0" at the end indicates it was the first output in that transaction.

Inscriptions created in batches (i.e. creating multiple inscriptions in the same transaction) will have the end of their ID mirror the index of where that inscription was in the batch. So for example, the second, third, and fourth inscription in a batch will have the same transaction ID but will end in i1, i2, and i3, respectively.
