What is Inscriptions?
Inscriptions refer to data—text, images, or code—written directly onto individual satoshis or similar smallest-unit tokens via protocols like Ordinals on Bitcoin, creating unique, non-fungible digital artifacts natively on a base blockchain rather than through a separate smart-contract token standard. This method has since been replicated on other chains, such as Litecoin, Dogecoin, and Avalanche, giving rise to associated tokens and fungible token standards like BRC-20 that piggyback on the inscription mechanism to represent transferable balances. The category encompasses both the underlying protocol infrastructure and the tokens or collectibles created through it, valued according to inscription number, rarity, and on-chain provenance.

How CryptoUmmah screens Inscriptions coins
As with every category we track, coins here are screened individually against our 27-point methodology across the three core pillars — riba (interest), gharar (uncertainty), and maysir (speculation/gambling) — rather than being judged by category label alone. Two coins sharing this tag can land on very different verdicts depending on their specific tokenomics, revenue model, and governance structure. Across the 7 Inscriptions coins we've screened, the average Shariah compliance score sits at 49.9/100, with 0% classified Halal, 43% Mashbooh, and 57% Haram.
