On this page Instruction on how to setup Bitcoin Regtest node alongside Ordinals node, and how to perform brc-20 tx inscription and execution.

Setup

Bitcoin Regtest Node

Download the binaries, extract to the bin folder

wget https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-25.0/bitcoin-25.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
tar -xzvf bitcoin-25.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
mv bitcoin-25.0/bin/* ~/bin/

rm -rf bitcoin-25.0  bitcoin-25.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz

Create home dir for bitcoin

mkdir ~/.bitcoin

Initialize configuration file at ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf

daemon=1
server=1
regtest=1
listen=1
txindex=1
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=bitcoinrpc
rpcpassword=pass

Start the node

bitcoind

Verify the node is working

bitcoin-cli getblockcount

Ord Node

Prerequisites:

Rust 1.78+

Clone the Ord repo

git clone https://github.com/ordinals/ord.git

Build the ord binary

cargo build --release

Built binary will be located at {project_root}/target/release/ord

Create config file for the ord server ord.yaml

bitcoin_data_dir: $HOME/.bitcoin/
bitcoin_rpc_password: CCwXB6IxXcYMlBd6w812yfmiahxYBnlR0KLlvMIjgOrGq9eqgj9WmdeTCSDVo4w9
bitcoin_rpc_url: http://localhost:18443
bitcoin_rpc_username: bitcoinrpc
chain: regtest
data_dir: $HOME/.ord/
first_inscription_height: 0
index: $HOME/.ord/index.redb
index_addresses: true
index_cache_size: 1000000000
index_runes: true
index_sats: true
index_spent_sats: true
index_transactions: true
server_password: foo
server_url: http://localhost:80
server_username: bar

Start the ord node

ord --config ord.yaml server --decompress

Create a wallet

ord --config ord.yaml wallet create

Save the provided mnemonic. Your wallet name by default is ord

Create a BTC address for your wallet

ord --config ord.yaml wallet receive

Use this address in the next step

Mine some tokens for your wallet

bitcoin-cli generatetoaddress 110 "{YOUR_ADDR}"

Execution

Now we have everything ready to inscribe and execute brc-20 txs

Deploy BRC-20

Create a json file with a deploy message

{
    "p": "brc-20",
    "op": "deploy",
    "tick": "ordi",
    "max": "1000000",
    "lim": "1000",
    "dec": "18"
}

Create a transaction with the inscription for your wallet

ord --config ../release/ord.yaml wallet inscribe --fee-rate 1 --file deploy.json

Mine new block to include your tx

bitcoin-cli generatetoaddress 1 "{YOUR_ADDR}"

Mint BRC-20

Create a json file with a mint message

{
    "p": "brc-20",
    "op": "mint",
    "tick": "ordi",
    "amt": "1000"
}

Create a transaction with the inscription for your wallet

ord --config ../release/ord.yaml wallet inscribe --fee-rate 1 --file mint.json

Mine new block to include your tx

bitcoin-cli generatetoaddress 1 "{YOUR_ADDR}"

Transfer BRC-20

Create a json file with a transfer message

{
    "p": "brc-20",
    "op": "transfer",
    "tick": "ordi",
    "amt": "100"
}

Create a transaction with the inscription for your wallet

ord --config ../release/ord.yaml wallet inscribe --fee-rate 1 --file transfer.json

Mine new block to include your tx

bitcoin-cli generatetoaddress 1 "{YOUR_ADDR}"
