Overview

KNS Inscription Mechanism

KNS uses a two-step "Commit-Reveal Scheme" to embed data into the Kaspa network:

Commit Transaction: A hashed "Redeem Script" is created and stored on-chain, serving as a placeholder for the data.

Reveal Transaction: The data is revealed by spending the output of the commit transaction, making the content visible on-chain.

The mechanism supports structured "envelopes" to encapsulate data, ensuring compatibility and ease of retrieval. For KNS-specific data, the identifier "kns" is included in the envelope.

This process enables secure and organized insertion of arbitrary data into the Kaspa network.
