Basic Knowledge

1. What is Atomicals?

The Atomicals Protocol is designed for UTXO blockchains like Bitcoin to facilitate the minting, transferring, and updating of digital objects, commonly known as non-fungible tokens (NFTs). An Atomical, also referred to as an "atom," represents a method for managing the lifecycle of digital objects through a chain of ownership, governed by a set of straightforward rules.

1. What is Wizz.wallet?

Wizz Wallet is a mobile Bitcoin wallet that aims to provide a comprehensive solution for managing various digital assets within the Atomicals ecosystem. It allows users to manage their Bitcoin, ARC-20, Realm, and NFT assets, facilitating transfers and providing additional features such as batch transactions and integration with browsers.

1. What is Wizz Cash?

Wizz.cash is a web wallet designed for Atomicals mining, managing various digital assets, including ARC-20 tokens, Realms, and NFTs. It offers features such as viewing balances, sending and receiving assets, and integrating with the Wizz wallet extension for enhanced functionality.

It aims to provide a user-friendly interface for users to control their assets efficiently and securely. Additionally, it ensures the safety of transfers by identifying specific assets to prevent them from being mistakenly used as transaction fees.

1. What is the difference between M44_P2TR and M86_P2TR?

There is not much difference in usage; M44_P2TR is a format specific to the Atomicals protocol.

1. What is bitwork?

Bitwork refers to a computational effort or work required to meet certain criteria set by a blockchain or cryptographic system, which can be assumed as the mining difficulty.

1. What's the difference between bitworkc and bitworkr?

The main difference is in their application to different stages of the transaction process, with each stage requiring proof of computational work to mitigate against potential abuses and to ensure participants are genuinely committed to their actions on the network.

• bitworkc is the minting difficulty set for commit transactions. A commit transaction is the initial phase in a two-step process, where a participant submits a hashed version of their transaction or decision without revealing the actual information. The bitworkc requirement ensures that the participant has expended some computational effort to submit this commit transaction, helping secure the network against spam or frivolous submissions.

• bitworkr is the minting difficulty set for reveal transactions. After the commit phase, the reveal transaction is where the information or decision is disclosed, matching the previously submitted hash. The bitworkr requirement ensures that revealing the information also requires computational work, further contributing to the security and integrity of the process.

1. What's the difference between commit tx andreveal tx?

In the context of commit and reveal transactions, bitwork would involve solving cryptographic puzzles or performing specific computational tasks to validate the transactions. This process ensures the security and integrity of the transaction process, preventing spam and ensuring that participants expend a certain amount of computational resources, thereby demonstrating proof of work.
