Today, Solana co-foundertoly(Anatoly Yakovenko) retweeted a neos inscription.
So, how to cast inscriptions on the NEON chain? This is a question that many ordinary investors are concerned about. Odaily compiled a tutorial for this:
1. Add network
NEON is the EVM compatibility layer project for Solana Networks. It should be noted that there is a public chain called NEO with a similar name, which is not the same project as this network, so do not confuse it.
NEON official website:https://neonevm.org/
NEON is EVM compatible, so there is no need to download an additional wallet. The network can be accessed using MetaMask or other major wallets.
RPC information:
ChainID：245022934
Currency：NEON
RPC URL: https://neon-proxy-mainnet.solana.p2p.org or https://neon-mainnet.everstake.one
Blockchain browser:https://neonscan.org
2. Transfer gas
NEON is a Solana compatibility layer network, but it does not support the use of SOL as a gas token. Instead, use NEON to pay for gas.
Users need to purchase NEON from the mainstream Solana network DEX.
Take Jupiter as an example:
Enter Jupiter, connect your Solana wallet, and buy NEON.
After receiving your NEON, prepare to cross-chain it from the Solana mainnet to the NEON compatibility layer.
NEON official cross-chain bridge:https://neonpass.live/
Click on the left and right sides of the webpage to connect your Solana wallet and EVM wallet.
Once connected, select the NEON token. After confirming that there is no problem, click Transfer to cross-chain.
After the cross-chain is completed, you can check your NEON tokens in the metamask.
3. Let the fight begin!
The inscription data is as follows:
{"p":"nrc-20","op":"mint","tick":"neos","amt":"1000"}
It should be noted that the inscription data,perhapsShould include data:, characters. Unfortunately, we do not yet know the detailed format of this inscription.
Fortunately, we can still use hexadecimal strings to engrave directly without having to worry about what the data is before it is encoded in hexadecimal.
The founder of the inscription project personally demonstrated how to make this inscription for us.The inscription is as follows:
7b202270223a20226e72632d3230222c20226f70223a20226465706c6f79222c20227469636b223a20226e656f73222c20226d6178223a20223231303030303030222c20226c696d223a20223130303022207d
Use the wallet to initiate a transfer, transfer 0 NEON to yourself, and enter the above string in Hex data.
Initiate a transfer, pay gas, and an inscription is successfully created.
The example provided by the founder of Inscription is as follows:

neon inscription, is it reliable?
As mentioned above, we do not yet know the exact format of the inscriptional data. This is because the founder has not announced detailed format standards. And the network currently has no inscription indexer at all.
Shardul Mahadik, the initiator of the project, said bluntly on Twitter:
Disclaimer: There is no indexer yet. We may be about to build one on EVM ink...we are setting the standard.
Inscriptions were born, but there was no standard format, no documentation, no indexer.
The reliability of this project is a little funny...
Under the developers Twitter, some users are reminding the developer that his demonstration inscription is in an incorrect format. (due to missing data:,) and noted that the development of the engraved paradigm has caused a permanent fork of neos.
In the future, which one will be included in the index? What format of inscription is the correct inscription?
Odaily reminds readers,Inscriptions are risky，Gas is also money。
