What is TimeCapsule BTC?

How It Works
TimeCapsule BTC utilizes Bitcoin's native timelock features to create transactions that can only be spent after a certain date. The process is secure and transparent, with your Bitcoin locked directly on the blockchain until the specified unlock date arrives.
- Connect your wallet - Link your preferred Bitcoin wallet to get started
- Set a timelock date - Choose when your Bitcoin will become accessible
- Add Bitcoin - Specify the amount you want to timelock
- Add a custom inscription - Optionally include a message or image that will be permanently inscribed into the Bitcoin blockchain
- Create your capsule - Finalize your time-locked gift with your Bitcoin and inscription (if added) set to unlock on the same day
Ordinal Inscriptions
Make your timelock truly special by adding a permanent message or image that will be inscribed on the Bitcoin blockchain forever. These inscriptions become a part of your timelock and will be revealed alongside your Bitcoin on the unlock day.
- Custom messages - Include personal notes, wisdom, or future predictions
- Digital artwork - Attach images that will be inscribed as Bitcoin Ordinals
- Memorable cards - Design custom cards for special occasions
