FAQ

Bera Inscription's FAQ provides essential insights into its secure and decentralized protocol, addressing common questions about trustlessness, decentralization, and the origins of the platform

Is BeraInscriptions secure and trustless?

Certainly! The BeraInscriptions protocol offers a secure and trustless experience, eliminating the need to rely on external parties. While many members of the Bera community find it convenient to trust an indexer, akin to the Ethereum community's reliance on Etherscan, users can always manually rebuild and verify the indexer data.

Is BeraInscriptions decentralized?

Absolutely, BeraInscriptions reinterpret existing Bera data, inherently decentralized. Users require no one's permission to utilize BeraInscriptions, and no one can prohibit its use. In contrast, NFTs often depend on data stored in specific contracts controlled by a single entity.

Does relying on off-chain indexers as the source of truth make BeraInscriptions centralized?

BeraInscriptions does not hinge on off-chain indexers as the source of truth any more than Bera relies on BeraScan. Both types of indexers are tools, and if they report data inconsistent with protocol rules, they should be rectified. The essence of decentralization lies in the ability for all protocol participants to equally discover and verify these types of bugs.
