    style E fill:#4ecdc4,stroke:#fff,color:#fff

Step-by-Step Process

1. Prepare Your Content

• Image: PNG, JPEG, GIF, SVG, HTML supported - cost is the main constraint
• Size: Keep under 24KB for reasonable fees
• Format: Optimize for permanent storage

2. Choose Your Method

Web Interface (Recommended)

1. Visit stampchain.io/create
2. Upload your image
3. Connect wallet and pay network fee
4. Your stamp is created when your transaction is confirmed on Bitcoin

SDK Integration

import { TxBuilder } from '@btc-stamps/tx-builder';

const txBuilder = new TxBuilder({ network: 'mainnet' });

const result = await txBuilder.createStamp({
  imageData: imageBuffer,
  fromAddress: 'your-address',
  feeRate: 20
});

3. Transaction Flow

    TxBuilder->>TxBuilder: Optimize & encode data
    TxBuilder->>Bitcoin: Create transaction
    Bitcoin->>Bitcoin: Confirm in block
    Bitcoin-->>You: Permanent stamp created!

4. Verify Your Creation

Once confirmed on Bitcoin, your stamp is:

• ✅ Permanent - Stored forever on Bitcoin
• ✅ Verifiable - Cryptographically authentic
• ✅ Accessible - Viewable on stamp explorers
• ✅ Tradeable - Can be transferred to others
