OC Pledge

Create a pledge

Write the claim, set the rule that decides it, and bond your stake. Your wallet signs once; nothing leaves this tab until you publish.

Step 1: Who swears

The Bitcoin address that signs. Your wallet must control it.

Step 2: The claim

One line, up to 512 bytes: what you will do, and by when.

Step 3: How it resolves

A rule anyone can run against public state. The mechanism says where to look; the query says what must be true.

One line, up to 1024 bytes. Edit the example.

Step 4: When

When the rule is run, and when an unresolved pledge expires.

A future Bitcoin block height.

After this, an unresolved pledge counts as expired.

Step 5: The bond

An OC Attest attestation backs the pledge. Anyone can re-check it against the chain. Your coins never move.

64 hex characters. Need one? Make it on attest.ochk.io (opens in a new tab).

Bonded when the pledge is checked.

Step 6: Counterparty and dispute

Optional. A counterparty makes the pledge two-sided; a dispute mechanism settles a contested outcome.

Leave it empty for a one-sided pledge.

Step 7: Sign it

Fill in who swears, the claim and the bond first.
