A planned update of the Bitcoin Ordinals protocol by the UniSat BRC-20 marketplace is unsafe and is effectively a fork of the BRC-20 protocol, asserted BRC-20 standard creator Domo on Tuesday, who said that the proposed plan could also lead to bugs and will give the company too much control.
“Recognizing the serious implications and valuations involved,” the pseudonymous Bitcoin developer wrote on Twitter, “I believe rushing these updates in BRC-20 is reckless, disregards their peer indexers, and could potentially harm the broader community of BRC-20 users.”
Domo’s comments came in response to a tweet by UniSat regarding its plans for the upcoming Ordinals update.
“UniSat will follow the Ordinals Jubilee upgrade to confirm that BRC-20 is still on Ordinals without splitting into an isolated protocol,” the company said on Twitter, adding that a whitepaper is coming on January 31.
Launched in April 2023, UniSat is the company behind the Google Chrome extension and wallet of the same name, which provides solutions for managing BRC-20 tokens on the Bitcoin blockchain.
