- Domo is against UniSat splitting its BRC-20 because of hurried updates.
- UniSat intends to remain on the same blockchain but divide BRC-20 assets.
Domo, the expert behind the Bitcoin BRC-20 token standard, stated his vehement objection to an impending UniSat Wallet fork yesterday. The hastily updated BRC-20 standard and its possible effects on users have sparked a dispute in the cryptocurrency community, with Domo voicing strong concerns.
Domo expressed his concerns about the suggested modifications to the BRC-20 standard in a social media statement. He denounced the updates’ carelessness and pointed out how little regard they showed for peer indexers. The main worry for Domo is the possible impact that these changes can bring to the larger BRC-20 user group.
Furthermore, Domo brought attention to several recent problems about the Ordinals 0.8 and 0.9 releases, which emphasizes how difficult it is becoming to include new functionality into the BRC-20 standard. He maintained that without a strong infrastructure for coordination, testing, and validation, these changes should not be put into effect.
Furthermore, Domo made a startling accusation, implying that UniSat’s plan to split might be a component of a larger plot to take over the BRC-20 protocol.
UniSat Wallet explains Proposal
UniSat Wallet explained that their suggested action was a split rather than a fork in response to Domo’s concerns. By generating two sets of assets with distinct regulations that yet reside on the same physical blockchain, the split seeks to isolate BRC-20 version 0.9 assets from the forthcoming Ordinals Jubilee upgrade.
The community was given the assurance by UniSat developers that they would actively monitor the Ordinals Jubilee upgrade to make sure BRC-20 stayed on Ordinals and did not split into an autonomous protocol. In addition, they hinted that a fresh white paper outlining protocol improvements would be released on January 31st, providing insight into their future intentions.
Within the Bitcoin ecosystem, BRC-20 tokens have become extremely popular due to their innovative technological development. The Bitcoin Ordinals system, which gives each satoshi—the smallest unit of Bitcoin—a unique number—lays the groundwork for this breakthrough. Using this numbered system, assets on the Bitcoin blockchain may be precisely tracked and transferred.
In January 2023, developer Casey Rodarmor unveiled the Bitcoin Ordinals system. This mechanism was the source of inspiration for Domo when he went on to create the BRC-20 token standard in March 2023. The total market capitalization of BRC-20 tokens is an impressive $1.76 billion currently.
