ChainCatcher news, UniSat CEO Lorenzo posted on the X platform that over the past year, the decentralization of BRC-20 has been higher than expected. Currently, the community's various views on UniSat's so-called influence in the BRC-20 ecosystem can be temporarily set aside, focusing solely on the technical development and impact of BRC-20. As an index service provider, UniSat's actual impact on the BRC-20 standard can be considered negligible.Over the past year, UniSat's understanding of this has gradually changed, investing a lot of effort to advance the standard through proposals and iterations. However, as observed over the past 12 months, it has proven that UniSat's progress in standardization has been both slow and challenging.

ChainCatcher message, UniSat has released PizzaSwap Pre-Launch update notes on platform X, including:Fractal's brc-20 will recognize PizzaSwap module events, and if the index does not handle the related inscription events, it may lead to inconsistencies between the index and the results;It is strongly recommended that platforms supporting brc-20 on Fractal temporarily disable the brc-20 market and related transfer functions during the PizzaSwap launch. Once the inscription event integration is complete and the index results are aligned, these functions can be re-enabled;Proposed solution: Other indexing service providers should interact with withdrawal inscription events, and relevant APIs can be used to determine whether the withdrawal inscriptions are valid.ChainCatcher previously reported, according to the official announcement, UniSat stated that PizzaSwap will go live on Fractal on September 30, supporting assets bridged through Bool Bridge and SimpleBridge. On September 25, UniSat will open source the brc-20 indexing implementation on Fractal.

ChainCatcher news, Fractal Bitcoin stated on social media that it has open-sourced the Fractal-based BRC-20 protocol. Following the open-source release of Ordinals on September 14, the Fractal-based implementation of the brc-20 protocol has now been released. This release aims to help developers easily analyze and build applications related to brc-20.Open-source implementations based on Ordinals, brc-20, and other protocols will continue to be released in the future, such as the Runes protocol indexing component, gradually creating a developer-friendly source code framework.

ChainCatcher message, the BRC-20 hard fork led by the BRC-100 protocol, was successfully activated at Bitcoin mainnet block #859490. BRC-20 asset holders have already obtained 1:1 forked assets under the BRC-100 protocol, which can be queried, listed, and traded on the BRC-100 Marketplace and indexed at inbrc.org. The BRC-100 protocol is a scalable DeFi protocol based on Ordinals. Mikael, the founder of the BRC-100 protocol, stated: "This BRC-20 fork is the first meta-protocol fork, aimed at reactivating the inscription ecosystem."

ChainCatcher news, according to official sources, UniSat has announced the official launch of the BRC-20 minting service on the Fractal Bitcoin testnet, an extension network for Bitcoin.To avoid conflicts with existing assets on the Bitcoin mainnet, the rules for BRC-20 on Fractal have been specifically customized. The token code names on this public testnet will be limited to 6 - 12 bytes. Token codes with 4 or 5 characters are not allowed, as they are already in use on the mainnet. For BRC-20 on Fractal, token code names can include letters (both uppercase and lowercase: az/AZ), numbers (0-9), and underscores (_). A total of 63 different characters are available for use. All BRC-20 assets on Fractal support fair issuance and self-issuance.

ChainCatcher news, Bitmap Tech, the parent company of the Bitcoin Layer2 scaling solution Merlin Chain, announced on platform X that Merlin Chain has opened the option to unstake BTC. 1. If users have not previously claimed M-BTC, they can directly cross back BTC to Layer 1. After paying the gas fee, BTC will arrive at the Layer 1 BTC wallet in 3 days, or they can cross back BTC to their Layer 2 wallet without paying gas, which will take about 24 hours to reach the Layer 2 wallet address. If users have previously claimed M-BTC, they can now swap M-BTC for BTC at a 1:1 ratio, and then continue trading or use a cross-chain bridge to return to Layer 1. Users need to have sufficient gas in their wallets to complete this operation. Please note that the Merlin AA wallet is currently very congested, so please perform the swap during non-peak hours.In addition, some dApps require M-BTC to participate, and temporarily BTC cannot be swapped back to M-BTC, so users may consider keeping M-BTC for a while. The 1:1 swap of M-BTC to BTC will exist long-term. Once the majority of the BTC unstaking is processed, Merlin Chain will subsequently open the unstaking for BRC-20. Then, the unstaking for NFTs will follow. If users wish to quickly sell NFTs, they can trade on NFT markets like Unicross, where the trading volume has exceeded $50,000 in the past 12 hours. Merlin stated: "The unstaking of Merlin assets is proceeding effectively and safely. Please be patient and pay attention to the gas on Layer 1/2 chains."
