Bitcoin wallet service provider UniSatUniSat has launched Hexa, a new hybrid trading engine, to enhance its users’ trading experience.
In its announcement on February 19, the DeFi protocol stated that Hexa is designed to merge the security of decentralized exchanges with the seamless user experience of centralized platforms, offering traders a more efficient and secure way to trade.
According to UniSats, Hexa is powered by Fractal Bitcoin, a blockchain infrastructure designed to expand block space by 20 times and reduce confirmation times to 30 seconds, significantly improving transaction speed and efficiency.
Hexa supports a wide range of assets, including BRC-20 tokens, Runes, Taproot Assets, and native stablecoins. UniSat stated that the feature is a protocol-agnostic platform, and thus, it imposes no restrictions on asset types, ensuring broad compatibility for traders. Users can also access the top 100 Bitcoin assets available on the UniSat marketplace, expanding their investment options.
The platform also noted that every transaction is recorded on the blockchain for full verifiability, and a real-time order book in the mempool is maintained to ensure transparency and security of trading activities.
Meanwhile, this launch aligns with UniSat’s broader mission to enhance the usability and liquidity of Bitcoin assets. On February 14, the protocol introduced a trustless cross-chain swap feature, enabling FB-to-BTC swaps through DeTrading’s atomic swap protocol. This system ensures self-custody with time-locked protection, executing trades only when both parties meet their terms. It also revamped its Fractal Marketplace, improving navigation for a more intuitive experience, and a new Ranking page consolidates sections for BRC-20, Runes, and CAT20, while an updated BRC-20 page now displays ticker market cap information.
Meanwhile, the protocol had earlier announced that it is developing a BRC-20 swap module for the Bitcoin mainnet. It stated that the feature would be ready for public launch completion in 2025 and help to expand its users’ trading options further.
