Bitcoin wallet UniSat has rolled out Hexa, a hybrid trading engine. Hexa aims to offer a seamless trading experience while ensuring self-custody.
Hexa merges the self-custody feature of a decentralized exchange with the user-friendly interface of a centralized exchange. It was launched on February 19 with the goal of offering a secure and smooth trading experience.
Hexa’s Features and Supported Assets
Hexa allows users to trade a variety of Bitcoin (BTC) assets, including BRC-20 tokens, Runes, Taproot Assets, and native stablecoins. The platform’s protocol-agnostic nature enables it to support a myriad of asset types without any limitations. It also offers users access to the top 100 Bitcoin assets on the UniSat marketplace.
Security and transparency are the main features of Hexa. The platform records every transaction on the blockchain and maintains a comprehensive order book in the mempool for verifiability. Furthermore, UniSat’s permissionless access allows for unrestricted operations.
Hexa’s Infrastructure and Future Plans
Hexa is built on Fractal Bitcoin, a blockchain infrastructure designed to enhance trading performance. As per UniSat, this technology boosts block space by 20 times and reduces confirmation times to 30 seconds, significantly improving transaction speed and efficiency.
The launch of Hexa is part of UniSat’s larger strategy to enhance the usability and liquidity of Bitcoin assets. The firm is also developing a BRC-20 swap module for the Bitcoin mainnet, which is expected to be completed in 2025, to offer users more trading choices.
UniSat is expanding its ecosystem by integrating with additional wallets and services. Users can now trade and inscribe Bitcoin assets by linking UniSat to platforms like Magic Eden, Phantom, OKX, and Xverse. Furthermore, UniSat’s collaboration with MoonPay allows users to buy Bitcoin directly from the UniSat user interface.
