Just a week before this announcement, UniSat Wallet launched the industry’s first-ever Ordinals native swap, known as the BRC-20 swap. This innovative feature allows users to deploy new trading pairs and add liquidity to the Swap as they can deploy and mint a classic BRC-20. The UniSat team expressed their enthusiasm in a tweet, stating that they have been receiving proposals from various groups and individuals eager to extend the capabilities of BRC-20.

Star Xu Questions Centralized Swap Validity

However, Star Xu, the CEO of OKX, raised concerns about whether this feature is a centralized swap. He emphasized that the current Bitcoin network needs more support for smart contracts, making it challenging to achieve a fully decentralized DEX Swap. Xu highlighted the significant risks posed by centralized swaps, exchanges, and bridges in various jurisdictions that need proper compliance controls, such as KYC and AML.

Conclusion

Wrapping up, the suggested settlements put forth by Celsius Network provide a beacon of optimism for its clientele. The successful conclusion of the bankruptcy proceedings could herald a fresh era for the crypto lending platform and its patrons. Nonetheless, the journey toward resurgence remains extensive and laden with obstacles.
