<p>UniSat Wallet, the first BRC-20 wallet and marketplace provider, was hit by many double-spend attacks resulting from a vulnerability in its codebase. The attacks occurred just hours after the open-source Chrome extension for<a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/bitcoin-ordinals-create-a-buzz-what-are-they/" data-type="post" data-id="265471"> Bitcoin Ordinals</a> became inaccessible.</p>



<p>UniSat Wallet explained on Twitter that during its testing last week, it had simulated various approaches to double-spend attacks and had made improvements and enhancements to the code. Unfortunately, certain problems were still exposed in the initial public version. According to a preliminary investigation by the extension&#8217;s team, 70 out of 383 transactions were affected.</p>

<p>UniSat Wallet promised to compensate affected users after conducting further investigations over the next few days. It also requested users who believe they were impacted to open a support ticket on its Discord server.</p>



<p>&#8220;Please understand that BRC-20 is still very young, and numerous issues have been identified and resolved in the past 30 days,&#8221; UniSat Wallet tweeted. &#8220;As the first BRC-20 wallet provider and the first marketplace provider, UniSat is constantly facing numerous issues and moving forward with your full support.&#8221;</p>



<p>The BRC-20 token standard is a relatively new and experimental fungible token standard created using Ordinals and Inscriptions, which are saved on the Bitcoin blockchain.</p>
