UniSat Halts Marketplace Following Double-Spend Attacks

• UniSat has shut down its marketplace after experiencing several double-spend attacks.
• A vulnerability in the marketplace’s underlying code affected dozens of transactions.
• The firm is currently conducting an investigation and will compensate all affected users in the coming days.

UniSat Wallet, the open-source browser extension for Bitcoin ordinals, has temporarily shut down its recently launched Inscriptions Marketplace following a large number of double-spend attacks on the platform. The issues were discovered earlier today after the UniSat community raised concerns about the authenticity of the marketplace’s offerings.

UniSat took to Twitter earlier today to share the developments of its Inscriptions Marketplace. According to the firm, a vulnerability in the marketplace’s underlying code led to the double-spend attacks on the platform. After a preliminary investigation, it was found that out of the total 383 transactions, 70 were affected by the attacks.

Due to some existing issues UniSat Marketplace is temporarily not available for accessing.

Sorry for the inconvenience. We'll keep you updated on this.
