Key Highlights:
- UniSat reaffirmed its long-term commitment to building on the Bitcoin mainnet, continuing investments in Ordinals, Runes, and BRC-20 infrastructure despite market shifts.
- The platform will introduce a 90-day zero-fee policy on its marketplace and expand early access to UniHexa, its on-chain exchange for Bitcoin-native assets.
- UniSat also plans technical upgrades, including BRC-20 single-step transfers, a new enterprise-grade API, and participation in the Fractal indexing service to reinvest value back into its ecosystem.
UniSat has shared new upgrades and policy changes for strengthening its position within the Bitcoin mainnet ecosystem, even as some competitors scale back their presence. The announcement comes in after recent developments across the Bitcoin NFT and token markets, which includes plans by Magic Eden to close its Bitcoin and EVM marketplaces.
UniSat said its strategy mostly focuses on long-term infrastructure development for Ordinals, Runes, and BRC-20 assets. The team framed the update as a continuation of its core mission to expand on-chain utility and also improve accessibility for users and developers building directly on Bitcoin.
Unisat Plans Bitcoin Mainnet With New Infra
The firm has talked about a temporary reduction in fees on the UniSat Marketplace. Beginning March 1, 2026, the platform will introduce a 90-day, platform-wide zero service fee policy. The initiative applies to all supported Bitcoin mainnet assets, including Ordinals inscriptions, Runes tokens, and BRC-20 tokens. According to the team, the move is designed to lower entry barriers for traders and creators and encourage more active participation across the ecosystem.

At the same time, UniSat is expanding access to UniHexa, its unified on-chain exchange service that supports both BRC-20 and Runes trading. The company said it will widen the current invitation-only access in the coming week. Six Bitcoin-based assets will be listed in the early phase, split between three Runes tokens and three BRC-20 tickers. The final selection will incorporate community suggestions, reflecting the project’s intent to build with direct user input.
UniHexa is positioned as a composable and transparent trading layer operating natively on Bitcoin. The exchange will simplify asset swaps and improve efficiency by handling transactions directly on-chain. By expanding the early access program, UniSat aims to accelerate adoption and gather feedback before a broader public rollout.
The company is also preparing technical discussions around single-step transfers for BRC-20 tokens on the Bitcoin mainnet. The UniSat engineering team plans to publish a detailed proposal with possible optimizations and design changes. The objective is to streamline token transfers and reduce complexity in BRC-20 infrastructure, an area that many developers consider still in its early stages.
Developer tools are also receiving an upgrade. UniSat said its API will soon evolve into a full-featured MCP system capable of delivering enterprise-grade on-chain data. The upgraded interface is intended to support automated workflows, intelligent agents, and advanced analytics for Bitcoin-native applications. The company believes that stronger developer infrastructure is critical for sustained ecosystem growth and broader innovation.
Alongside product upgrades, UniSat announced plans to participate in the Fractal Standard Indexing Service, known as FIP-101, which is scheduled to launch in the second quarter of the year. The firm intends to acquire at least 500,000 FB tokens in phases from the market to support index staking. The first phase of deployment is expected to be completed within 15 days.
The purchased tokens will be used for long-term staking within the index service. UniSat said all rewards generated from this participation will be reinvested back into its product ecosystem, including incentives for marketplace traders and early UniHexa users. The approach reflects a model where platform-generated value is cycled back into user activity rather than extracted.
The company also plans to host a public discussion session on social platform X to outline progress and gather feedback from the community. Topics will include product development on the Bitcoin mainnet, UniHexa’s broader launch plans, and ongoing work on the Fractal indexing framework.
