Before diving into PizzaSwap, it's crucial to explore its origins in the BRC-20 Swap on the Bitcoin Mainnet. As a pivotal part of UniSat's mission to advance the BRC-20 protocol, we launched the BRC-20 Swap alpha on Bitcoin's mainnet in November 2023.
Though unforeseen challenges limited the full deployment of the Bitcoin swap, the lessons learned were instrumental in creating PizzaSwap—a mirrored version of the BRC-20 swap module, now operational on Fractal Bitcoin, a Bitcoin extension with near-identical functionality.
We remain dedicated to refining PizzaSwap, ensuring it stays secure, efficient, and user-friendly. Below is the evolution of BRC-20 Swap and PizzaSwap, leading up to our 2025 roadmap.
