BRC-20 Update To Shield BTC Users Against Theft
Domo, the creator of the BRC-20 token standard, has introduced a proposal called “Fraction” to improve user security in the Bitcoin blockchain community.
The proposal aims to address vulnerabilities in the current BRC-20 framework, which allows for the creation and transfer of inscriptions without restriction, exposing users to potential exploitation. The proposal advocates for stringent transfer validity requirements to erect barriers that would impede malicious actors from inflicting harm on users.
The proposal details how users can apply the code to secure addresses holding their assets, with minimal disruption in their usual interactions.
BRC-20 tokens have introduced a suite of functionalities to the Bitcoin network, fostering a dynamic ecosystem. The “Fraction” proposal is expected to rekindle interest in these digital assets, which had seen a decline following excitement over ordinal inscriptions.
The potential updates promise to revitalize the landscape and maintain Bitcoin’s competitive edge in the digital collectibles field. As the proposal gains support and moves towards implementation, the Bitcoin community watches with anticipation, ready to embrace a more secure and robust framework for BRC-20 tokens.
