- Providing enhanced flexibility and ease of use for Unus Sed Leo token holders
- Contributing support and resources to protocols which we have identified as highly valuable
- Contributing to developments focused around blockchain interoperability

At the time of its deployment, Unus Sed Leo issued 660 million Ethereum-based tokens together with 340 million EOS-based tokens. Token holders can seamlessly convert between the Ethereum and EOS protocols with Bitfinex acting as a bridge between the two chains.

This launch has been a unique one for Bitfinex it is similar to pushing to achieve more technical excellence.
Bitfinex also looks forward to launch the token on the Blockstream Liquid Network. The launch of the token was followed by a successful investment of $ 1 Billion raised in over a week.
