Bitfinex is known to have an innovative approach in the field of digital asset trading. According to bitfinex reviews, the techo-exchange has extensive experience in implementing ground-breaking technologies in its services like Ethfinex, EOSfinex, Liquid, etc. In the Medium post it shared, Bitfinex says,
Unus Sed Leo token holders can convert seamlessly between the Ethereum and EOS protocols with Bitfinex acting as a bridge between the two chains. To do so, simply deposit 1 LEO-ERC20 and withdraw 1 LEO-EOS. When done, Bitfinex adjusts cold wallets/issuances on the different chains depending on the demand to effectively bridge the chains.

Unus Sed Leo was launched earlier this week on Monday, May 20. Prior to this, the exchange had a 10-day pre-sale program, which helped them raise over a billion USD. While talking about the benefits of the dual-protocol, Bitfinex wrote that it would provide flexibility to the Unus Sed Leo token. It further added that the dual-protocol route would help them contribute to support and resources to high-value protocols and blockchain interoperability development.
