Initially, the developers planned to make the tool only for Liquid, but then decided to implement the decision and the network of bitcoin, adding native support for the Protocol and SegWit format addresses bech32. It is noteworthy that the browser blocks supports and testnet bitcoin.
At the same time, the tool is compatible with Confidential Transactions in Liquid, and also allows you to track the bitcoin addresses associated with transactions in the sidechained.
Add that to enhance the privacy of the users, the developers have added support for Tor.
In addition, Blockstream introduced the client to run full nodes in the network Liquid. The holders of such a node will produce its own assets [Assets Issued], to send/receive them and share Liquid BTC (L-TBC).
