Unichain: A Layer 2 Network Born for DeFi
Reasons to Participate
On October 10 last year, Uniswap announced plans to build an L2 on Ethereum. This solution is built using Optimism's OP Stack and is named Unichain, aimed at addressing the limitations currently faced by DeFi, namely cost, speed, and interoperability, unlocking new markets and use cases with faster, cheaper transactions and better cross-chain liquidity. Uniswap Labs CEO Hayden Adams stated, "After years of building and scaling DeFi products, we have seen where blockchain needs improvement and what is required to continue advancing the Ethereum roadmap. Unichain will provide the speed and cost savings achieved by L2, better cross-chain liquidity acquisition, and be more decentralized."
On February 11, Uniswap Labs announced that the Layer 2 network Unichain mainnet is now live, allowing users and developers to build and use a DeFi application and tool ecosystem on Unichain. Nearly 100 crypto products and protocols, including Uniswap, Circle, Coinbase, Lido, and Morpho, have already been built on Unichain, many of which are already live, with more to come in the coming weeks. According to Nansen data, on-chain activity surged hours after Unichain's mainnet launch, with the number of active addresses reaching 11,900 within 24 hours, an increase of 611%; the number of transactions reached 261,880, an increase of 163%.
