Unichain Launches to Transform DeFi
Uniswap Labs has introduced Unichain, a Layer-2 blockchain solution that is designed to improve speed, efficiency, and cross-chain liquidity in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. After completing a successful testnet phase, Unichain seeks to overcome Ethereum's scalability limitations and offer users a more seamless interaction with DeFi apps.
Using Technology for Better Performance and Decentralization
Founded on Optimism's OP Stack, Unichain follows Superchain principles and prioritizes decentralization with a Stage 1 rollup design and permissionless fault-proof setup. The platform accommodates a broad spectrum of DeFi operations, such as token swapping, provision of liquidity, and cross-chain trading, all of which are accessible via the Uniswap web application and wallet.
Strategic Integrations and Fee Structure
With one-second block times and even faster plans for performance, Unichain is also paired with Coinbase's Onramp service, which allows for fiat-to-crypto conversion. In an effort to drive adoption, Unichain has no interface fees for swaps for the first few months and charges much lower gas fees than Ethereum, with Uniswap Labs taking a cut of the fees to help fund operations and development.
