About Unichain

Unichain is a DeFi-native Ethereum L2, built to be the home for liquidity across chains

What is Unichain?

Unichain, a faster, cheaper L2 designed to be the home for DeFi and the home for multichain liquidity.

Instant transactions

Unichain will launch with 1-second block times, with 250 ms block times coming soon. Reducing latency significantly improves market efficiency by increasing the frequency of arbitrage and lowering value lost to MEV.

Reduced cost and further decentralization

Unichain is designed to leverage and accelerate Ethereum’s scaling roadmap, moving execution to an L2. This lowers transaction costs by ~95% in the short term, and even more over time. While Unichain relies on a single sequencer for efficiency, it introduces further decentralization by allowing full nodes to help verify blocks.

Cross-chain liquidity

Unichain is built to support seamless transactions across dozens of chains, making it easy to access liquidity no matter what chain users are on. As part of the Superchain, Unichain will support native interoperability, and Uniswap Labs will continue pioneering standards for seamless interoperability across all chains.
