ℹ️ Overview of the Unichain L2

Unichain is a DeFi-native Ethereum Layer 2, built to be the home for cross-chain liquidity. It brings traders, developers, and liquidity providers together in one fast, low-cost network designed to unite fragmented blockchain ecosystems.

• Stage 1 Rollup: Unichain is the first Ethereum L2 to launch as a Stage 1 Rollup with a fully permissionless fault-proof system, ensuring trustless security and resilience.
• Instant Transactions: Launching with 1-second block times, and soon moving to 200 ms, Unichain dramatically reduces latency. Faster blocks mean more efficient markets, tighter arbitrage opportunities, and less value lost to MEV.
• Reduced Costs and Greater Decentralization: By shifting execution off Ethereum’s base layer, Unichain cuts transaction costs by ~95% — with more savings over time. While initially relying on a single sequencer for speed, it introduces decentralized block verification through full nodes.
• Cross-Chain Liquidity: Unichain is designed for seamless cross-chain transactions, making it simple for users to access liquidity across dozens of chains. As part of the Superchain, it will support native interoperability, with Uniswap Labs leading the way in setting new cross-chain standards.
