Uniswap Labs has rolled out its atherium-compatible layer-2 network, unichain, after four months of test and rolled out more than 100 million per-chain transactions.
Team behind decentralized exchange uniswap Issued Announced by co-founder Hayden Adams on X on 11 February, Mennet for its much awaited L2 network, unichane. This launch comes about two weeks after the onset of Uniswap V4 at the end of January.
Uniswap built its layer -2 series using the op stack of optimism, which is a widely adopted blockchain development toolkit for decentralized finance applications.
Taking advantage of the OP stack, Uniswap has aligned with the “superchen” concept of optimism – a roadmap designed to pursue rollup technology in web 3 and comprehensive financial ecosystems. Crypto firms such as coinbase and crackon have also used the developer kit of optimism for their respective L2 chains, base and ink.
With the launch of Unichaain, Uniswap Labs aims to increase the user experience, unite fragmented liquidity and generate additional revenue through network fees. The company will allegedly collect about 20% of UNICHAIN fees, which will help maintain its operation and development.
Unichaain update incoming
Adams described Unichain as a stage 1 rollup, meaning that the network launched with some centralized components, so that it could ensure efficiency in its early stage. However, he indicated a plan to further decentralize the series in the coming months.
“It only gets better from here,” Adams tweeted.
The co-founder of UNISWAP Labs also teased upcoming reforms, including flashblock, which will enable sub-second block time and improve transparency transparency.
Adams also mentioned working closely with optimism to cooperate with other L2, making it easy to execute the swap, transfer liquidity and experience DEFI. Unichain will take advantage of unichain verification network for staking and blockchain protection. The new L2 will channel 65% of its net revenue as a “additional layer of economic security and verification”.
According to Adams, UNICHAIN launched over 80 projects and processed over 100 million transactions during its four -month Testnet stage, which began in October 2024.
Uniswap’s new L2 will also be integrated with a crypto on and off-ramp service provider. Partnership will enable users to purchase and sell digital assets through transual payments infrastructure.
We believe that innovation is located at the intersection of access and technology. The vision of Unichain is a high performance rollup that scales atherium and power DEFI, complementing our mission to make decentralized finance accessible to our mission in transutions.
