DeFi needs the ultimate speed, cost-efficiency, cross-chain liquidity and interoperability to have a future where we control finance.
But, most importantly, DeFi needs a home where all are welcome, and this is where we introduce you to the Unichain.
What is Unichain?
Unichain is a new Ethereum Layer 2 network created by Web3’s leading DEX Uniswap and built on the Optimism Superchain. A true home for DeFi requires ease of use, speed, cost-efficiency and most importantly, the unification of the biggest and best networks
With many L2s competing, Unichain is transforming DeFi by uniting other blockchain ecosystems to work together to create an all-in-one hub where traders, liquidity providers and developers can enjoy a more seamless and efficient experience.
Finally, a place we can all call home.
How Does Unichain Work?
Starting with superspeed, Unichain launched its mainnet with 1-second block times and soon will be upgrading to supersonic speed, where it will facilitate blocks at 250 ms, significantly reducing latency and simultaneously improving market efficiency by upgrading the frequency of arbitrage and diminishing value lost to MEV!
Unichain Ecosystem & Statistics
As a very new network with only 1 month of the mainnet live, Unichain has already amassed a serious ecosystem of built and integrated dApps, including Hyperlane, Lido Finance, Ether Fi and many more that make it a powerhouse ecosystem covering your every desire.
Offering such a lucrative and interoperable ecosystem attracts users and volume, no doubt. The case is apparent with Unichain, stacking up an impressive 9.4M+ transactions across over 238K unique users and over 168K smart contracts deployed!
We’re letting the numbers speak for themselves here.
Unichain Roadmap
Looking ahead, Unichain has many new upgrades planned to be rolled out that could multiply its user and developer activity extensively. Soon come, we will see 200ms sub-block times and the ability to easily and quickly transfer assets across the Superchain ecosystem and the unique Unichain Validation Network, enabling anyone to run a node, verify blocks and earn rewards!
Potential Unichain Airdrop
Did somebody say airdrop?
That’s right. Although it’s not confirmed, the likelihood of Unichain conducting an airdrop is high, but why?
Well, first, we can look at Uniswap and its historical airdrop of $6.43B worth of $UNI. Secondly, the Optimism Superchain of Layer 2s has been notorious for launching governance tokens for their networks.
So, if there will be an airdrop, how would one qualify?
Well, we have created a comprehensive tutorial on YouTube that could secure your spot to a potentially enormous and historical airdrop!
Who knows, just a few clicks and you could potentially make five figures from this L2!
Unichain Token
As for the token, we are still uncertain if $UNI will be the governance token for both Uniswap and Unichain. Nonetheless, an airdrop is not confirmed, and this is all speculation, but the likelihood of a new governance token, possibly called $UNC, will most likely arise.
