Unichain – an Ethereum L2 designed for DeFi
AI summary of the linked articleUniswap Labs announced Unichain, a fast, decentralized Superchain L2 built to serve as a home for DeFi and liquidity across chains. The company says Unichain will lower transaction costs by about 95% compared with Ethereum L1 in the short term, and launches with one-second block times, with 250ms "sub-blocks" planned. A block builder developed with Flashbots uses a trusted execution environment, and Unichain is partnering with OP Labs on native interoperability within the Optimism Superchain. The testnet goes live now, with mainnet due later this year, and the code is open source under the MIT license. |
1 comment  Nice! Whitepapers are back! Somehow that reminded me how we used to communicate technical break throughs :) It‘s interesting, so somehow they want to decrease perceived finality with this. But how does this work with being finalized on Ethereum L1? Can‘t someone still MEV the rollup sequencers eventually? |
