Uniswap, the most popular decentralized exchange (DEX), launched its own application-specific layer-2 blockchain network, Unichain, on October 10. Currently in its testnet phase, Unichain promises faster and cheaper transactions, and better interoperability between blockchains. CEO Hayden Adams stated that Unichain will offer better access to liquidity and greater decentralization. Uniswap has approximately $5 billion in TVL across its 25 blockchain networks. Unichain is part of Optimism’s Superchain network and will initially operate with a 1-second block time, with plans to reduce this time to under 250 milliseconds. Share your thoughts in the comments!
