Today Unichain mainnet is live, unlocking a powerful new platform for DeFi builders. Unichain is a Superchain L2 that’s built to be the home for liquidity across chains: enabling fast blocks, cheaper execution, and cross-chain interoperability.
Designing for the DeFi builder community
It’s our goal to make Unichain the best place for DeFi developers. Over the last year, the Uniswap Foundation has laid the groundwork for the early Unichain community: onboarding over 80 apps and infrastructure providers.
From Day 1, core DeFi platforms like Circle, Coinbase, and the Uniswap Protocol will be live. Powerful applications supported by Foundation grants, like Pure, will enable new pathways for onchain value creation. And, over the next weeks, we’re excited to welcome key projects and builders: including Lido, Morpho, Ether.fi, and many more.
Advancing decentralization as we scale Ethereum
In the coming months, the introduction of the Unichain Validation Network (UVN) will further Unichain decentralization and enable fast finality: allowing a network of nodes to monitor and verify blocks. Through the UVN, 65% of Unichain revenue will be earned by stakers and validators for their work in securing the network.
If you’re interested in becoming a validator for the UVN, reach out here. We’ll send more information on how we plan to support you over the next few weeks.
Supporting tomorrow’s builders
In 2025, Foundation initiatives will expand to support Unichain’s growing builder community, providing robust developer education, lifecycle support, infrastructure and tooling, targeted incentive campaigns, and project funding.
Together, we’re creating a developer platform for the next generation of financial innovation. We look forward to building it alongside you.
