Unichain joins the Superchain
Uniswap Labs announced Unichain, an L2 to become a home for DeFi and liquidity across chains.
Unichain is working to bring better interoperability, enabling seamless access to cross-chain swapping, and collaborating with Optimism to bring cross-chain message passing to the Superchain. With one-second block times at launch and upcoming 250ms Flash-blocks thanks to collaborations with Flashbots and OP Labs, Unichain promises faster, more efficient transactions.
