What is Unichain?
Unichain is revolutionizing DeFi by developing the fastest, most cost-effective Layer 2 network for cross-chain liquidity. Built to unite fragmented blockchain ecosystems, it's where traders, developers, and liquidity providers come together to access seamless, efficient markets.
Stage 1 Rollup
Unichain is the first Ethereum L2 to launch as a Stage 1 Rollup with a fully functioning permissionless fault proof system ensuring the trustless security of the network.
Instant transactions
Unichain will launch with 1-second block times, with 250 ms block times coming soon. Reducing latency significantly improves market efficiency by increasing the frequency of arbitrage and lowering value lost to MEV.
Reduced cost and further decentralization
Unichain is designed to leverage and accelerate Ethereum’s scaling roadmap, moving execution to an L2. This lowers transaction costs by ~95% in the short term, and even more over time. While Unichain relies on a single sequencer for efficiency, it introduces further decentralization by allowing full nodes to help verify blocks.
Cross-chain liquidity
Unichain is built to support seamless transactions across dozens of chains, making it easy to access liquidity no matter what chain users are on. As part of the Superchain, Unichain will support native interoperability, and Uniswap Labs will continue pioneering standards for seamless interoperability across all chains.
About Chainlink
Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform bringing the capital markets onchain and powering the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi). The Chainlink stack provides the essential data, interoperability, compliance, and privacy standards needed to power advanced blockchain use cases for institutional tokenized assets, lending, payments, stablecoins, and more. Since inventing decentralized oracle networks, Chainlink has enabled tens of trillions in transaction value and now secures the vast majority of DeFi.
Many of the world's largest financial services institutions have also adopted Chainlink's standards and infrastructure, including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, UBS, ANZ, and top protocols such as Aave, GMX, Lido, and many others. Chainlink leverages a novel fee model where offchain and onchain revenue from enterprise adoption is converted to LINK tokens and stored in a strategic Chainlink Reserve.

The Chainlink Labs Channel Partner strategy is intended to outline a joint approach between Chainlink Labs and select accelerators, launchpads, incubators, devshops, and software tools to promote the user adoption and growth of the web3 ecosystem. Chainlink Labs and the channel partners will collaborate to accelerate and nurture the web3 ecosystem in key areas including gameFi, NFTs, developers, and startups.
Chainlink Labs is the leading provider of secure and reliable open-source blockchain oracle solutions, enhancing smart contracts by connecting them to a wide range of off-chain data sources and computations, such as asset prices, web APIs, IoT devices, payment systems, and more. We are dedicated to the development and integration of Chainlink as the standard decentralized oracle framework used by smart contracts across any blockchain.
