Uniswap Labs announced the launch of Unichain, a Layer-2 network based on Optimism technology. The project aims to increase transaction speed and reduce costs while improving liquidity. Hayden Adams, founder and CEO of Uniswap Labs, said that Unichain will use Optimism's OP Stack technology and become part of its Superchain ecosystem. Unichain is expected to launch the testnet on October 10, and the team plans to introduce a community verification network in 2025 to increase the network's decentralization by staking UNI. (CoinDesk)
