- Early 2025 is when Unichain’s public mainnet, a DeFi-focused Layer 2 built by Uniswap and modeled after the OP Stack, is expected to launch.

Early in 2025, Unichain, a DeFi-focused Layer 2 solution created by Uniswap and based on the OP Stack, is anticipated to open its public mainnet.
Ethereum’s Sepolia testnet, where the project has been operating since October, has deployed more than 4 million test contracts and processed more than 50 million test transactions. Uniswap has stated that the Sepolia testnet has maintained an uptime of over 99% across all important services.
Unichain Sepolia will begin scheduled maintenance on January 6, 2025, in order to activate the permissionless fault proofs. Permissionless fault proofs will be incorporated by the developers as soon as Unichain’s mainnet launches.
This feature improves network security by allowing anyone to verify a blockchain’s current state and challenge incorrect withdrawals. Fault proofs are a way for users to challenge transactions that may be malicious or incorrect for Ethereum Layer 2 networks.
Following the completion of the maintenance and security checks, the mainnet will be accessible to the general public. During this stage, users will be able to bridge cash to the network and begin using Unichain-based apps.
Following the mainnet launch, new features are planned, including the much anticipated Flashblocks, which promise to drastically reduce block times to 250 milliseconds and make transactions nearly instantaneous.
By developing the Unichain Validation Network, a decentralized network of node operators that independently verify the most recent blockchain state, Unichain hopes to reduce the dangers associated with single-sequencer systems.
A validated rollup block-building platform developed by Flashbots, Rollup-Boost, will also be a part of the network and used to reliably build blocks on Unichain.
After the mainnet debuts, Unichain will join Optimism’s Superchain ecosystem, and Uniswap Labs will play a significant role in the OP Stack.
Over $1 billion worth of transactions were made on Uniswap, Ethereum’s top position decentralized exchange by volume, in the last day alone.
