Hayden Adams, creator of Uniswap, introduces UniChain, a new Layer 2 solution designed to enhance DeFi scalability and efficiency.
We explore UniChain’s innovations, including its decentralized sequencing mechanism, one-second block times, and seamless interoperability with Ethereum and the Optimism Superchain. Adams also discusses Uniswap v4’s impact on gas efficiency and how UniChain aims to reduce MEV extraction, benefiting users and liquidity providers.
A must-listen for anyone interested in the future of DeFi scalability and cross-chain integration!
