ChainCatcher news, Uniswap Labs' L2 network Unichain announced the introduction of a new validation network, which will further decentralize the chain by allowing nodes to validate blocks. This feature adds an additional finality layer and reduces the risk of block conflicts, expected to launch in 2025.

ChainCatcher news, according to official information, Unichain has released a mainnet roadmap article, which states that since the launch of its Sepolia testnet, it has successfully processed 50 million test transactions and deployed over 4 million test contracts. Currently, it is in the infrastructure provider access phase leading to the mainnet, and the testnet is open to the public. During this period, through rigorous testing and monitoring, the network's key service uptime has exceeded 99%, effectively ensuring stability and user security.It is reported that the Unichain mainnet is planned to go live in early 2025, at which point it will support permissionless proof of fault from day one, allowing anyone to verify on-chain activities, further promoting the decentralization process, enhancing network security and transparency, and providing a more reliable blockchain platform for users and developers. In the future, new features such as Flashblocks will be launched on the experimental testnet to continuously improve network performance and decentralization.

ChainCatcher news, according to Forbes, Uniswap Labs recently announced the launch of its new blockchain Unichain, while Uniswap has long been a key driver of activity on the Ethereum mainnet. As Uniswap transitions to its own chain, validators on the Ethereum network could lose approximately $400 million to $500 million in revenue annually.But more serious than this economic loss is the threat to Ethereum's fundamental narrative as a deflationary currency. Uniswap's universal router is the largest account consuming gas fees, accounting for 14.5% of Ethereum's gas fees, equivalent to the destruction of $1.6 billion worth of Ethereum. This means that the effectiveness of the burn mechanism will weaken, further undermining Ethereum's economic position.

ChainCatcher message, Unichain has released a withdrawal guide for early developers to access bridging ETH. For users who have deposited ETH through the unconfirmed Unichain bridge, the official documentation provides steps to withdraw ETH back to the mainnet. The withdrawal process is outlined as follows:Initiate withdrawal on L2: Users can start the withdrawal by either making a deposit transaction on L1 or trading directly on L2.Relay the withdrawal to L1: This step requires waiting for the proposer to suggest an output that includes the withdrawal on L1, which is generally updated once an hour.Complete the withdrawal on L1: After relaying, users need to wait for a 7-day fault challenge period, and then run a command to finalize the withdrawal.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, the Unichain team has disabled its public RPC after details of early developer access were publicly disseminated. However, some users have transferred funds to Unichain through related contracts, and currently, these users' funds are temporarily inaccessible.Previous news, Unichain stated that some details of early developers accessing the Unichain mainnet have been publicly circulated, but the Unichain mainnet has not yet gone live, and the specifications for the bridge have not been finalized. Since it is not yet ready for public use, the RPC during the developer access period has been disabled, and details of the public RPC will be released once it is ready.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, after the "public dissemination" of details regarding early developer access, the Unichain team has disabled its public RPC. However, some users have transferred funds to Unichain through related contracts, and currently, these users' funds are temporarily inaccessible.Morning news, Unichain announced that some details regarding early developer access to the Unichain mainnet have been publicly circulated, but the Unichain mainnet has not yet been launched------and the specifications for the cross-chain bridge have not been finalized.

ChainCatcher news, Unichain posted on X that some details about early developers accessing the Unichain mainnet have been publicly circulated, but the Unichain mainnet has not yet been launched, and the bridge specifications have not been finalized. Since it is not ready for public use, the RPC during the developer access period has been disabled, and the details of the public RPC will be released once it is ready.In the meantime, cross-chain users can still withdraw to the Ethereum mainnet.

ChainCatcher news, Uniswap L2 Unichain announced the launch of a new validation network to further decentralize the chain by allowing nodes to validate blocks.According to RootData, Unichain is a Defi native Ethereum L2, designed to be a home for cross-chain liquidity. Unichain aims to support seamless transactions across dozens of chains, allowing users to easily access liquidity regardless of which chain they are on.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Uniswap previously announced that the Unichain mainnet is scheduled to launch later this year, and some criminals are taking the opportunity to promote fake websites for scams on the Google advertising platform.The blockchain analysis platform Scam Sniffer reports that scammers have meticulously created a counterfeit website that closely resembles the official Unichain website and have placed it at the top of search results by purchasing Google ads. Although the ad displays the real Unichain website URL, clicking on it redirects users to the fake website. Once users connect their wallets, the site will continuously send transaction requests, intending to deplete the cryptocurrency assets in the users' wallets.

ChainCatcher message, the Uniswap Foundation announces the launch of the Unichain Developer Grant Program, focusing on three areas:Novel trading mechanisms: including innovative hooks and non-AMM trading mechanisms to enhance the trader experience;Innovations in DeFi experience: including service expansion and experience improvements in areas such as payments, commerce, insurance, finance, and asset management;Improvements in liquidity infrastructure: including hooks and other tools designed to enable LPs to manage liquidity more efficiently, flexibly, and easily, while reducing risk.

ChainCatcher message, Wormhole stated on social media that it has launched on the Unichain testnet.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, DeFi Report founder Michael Nadeau stated on social media that Uniswap Labs and UNI token holders will benefit the most from Unichain, while ETH holders may suffer the greatest losses, with an expected annual revenue of nearly $500 million from fees that would have been paid to the Ethereum network.Michael Nadeau added: "The launch of Unichain will direct the $36.8 billion paid to Ethereum validators last year straight into Uniswap Labs and potentially Uniswap. Uniswap Labs will also be able to capture all of the maximum extractable value (MEV) on Unichain, as it owns all the validators on the network, rather than allowing Ethereum validators to exploit MEV. It is estimated that MEV accounts for about 10% of the total fees paid on Uniswap (which was $100 million over the past year), and they can choose to share a portion of that with token holders. Additionally, Uniswap's liquidity providers can also benefit from the new blockchain, as they will be able to participate in settlement and MEV capture through staking."Previously, Uniswap launched Unichain on October 10, promising faster, cheaper transactions and improved interoperability across different blockchain networks.
