Unichain Mainnet Set for Early 2025: Developers Announce Major Updates

Unichain Mainnet Launch: Over 50M Transactions Tested

According to its developers, Uniswap’s DeFi-focused Layer 2 solution, Unichain, which is based on the OP Stack, is anticipated to debut its public mainnet early in 2025. The project has been running on Ethereum’s Sepolia testnet, which has deployed over 4 million test contracts and handled over 50 million test transactions since October.

In order to activate the permissionless fault proofs, Unichain Sepolia will undergo planned maintenance beginning on January 6, 2025. From the first day of Unichain’s mainnet launch, the developers want to incorporate permissionless fault proofs.

Unichain Prepares for Mainnet with Fault Proofs and Flashblocks Technology

By enabling anyone to confirm a blockchain’s current state and contest erroneous withdrawals, this feature enhances network security. For Ethereum Layer 2 networks, fault proofs serve as a method that lets users contest transactions that might be erroneous or malicious.

In addition, the public will be able to access the mainnet after the maintenance and safety checks are completed. Users will be able to start using Unichain-based apps and bridge funds to the network during this phase. New features, such as the eagerly awaited Flashblocks, which promise to significantly cut block times to 250 milliseconds and make transactions almost instantaneous, are planned after the mainnet debut.

Additionally, the network will include Rollup-Boost, a verified rollup block-building platform created by Flashbots that will be utilized to safely construct blocks on Unichain. Uniswap Labs will be a key contributor to the OP Stack, and Unichain will join Optimism’s Superchain ecosystem once the mainnet launches.
