## What is Unichain?

Unichain is a high-speed Layer 2 built on the OP Stack and designed to run seamlessly with Ethereum. It offers near-instant transactions, low fees, and full EVM compatibility — so developers can deploy existing contracts and use familiar tooling without making changes.

It also introduces a few upgrades under the hood:

- A trusted execution environment (TEE) to make block building more fair
- Plans for decentralized validation to reduce reliance on a single sequencer
- Deep interoperability with other OP chains as part of the Superchain

### **Why Unichain?**

Unichain offers fast, low-cost blockspace with native support for on-chain governance, protocol extensions, and advanced tooling for developers.

This integration helps teams operating on the Superchain navigate on-chain activity, automate reporting, and simplify accounting workflows from day one.

### **Why it matters?**

Unichain is designed for DeFi teams. It combines Ethereum’s developer experience with the speed and cost advantages needed to scale real usage.

Whether you're launching a DEX, managing a stablecoin, or running a DAO, Unichain helps keep user experience fast and fees negligible — without forcing you to compromise on security or tooling.

### **What makes Unichain special?**

**Faster:** Transactions on Unichain feel instant. The chain has 1 second block times, with 250 millisecond block times coming soon.

**Cheaper:** Lower costs for creating and accessing liquidity, transaction fees on Unichain are 95% cheaper than Ethereum.

**More Decentralized:** The Unichain Validator Network adds an additional layer of finality and reduces the risk of conflicting or invalid blocks; Unichain is also launching with permissionless fault proofs, which means anyone can verify and challenge the network’s state from day one.

**Built for Cross-Chain:** Unichain is part of the Superchain and will support ERC-7683 for seamless cross-chain transactions.

### **The Unichain Ecosystem**

Unichain launched in early 2025 and has already attracted a growing base of DeFi protocols, infrastructure providers, and wallets. It’s built with Uniswap’s DNA — fast, open, and composable — and designed to support the kind of volume, speed, and interoperability that modern apps need.

With millions of on-chain transactions and deep activity from launch, it's quickly becoming a top destination for builders looking to scale without friction.

### **Accounting on Unichain is different**

Unichain’s performance unlocks new possibilities — but it also creates new challenges for finance teams:

- **High-volume activity**: With fast block times and low fees, transaction volume can spike — making manual tracking almost impossible.
- **Cross-chain flows**: Treasury movements often span multiple OP chains, so visibility across bridges and rollups is critical.
- **New block dynamics**: With TEE-based building and future validator participation, accounting systems must adapt to new reward and fee mechanics.

Integral gives you full visibility into Unichain activity — from protocol revenue to validator rewards — with clean categorization and reporting built in.
