Uniswap Labs Says New Layer-1 Network Unichain To Launch in ‘Early 2025’

The team behind the largest decentralized crypto exchange (DEX) by trading volume is confirming the launch of its highly-anticipated layer-1 blockchain Unichain.

In a new blog post, Uniswap Labs says that, after the successful public testnet phase of the Unichain launch, the launch of a public mainnet is the next step.

The firm says Unichain will begin its transition to mainnet on January 6, 2025.

“The next major milestone focuses on decentralization, which is core to Unichain. Mainnet will go live with Permissionless Fault Proofs on day one, allowing anyone to verify the chain’s activity. This process will begin on January 6, 2025, when Unichain Sepolia will undergo planned maintenance to enable Permissionless Fault Proofs.

Once the new system’s safety and stability are validated, mainnet will be open for everyone! Users will be able to bridge funds directly to the network, and applications supporting Unichain will go live.

Rollup-Boost will go live on mainnet shortly after launch, leveraging Flashbots’ TEE-based block builder to enable revert protection and verifiable priority ordering for transactions.”

According to Uniswap Labs, the launch of an “experimental testnet” will follow the conclusion of the public mainnet phase.

“The first feature on public experimental testnet will be Flashblocks, which will bring effective block times down to 250 milliseconds, making transactions feel instant. The Unichain Validation Network will also launch on experimental testnet, and the community will be invited to run test validation nodes.”
