Overall, Unichain's use of a Verifiable Block Builder via a TEE and the UVN offers an exciting solution to many issues in Ethereum's rollup-centric roadmap, potentially becoming the home of liquidity 🚀. Follow @404Gov for more updates on Unichain and Uniswap governance.

The other risk is competition from other chains with faster block times:. @megaeth_labs (<1ms).@rise_chain (<10ms) .@atlasxyz (50ms) . Who could potentially increase LP profitability and attract DeFi projects, which could draw liquidity away from Unichain.

This is why @Uniswap is working with @AcrossProtocol to improve cross-chain UX and standardize intents through ERC-7683

But if cross-chain UX was seamless, a user could just express their intent, and behind the scenes, a filler would complete the order:. 1️⃣ Bridge USDC to Unichain.2️⃣ Swap for WETH on Unichain (where liquidity could be better).3️⃣ Bridge WETH to Chain B and send it to the user.

Cross-Chain UX Fails to Improve. Today you have to go through clunky bridges and spend time searching chains for the best price. If cross-chain UX doesn’t improve, users may still resort to swapping on their native chains, which may not encourage liquidity to migrate to Unichain.

With these improvements, Unichain has the potential to address the aforementioned problems, position itself as the most appealing chain for LPs, attract significant liquidity, and establish itself as the Liquidity Hub. However, there are a few risks to the Unichain thesis👇.

Validators stake UNI on Ethereum and post attestations of block validity. By ensuring confidence in the canonical chain as blocks are proposed, the UVN reduces settlement times and enables efficient cross-chain liquidity flow.

3️⃣ Faster Economic Finality. Unichain accelerates finality through its Validation Network (UVN), a decentralized network of staked validators that independently verify blocks. This reduces risks like block equivocation and invalid blocks that can delay finality.

Through TEE-enforced priority ordering, applications can capture MEV by applying MEV taxes, charging a % of priority fees. Regular users remain unaffected, as only searchers bidding aggressively for inclusion would pay high priority fees

2️⃣ MEV Capture. The TEE also allows for a framework for MEV recapture by creating a secure, tamper-proof environment that enforces ordering transactions by priority fees.

Shorter effective block times also lower the adverse selection costs for liquidity providers. Faster blocks help reduce arbitrage profits because prices update more frequently, narrowing the window for arbitrage opportunities. This could potentially lead to higher LP returns.

1️⃣ Efficient Markets. Unichain uses a Verifiable Block Builder powered by a trusted execution environment (TEE) to separate block building from sequencing. The TEE issues block pre-confirmations, called Flashblocks, every 250ms which boosts UX and market efficiency.

So, how does Unichain’s architecture fix this?. 🔹 Efficient markets: 250ms effective block times reduce toxic flow for LPs.🔹 MEV Capture: Applications can recapture MEV through MEV Taxes.🔹 Faster Economic Finality: Reduced settlement delays enabling cross-chain liquidity flow

As DeFi expands, Ethereum’s rollup-centric scaling has introduced challenges:. 🔹 ⏳ Slow execution: Users face delays and inefficiencies. 🔹 💵 MEV exploitation: Arbitrage bots profit at the expense of users. 🔹 🌊 Fragmented liquidity: Assets are spread all across rollups.

Unichain is an optimistic rollup built on the OP Stack, designed to make on-chain markets more efficient. Its goals?. 🔹Fast state updates. 🔹A framework for MEV recapture for users. 🔹Unified liquidity across rollups. Let’s dive into how it works 👇.
