Unichain
A DeFi-focused L2 built by Uniswap, with 1-second blocks and verifiable block building.
Unichain is the L2 opened in February 2025 by Uniswap Labs, the team behind the Uniswap exchange. Tuned for DeFi trading, it uses 1-second blocks and adds even faster pre-confirmations.
It promotes verifiable block building, which lets others check that blocks were built by the rules. Fees are paid in ETH; in this city the UNI token also counts toward the districtβs weather.

How it looks in the city
It sits in the Superchain quarter west of downtown, drawn in red tones. Vehicles on its roads are transactions per second, and the container trucks heading downtown are the data it posts to L1. It has no token of its own, so building height is computed from deposited assets (TVL) instead of market cap and drawn as a wide civic block.
