A few words about Unichain Testnet:
Unichain is a blockchain platform built to tackle key challenges in decentralized finance (DeFi), such as cross-chain interaction issues and liquidity fragmentation. As an EVM-compatible chain powered by the OP Stack, it seamlessly integrates with Ethereum while offering faster block times and reduced gas fees for a smoother user experience. Unichain also brings innovative features like Verifiable Block Building and the Unichain Validation Network (UVN) to improve transaction transparency, minimize latency, and strengthen security in decentralized trading.
The Verifiable Block Building system separates block-building tasks from the sequencer, ensuring transactions are processed transparently and follow specific ordering rules. This approach mitigates risks tied to miner extractable value (MEV) while delivering lower transaction latency. Meanwhile, the Unichain Validation Network provides a decentralized validator layer that verifies block validity, enabling faster finality and instilling greater trust in transaction outcomes across the network.
