Unichain, powered by Alchemy’s full-stack platform makes DeFi 95% cheaper and faster
Author: Bianca Tat
Ship production-ready DeFi apps from day one of mainnet with Alchemy’s infrastructure support for Unichain, the L2 that's set to transform how we think about onchain liquidity.
Momentum is building
The testnet numbers show builder excitement is already here:
- 88 million test transactions processed
- 12 million test contracts deployed
Unichain is primed for growth. With over 80+ apps committed to launch of Unichain, it is quickly becoming a home for DeFi.
The road ahead
Unichain has outlined a methodical path to ensure a stable and secure development after mainnet launch. Their sequence begins with core features essential for builders, followed by the strategic activation of Rollup-Boost and Flashblocks to enable revert protection,verifiable priority ordering for transactions, and 250ms sub-blocks. Later in the year Unichain will launch the Unichain Validation Network allowing anyone to run a node and verify blocks.
By aligning our infrastructure support with each phase of this rollout, we ensure you'll have the tools and resources needed to build effectively at every stage.
