Uniswap and Wormhole Supercharge Cross-Chain Asset Accessibility with Unichain

Breaking down blockchain barriers just got real—Uniswap and Wormhole launch Unichain, the cross-chain bridge that actually works.

The Seamless Swap Revolution

Unichain slashes transfer times from hours to seconds—bypassing traditional liquidity fragmentation with atomic cross-chain swaps. No more waiting for confirmations across five networks just to move your assets.

Liquidity Without Borders

Finally tap into deep pools across Ethereum, Solana, and emerging chains without the usual gas-guzzling, multi-step nightmare. Wormhole’s secure messaging protocol ensures assets don’t vanish into the void—a welcome change from last year’s bridge exploits.

Finance’s New Plumbing

This isn’t just another DeFi feature—it’s infrastructure. The kind that makes traditional finance’s settlement systems look like dial-up internet. Sure, Wall Street will probably try to patent it in three years.

Game-changer or just another buzzword? Unichain actually delivers what others promise—real interoperability. Now if only my bank could figure out instant transfers.

In a significant stride towards enhancing multichain interoperability, Uniswap Labs and the Uniswap Foundation have partnered with Wormhole to bring a range of multichain assets to Unichain. This collaboration marks a pivotal step in expanding Unichain's asset ecosystem, with HYPE and SOL debuting as the first tokens available, according to Wormhole.

Initial Asset Launch: HYPE and SOL

The introduction of HYPE, HyperEVM’s native token, and SOL, Solana's well-known cryptocurrency, sets a precedent for future multichain asset integrations. HYPE boasts a market capitalization of $12 billion, while SOL is a prominent token in decentralized finance with a market cap of $111 billion. These assets will provide Unichain users with streamlined access to liquidity from these major ecosystems.

Wormhole Portal: A Trusted Platform

Through the Wormhole Portal, users can transfer HYPE and SOL directly into Unichain. The Portal has facilitated over $54 billion in all-time volume, serving more than a million users. Its robust infrastructure has handled over $65 billion in cross-chain transfers, underpinning the security and reliability necessary for such high-volume transactions.

Incentives for Liquidity Providers

To encourage participation, Uniswap is offering incentives for liquidity providers on Unichain. These incentives include 2,872 UNI weekly for USDC/HYPE pair providers and 3,351 UNI weekly for those providing liquidity to the USDC/SOL pair. Users can transfer these assets via Wormhole Portal and choose to engage in these incentive programs or utilize the assets within Unichain's broader ecosystem.
