Scalable singular chains like Solana are very successful has been that like, you know, there's two approaches to scaling. There's going vertical. There's going horizontal. They both have validity, but ultimately you need horizontal scaling to reach like true mass scale. And so that will require many chains running in parallel. And we need to figure out how to make that user experience completely seamless. The internet runs at massive scale. It doesn't do it by running everything on one massive server.

It does it by running many, many servers that can just seamlessly connect to each other.

And we have to do that for blockchains. And so we have to figure out how to make different

blockchains feel like one experience. With Unichane, a lot of our focus is on what we call

interop, which is how to make multiple blockchains feel like one, cohesive experience.

Welcome to Bankless, where we explore the frontier of internet money and internet finance.

This is how to get started, how to get better, and how to front run the opportunity.

This is David Hoffman here to talk to you about the launch of Unichain.

Unichain, the Uniswap Labs built layer two is live today.

On the show, we go through the release of Unichain with Hayden Adams, the creator of Uniswap and CEO of Uniswap Labs,

to talk through some of the bells and whistles that the Uniswap Layer 2 is bringing to the table.

Some people out there, I'm sure,

are saying something along the lines of not another layer two. Well, Unichane is bringing some

novel tech to the table that no other layer two has. They have built some new kind of sequencing

process that helps decentralize the sequencer in collaboration with Flashbots.

They've been pioneering full-stack

native interoperability with the optimism collective. And they've also built the unichain

validation network that allows uni token holders to stake their uni and check the validity of the

output of the unichain sequencer and also earn the fees accrued by the unichane block space.

I think that's pretty cool.

And of course, these are the subjects that I get into with Hayden.

But first before we get into it, a message from our friends and sponsors over at Morpho.
