Speed plays a big role in making onchain markets efficient

It’s why Unichain launched with 1s block times and is working with Flashbots to pioneer 200ms sub-blocks on the OP Stack

But speed alone is not enough ⬇️

Unichain is built to be fast, fair and verifiable, and interoperable

Because there's a lot that goes into building a chain for DeFi

That starts with how transactions are sequenced

Unichain uses priority ordering, with block building happening inside a trusted execution environment (TEE)

This improves transparency and opens the door up for anyone to verify how blocks were built 🫡

But even optimized infrastructure falls short when liquidity is fragmented

To help solve this, Unichain will implement native interop once it's live on the OP Stack

For interop beyond the Superchain, ERC-7683 works to solve fragmentation through a universal filler network

TLDR, Unichain delivers more than just speed:

✹ Fair transaction ordering with priority fees
✹ Block building inside a TEE for verifiability
✹ Cross-chain infrastructure to unify liquidity

The future of DeFi is bright ✨

We all know speed is important, faster blocks mean better UX and better markets:

✹ More frequent price updates
✹ Smaller window for stale execution
✹ Less divergence from offchain markets

But fairness and transparency matter too
