Unichain Validation Network Update
With Unichain mainnet on the horizon, the Uniswap Foundation is excited to share how the Unichain Validation Network (UVN) will drive decentralization and fuel DeFi growth. The UVN is designed to enhance Unichain’s decentralization and deliver faster finality by relying on a network of full nodes that monitor and verify sequencer-posted blocks. Validators and their stakers will play a key role in securing the network and will be rewarded accordingly—earning 65% of Unichain’s net chain revenue for their efforts.
In the coming months, an initial test version of the UVN will launch on the Unichain Experimental testnet for performance and stability testing. Once this phase is complete, the UVN will officially go live, and validators and stakers will begin receiving their share of the network’s revenue. In the meantime, as the validator network is built and tested, the Uniswap Foundation will channel chain revenue into a Unichain Growth Reserve. Read more about it here.
