Optimism to take over operations of Uniswap's Unichain
- —Unichain moves to Optimism operations: testnet Oct. 13, mainnet Oct. 29
- —Uniswap Labs keeps the chain ID, contracts, balances and Uniswap v2, v3 and v4 deployments
- —Soneium assigned sequencer, node and monitoring duties to Optimism under a Sept. 30 deal
- —Mission Critical SLA promises 99.95% uptime and a 15-minute initial incident response
Why it matters: More branded L2s now depend on a single operator, cutting coordination costs but creating a shared failure risk across chains.
