Unichain TVL surpasses 326 million dollars amid rapid growth

According to the latest data from DefiLlama, as of April 22, 2025, Unichain — the new Layer-2 platform launched by Uniswap — has recorded a total (TVL) locked value of $326 million. This impressive figure reflects Unichain's increasingly important role in promoting the development of the decentralized finance sector (DeFi), particularly through optimizing network efficiency and improving liquidity management.

This incentive package aims to attract liquidity into 12 core pools – including strategic asset pairs like USDC/ETH – thereby enhancing trading activity and overall liquidity.

This incentive program not only contributes to boosting daily trading volume but also demonstrates the positive reception of the market towards Uniswap's Layer-2 platform. This remarkable growth is clear evidence of the DeFi community's trust in Unichain's long-term potential.

"Unichain is built with a distinctive approach… We created Unichain to make DeFi faster, cheaper, and more decentralized – from day one, it has been a permissionless platform, Hayden Adams, founder & CEO of Uniswap Labs, shared.

Unichain's TVL Exceeds Expectations

The current TVL performance of Unichain surpasses the typical growth rate seen from liquidity incentive programs, reflecting a particular excitement from the user community compared to other Layer-2 initiatives.

The current price of the UNI token is trading around 5.37 USD, with a market capitalization of 3.2 billion USD, accounting for about 0.12% market share. However, despite the impressive TVL, the price of UNI has decreased by more than 1% in the past 24 hours, extending a downward trend that has lasted for the past three months.

The daily UNI chart shows continuous price fluctuations, but the increasing liquidity may be a stabilizing factor for prices in the medium to long term.

The significant increase in liquidity from Unichain could have a positive impact on both price stability and market participation levels. Analysts suggest that strong activity surrounding Unichain has the potential to further drive new technological initiatives and more effective market strategies in the future.

With the platforms being solidly reinforced, Unichain is not just a Layer-2 – but is gradually becoming the strategic driving force of Uniswap in the race to expand its influence on the global DeFi map.
