<p>According to a report by Michael Nadeau from DeFi Report, Unichain could <strong>redistribute up to $468 million in transaction fees per year</strong>. Previously paid to Ethereum validators, these funds will now benefit Uniswap and its users.</p> 
<p>The crypto platform also captures the maximum extractable value (MEV), estimated at 10% of total fees, which further enhances the appeal for investors.</p> 
<h2 id="h-lancement-d-unichain-quel-impact-sur-la-blockchain-crypto-ethereum-et-ses-validateurs">Launch of Unichain: What impact on the Ethereum crypto blockchain and its validators?</h2> 
<p>If Unichain seems to be a boon for UNI crypto token holders, it represents <strong>a challenge for Ethereum</strong>. <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/ethereum-quest-ce-que-cest-et-comment-cela-fonctionne/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ethereum</a> validators will indeed see a decrease in transaction fees, which could affect their revenues.</p> 
<p>Less ETH will be burned, and thus less value will be returned to the Ethereum blockchain. This transition could <strong>redistribute the balance of power</strong> between these two giants of the crypto ecosystem.</p>

<h2 id="h-unichain-sera-t-elle-l-avenir-de-la-defi">Will Unichain be the future of DeFi?</h2> 
<p>Some voices (including <a href="https://x.com/VitalikButerin/status/1575772104678510592" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vitalik Buterin</a>, co-founder of Ethereum) question the relevance of a dedicated L2 blockchain for Uniswap. However, other cryptography experts welcome this change.</p> 
<p>In concrete terms, Unichain promises <strong>better interoperability and faster crypto transactions</strong>. It also aims to offer DeFi users more concentrated liquidity options. Additionally, it offers:</p> 
<ul> 
 <li>the potential to participate in <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/staking-de-cryptomonnaies-guide-complet-sur-bitvavo/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">staking</a>,</li> 
 <li>the capture of MEV.</li> 
</ul> 
<p>The launch of Unichain could thus mark a turning point in the crypto world. For its part, <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/uniswap-launches-a-crypto-solution-that-could-overshadow-all-layer-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Uniswap</a> is gradually positioning itself as a key player in the crypto market.</p>
