Transak is making it easier than ever to access Unichain, the Layer 2 blockchain scaling solution from Uniswap Labs.

Uniswap Labs has played a key role in expanding the crypto ecosystem, but for many new users, navigating Web3 can still be complex. With Transak now supporting Unichain, onboarding into decentralized finance (DeFi) becomes more intuitive than ever.

Users can now purchase cryptocurrencies directly on Unichain using a range of fiat payment methods, streamlining access to DeFi’s most innovative ecosystem.
“Innovation happens at the intersection of accessibility and technology. Unichain’s mission to scale Ethereum and power DeFi aligns with our vision to make decentralized finance available to everyone.”

Why Unichain?

Unichain tackles some of DeFi’s biggest challenges, including high transaction fees, slow processing speeds, and fragmented liquidity. As a superchain built on Ethereum, it cuts transaction costs by up to 95% compared to Ethereum Layer 1 and achieves one-second block times. Future improvements will push speeds even further, with sub-block times as low as 200-250 milliseconds.

How Transak Enhances Unichain

Transak’s integration amplifies Unichain’s benefits by offering a frictionless onboarding experience, whether you’re a seasoned trader or a first-time DeFi user. Operating in over 160 countries, Transak supports multiple local payment methods, including Google Pay, Apple Pay, credit cards, and bank transfers.

It also meets global financial compliance standards, with security certifications like SOC2 Type 2 and ISO/IEC 27001 ensuring user protection. With Transak on Unichain, users can:

Buy crypto instantly – Convert fiat into UNI, ETH, and other tokens directly on Unichain without intermediaries.
Experience unmatched speed – Multi-level KYC enables users to start trading in as little as 30 seconds.
Sell crypto effortlessly – Convert Unichain assets back to fiat seamlessly.

A Proven Track Record

Since early 2024, Transak has been live on the Uniswap Wallet, helping users buy crypto directly with familiar payment methods. This success now extends to Unichain, reinforcing Transak’s commitment to simplifying access to DeFi’s most powerful tools.

“Transak’s infrastructure supports Unichain’s growth by delivering a seamless fiat-to-crypto experience. This partnership moves us closer to a more inclusive and accessible DeFi industry,” said Mark Toda, Head of Protocols at Uniswap Labs.
