Unichain, Uniswap's DeFi-focused Layer 2 built on the OP Stack, is scheduled to activate the Holocene Network Upgrade on its testnet on December 18, 2024, at 22:00 UTC. The upgrade introduces Holocene Block Derivation, MIPS Contracts, and EIP-1559 Configurability, designed to improve functionality, performance, and scalability.
