The Lido protocol's stETH and wstETH are now available on [Unichain](https://www.unichain.org/?ref=blog.lido.fi), a DeFi-native Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain built to enhance cross-chain liquidity. Developed by [Uniswap Labs](https://app.uniswap.org/?ref=blog.lido.fi), Unichain takes advantage of [Optimism](https://www.optimism.io/?ref=blog.lido.fi)’s OP Stack to deliver significant improvements in transaction speed and cost efficiency while maintaining Ethereum's security foundation.

The deployment on Unichain was implemented using the Lido protocol [Multichain Automaton](https://github.com/lidofinance/multichain-automaton?ref=blog.lido.fi) – a script that streamlines the deployment of stETH and wstETH bridges on OP Stack networks using the reference architecture.

➡️ To bridge your stETH or wstETH to Unichain: [Superbridge](https://superbridge.app/unichain?ref=blog.lido.fi)

## **What is Unichain?**

Developed by [Uniswap Labs](https://app.uniswap.org/?ref=blog.lido.fi), [Unichain](https://www.unichain.org/?ref=blog.lido.fi) is an EVM-compatible Layer 2 rollup built using [Optimism's OP Stack](https://docs.optimism.io/stack/getting-started?ref=blog.lido.fi) and is a member of the [Superchain ecosystem](https://www.superchain.eco/?ref=blog.lido.fi). It launched as a Stage 1 Rollup with a fully functioning permissionless [fault proof system](https://docs.unichain.org/docs?ref=blog.lido.fi) ensuring trustless security. 

Unichain is specifically designed for DeFi and cross-chain liquidity, with plans to utilize Uniswap v4's potential for liquidity provision. The chain is supported by a robust DeFi ecosystem of 80+ protocols and features 1-second block times with plans for 250ms sub-blocks through Rollup Boost, reducing latency.

## **Bridging to Unichain**

The [Superbridge.app](https://superbridge.app/unichain?ref=blog.lido.fi) provides user interface to transfer stETH & wstETH between Ethereum and Unichain. Before using Superbridge ensure your wallet contains [stETH](https://help.lido.fi/en/articles/5230610-what-is-steth?ref=blog.lido.fi) or [wstETH](https://help.lido.fi/en/articles/5231836-what-is-lido-s-wsteth?ref=blog.lido.fi) (wrapped stETH), then follow these steps:

1. **Access Superbridge:** Navigate to [Superbridge.app](https://superbridge.app/unichain?ref=blog.lido.fi), a popular bridge UI for OP Stack Chains.
2. **Connect Your Wallet:** Link your Ethereum wallet to the bridge UI and verify that you have enough ETH to cover gas fees.
3. **Select Your Networks:** Choose Ethereum as the source chain and Unichain as the destination chain.
4. **Select Your Token:** Choose stETH or wstETH from the list of available tokens in the dropdown menu, and choose the amount you wish to transfer to Unichain.
5. **Approve and Confirm**: Review the transaction details, approve the interaction, and confirm the transfer in your wallet.

The bridging process typically takes only a few minutes to complete. You can track your transaction status on both [Etherscan](https://etherscan.io/?ref=blog.lido.fi) and [Uniscan](https://uniscan.xyz/?ref=blog.lido.fi).

Bridging back from Unichain to Ethereum may take up to 7 days. This delay is a standard security feature of the OP Stack, serving as a challenge period before the transaction is finalized.

If you wish to unwrap wstETH into stETH or wrap stETH into wstETH, it can be done easily on the Unichain network using [Lido’s wrap widget](https://stake.lido.fi/wrap?ref=blog.lido.fi). This ensures a straightforward and efficient way for managing your tokens.
