SVR Tool Deployed After Recapturing $16M in MEV
Unichain, the Layer-2 network built on Uniswap, announced on March 18, 2026, its integration into the Chainlink Scale program. The move grants its developers access to Chainlink's industry-standard data feeds and the newly launched Smart Value Recapture (SVR) tool, aimed at optimizing the network's on-chain lending markets.
The key technological upgrade is the SVR tool, which is designed to capture Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) from liquidations that would otherwise be lost to third-party bots. Since its initial rollout on other networks, SVR has successfully recaptured over $16 million in value, demonstrating its potential to significantly improve the capital efficiency of DeFi protocols on Unichain.
Partnership Taps Chainlink's $28T Infrastructure for Institutions
This integration is a strategic play to attract institutional capital by adopting infrastructure with a proven track record. Chainlink's services have enabled more than $28 trillion in transaction value, providing the verifiable chain of trust required for large financial institutions to deploy capital at scale. By joining the Chainlink Scale program, the Uniswap Foundation will cover certain integration and maintenance costs, lowering the barrier for developers to build high-performance applications on Unichain.
We're excited to see Unichain join the Chainlink Scale program and adopt the Chainlink data standard to secure, institutional-grade DeFi markets. As the DeFi chain powered by Uniswap, Unichain adopting Chainlink is a clear signal that the industry is converging around secure and reliable infrastructure.
— Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer of Chainlink Labs.
This partnership completes Unichain's adoption of Chainlink's full service suite, building upon its earlier integration of the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). The move signals Unichain's commitment to establishing itself as a premier destination for secure and scalable institutional DeFi.
