Enso, Stargate, and LayerZero Unveil One-Click Liquidity Migration Solution for $3.5 Billion

Enso, Stargate, and LayerZero are facilitating a $3.5 billion liquidity migration to Unichain, the largest unified liquidity layer. The migration will be completed in one click through a new one-click migration solution developed by the three Web3 teams. This operation is poised to set a new standard for cross-chain liquidity movements and represents a practical demonstration of DeFi's composability.

Enso, Stargate, and LayerZero have collaborated to facilitate a $3.5 billion liquidity migration to Unichain, marking one of the largest cross-chain liquidity movements in the history of crypto. The migration, set to be completed in just one click, is a testament to the growing composability of DeFi protocols.

The migration, dubbed the "Unicorn Portal," will streamline the process of moving liquidity from Uniswap's existing EVM pools to the novel L1 blockchain Unichain. Traditionally, moving liquidity to Unichain required a multistep process involving up to nine stages, which has deterred many liquidity providers (LPs) from taking advantage of Uniswap v4. Enso’s one-click solution aims to eliminate this friction, allowing LPs to migrate, bridge, and redeploy liquidity in a single hop.

The collaboration between Enso, Stargate, and LayerZero is pivotal in this endeavor. Enso, the leading provider of blockchain shortcuts, is responsible for DeFi execution and deployment. Stargate, the largest unified liquidity layer, facilitates bridging, while LayerZero ensures seamless and secure message relaying across chains. This unified approach transforms complex multistep transactions into "shortcuts," benefiting both third-party developers and end users.

The migration is expected to set a new standard for cross-chain liquidity movements, demonstrating the practicality of DeFi's composability. By simplifying the process, Enso has added a significant piece to the puzzle, allowing Uniswap LPs to trigger one of the largest liquidity migration events in Ethereum history.

The migration aligns with the broader trend of Ethereum's Layer 2 adoption. According to recent data, Ethereum's Layer 2 solutions have recorded impressive growth, with Unichain leading all EVM chains with 5.8 million active addresses [2]. This growth underscores the increasing interest and usage of Layer 2 networks, which are processing 6.65 times more transactions than Ethereum’s main network.

The migration also coincides with a surge in institutional interest in Ethereum. Recent data shows that institutional whales are accumulating Ethereum again, with a wallet linked to Cumberland withdrawing 27,632 ETH, worth $50.24 million, from Binance, Coinbase, and Copper [2]. Additionally, Ethereum ETFs saw inflows of 31,199 ETH ($55.5 million) and 59,538 ETH ($106.63 million) last week and this week, respectively, indicating rising investor interest.

While some market experts have questioned the authenticity of the reported growth, the migration to Unichain highlights the potential of DeFi's composability and the growing interest in Layer 2 networks.
