Layer 2 network Unichain adds support for non-EVM assets such as DOGE, XRP, and Zcash.

Unichain, the Ethereum Layer 2 network launched by Uniswap Labs, will begin supporting more non-EVM assets, including Dogecoin, XRP, and Zcash. Uniswap is adding support for these three tokens through a universal protocol that creates cross-chain transferable "uAssets" by minting and burning tokens, allowing for 1:1 exchange with their native versions. Uniswap Labs cautions users against sending these assets to CEXs or wallets that do not support Unichain. These assets are accessible on the Uniswap front-end website and can also be transferred across chains from Unichain's native blockchain.
