Summary

Uniswap Labs announced its Ethereum Layer-2 network Unichain now supports Dogecoin (DOGE), Ripple’s XRP, and Zcash (ZEC) through the Universal protocol, allowing 1:1 redemption of uAssets across chains. The update expands interoperability beyond EVM-compatible assets and includes a caution to users not to send these assets to unsupported centralized exchanges or wallets. This follows previous Solana integration and enhances Unichain’s cross-ecosystem asset bridging capabilities via Uniswap’s frontend.
