Pheasant Integrates Unichain: Bridging ETH and USDC to a Powerful New Layer 2

We’re excited to announce our latest mainnet network integration — and it’s a big one. For the first time in a while, Pheasant is adding a brand-new network to our supported lineup, and it’s none other than Unichain. Even better, this integration supports not just ETH, but also USDC right from day one.

This milestone expands Pheasant’s multi-chain bridging capabilities and opens up new opportunities for users to move assets quickly, securely, and cost-effectively. Whether you’re bridging ETH for DeFi activity or USDC for stablecoin use cases, you can now seamlessly connect with the Unichain ecosystem in just a few clicks.

Unichain is a next-generation Layer 2 blockchain built to push Ethereum’s scalability, user experience, and developer ecosystem to new heights. Designed with performance and accessibility in mind, Unichain offers:

• Ultra-low transaction fees powered by advanced rollup technology.
• High throughput that can handle high-demand dApps without congestion.
• Seamless Ethereum compatibility so developers can deploy with minimal changes.

But Unichain’s mission goes beyond simply scaling Ethereum. The network is built to connect ecosystems and empower projects with the tools they need to onboard the next wave of Web3 users.

How Unichain Stands Out

While there’s no shortage of Ethereum Layer 2 solutions today, Unichain differentiates itself in key ways:

• Optimized for cross-ecosystem integration — fostering connections not only within Ethereum, but across chains and application layers.
• Developer-first approach — offering rich documentation, dedicated support, and a growing set of native developer tools.
• Community-driven growth — prioritizing governance participation and shared value creation across stakeholders.

By combining these values with strong technical performance, Unichain is positioning itself as a Layer 2 that not only scales Ethereum, but also expands its reach.

To celebrate this integration, we’re kicking off an exclusive Unichain Bridge Campaign on the Pheasant Quest Platform — our recently launched gamified engagement hub.

Here’s how it works:

• Bridge ETH or USDC to Unichain using Pheasant during the campaign period.
• Complete campaign quests and community interactions.
• Get Pheasant Points, which can boost your rankings and unlock future rewards.

This isn’t just about bridging assets — it’s about becoming part of an emerging ecosystem from the start. In collaboration with multiple projects within the Unichain ecosystem, we’ll be rolling out co-branded quests, joint campaigns, and community events to give you even more ways to get involved.

Whether you’re a seasoned DeFi user or someone curious about trying a new network, this is your chance to be among the early adopters who shape Unichain’s growth.

This integration is just one step in our ongoing mission to connect the most exciting networks in Web3. Over the coming months, Pheasant will continue adding high-potential chains that expand possibilities for users, developers, and communities alike.

We’re also preparing to share details on one of the most significant milestones in Pheasant’s history — coming within the next few months. Trust us, you won’t want to miss it.

The best way to keep up with our latest integrations, campaigns, and updates is to join our communities, X, Discord and Telegram.

This is only the beginning for Pheasant x Unichain. Start bridging, start exploring, and start exciting — the future of cross-chain is just getting started.

Pheasant Network leverages intent-based bridging and an advanced cross-chain swap protocol to connect 30+ blockchain networks with speed and efficiency. By seamlessly connecting fragmented blockchain ecosystems while preserving security, we enhance interoperability and streamline cross-chain interactions.

A community-driven project, we focus on contributing long-term value to the blockchain ecosystem and serving the public good.
