Unicore

UniCore is a next-generation, cross-chain DeFi protocol designed to unify liquidity and enable seamless, privacy-preserving token swaps across major Ethereum Layer-2 networks (including Ethereum mainnet, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism). UniCore solves the problem of liquidity fragmentation and inefficient routing by combining three core innovations: Unified Liquidity Layer: UniCore aggregates liquidity across multiple chains, allowing users to swap tokens as if all liquidity existed on a single network. This means users get the best rates and lowest slippage, regardless of which chain their assets are on. AI-Powered Routing Engine: The protocol uses machine learning (TensorFlow.js) to analyze real-time on-chain data and optimize swap routes. The AI engine finds the best path for each swap, minimizing gas fees and slippage, and can even suggest privacy-enhanced routes. Zero-Knowledge Proof-Based Cross-Chain State Verification: UniCore leverages zk-SNARKs (via Circom/snarkjs and a custom ZKVerifier contract) to enable privacy-preserving, trustless, and secure cross-chain swaps. This means users can swap assets across chains without revealing sensitive transaction details or relying on centralized bridges. Decentralized Solver Network: Instead of a centralized relayer, UniCore uses a network of “solvers” who stake tokens and compete to fulfill cross-chain swap intents. Solvers are incentivized based on speed, efficiency, and security, and their reputation is tracked on-chain. Conversational, User-Friendly Frontend: The frontend is a modern Next.js (React + TypeScript) app with wallet connect, a chat-driven swap assistant (powered by Google Gemini LLM), and a dashboard for both users and solvers. Users can interact with the protocol via a conversational interface, making DeFi accessible to everyone.
