Background

Unipilot experienced significant growth following its expansion to Polygon in October 2022. In November, Unipilot TVL increased +240%, revenue rose +265% and the number of active positions surged more than +700%.

Arbitrum Time!

Now its time to take this a step further. We are excited to announce that Unipilot is NOW LIVE on Arbitrum, a Layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum.

Arbitrum is currently the fourth-largest chain by TVL, ahead of both Polygon and Optimism. In terms of 24hr volume, however, it is currently in second place behind only Ethereum!

With our expansion, you can now use Unipilot to manage and optimize Uniswap v3 liquidity on Arbitrum, benefitting from the high volume-to-TVL ratio on the network.

As a reminder, Unipilot will select the optimal range for your capital, autocompound earned fees back into active liquidity regularly and rebalance your position (Active vaults) when necessary.

Which vaults are available?

The following Actively-managed vaults are live now. These pairs were selected due to their popularity on Uniswap v3.

Additional vaults will be added in the coming days and weeks, including Narrow and Wide variants, and users can still add any pair as a Community vault at any time. We are also working on some Arbitrum partnerships!

Improved Strategy

With our expansion to Arbitrum we have also launched a new, improved strategy tool for Unipilot. This smarter tool takes into account more data when backtesting and runs numerous scenarios in search of the most profitable range with consideration of fees earned and impermanent loss.

Full technical details will be added to the Litepaper shortly.
