We’re excited to announce XION’s integration with Union, which will bring XION’s user-friendly functionality to the Union network’s growing list of connected chains, reducing friction in the web3 user experience and paving the way for wide-spread consumer adoption.
With this integration, Union establishes its commitment to Chain Abstraction as a key pathway for onboarding users to Web3. XION’s walletless L1—which enshrines chain abstraction at the protocol level through native Account Abstraction, Signature Abstraction, Pricing Abstraction, and more—is a leader in the UX-first design. By integrating the XION, users on all Union-connected chains will gain access to powerful new capabilities alongside Union’s fast, low-cost, and secure ZK-powered transaction and message passing functionality.
Bringing Chain Abstraction to Web3
Everyone agrees that Web3 has a user experience problem. One only has to watch new users navigate the maze of wallet options, gas tokens, siloed applications, and slow transaction speeds to know why Chain Abstraction has become such a big focus. To reach the consumer adoption of CeFi or Web2 incumbents, Web3 needs to provide a user experience at least as good, if not better.
As one of the most interconnected Chain Abstraction L1s, XION’s mission to bring simplified web3 user experiences to the masses aligns with Union’s goal to foster secure trust-minimized interactions across a diverse and growing blockchain network. This integration will also reduce fragmentation across ecosystems without compromising on security, decentralization, or efficiency.
XION brings a host of Chain Abstraction-related improvements to Web3, all enshrined at the protocol level. These include walletless access to Web3, zero gas fees, and instant finality across integrated chains. Developers will be able to utilize these powerful tools alongside Union’s interconnected base layer to build consumer-ready applications that are more user-friendly and streamlined than ever before.
Together, this integration will facilitate seamless cross-chain interactions, enabling users to effortlessly access a wide range of web3 applications and services, irrespective of the underlying blockchain network.
Simplified UX for Every Chain
With a focus on user-friendly functionality and an eye toward onboarding new users to Web3, XION is an excellent integration partner to further expand the Union network. Building on integrations with ecosystems such as Arbitrum, Berachain, the Agglayer, Native, Scroll, and Movement, XION represents another step in spreading hyper-efficient, scalable, and secure interoperability throughout Web3.
