@Bedrock Pulled up the uniBTC liquidity depth across all 19 chains this morning. The headline says "multi-chain expansion" — Base, Solana, Aptos, Arbitrum, Optimism, the whole list. Looks impressive on the deck.
But here's the thing: 82% of uniBTC liquidity sits on just two chains — Ethereum mainnet and BNB Chain. The other 17 chains combined barely touch 18%. Solana, which they announced with a dedicated blog post and marketing push, holds less than 2% of total uniBTC volume.
Hold up — I checked the actual pool depths on each chain using DefiLlama and on-chain explorers. Some chains — like Avalanche and Polygon — have under $50k in uniBTC liquidity. That's not a "deployment." That's a checkbox. The user experience of moving uniBTC cross-chain via CCIP works technically, but if you land on a thin chain, you're not doing anything meaningful with it.
The gap between "19 chains supported" and "2 chains used" is the quiet part nobody puts in the announcement threads. The infrastructure is there. The liquidity isn't. Not yet.
Watching whether the next expansion focuses on depth or just collects more chain logos.
