Optimism’s OP was down 6.84% over 24 hours to $0.12548 at 1:25 a.m. ET (05:25 UTC) Oct. 18, extending its seven-day decline to 7.24%.

Taker selling outpaced buying as OP traded near $0.14 in an earlier market snapshot. The Oct. 18 price was below that earlier reading.

Uniswap’s Oct. 9 plan scheduled a phased move of Unichain to Optimism’s OP Enterprise. The plan listed an Oct. 13 testnet migration and an Oct. 29 mainnet migration.

Under the plan, Optimism will run Unichain’s production sequencers, RPC, monitoring and incident response. Unichain’s chain ID, contracts, balances and applications are set to remain unchanged.
