OKX announced today that it will fully integrate Uniswap Labs’ trading API into OKX, enabling the execution of the UniswapX protocol directly on the OKX DEX interface. This integration allows users to intuitively and quickly exchange tokens on the Ethereum network without paying gas fees.
On March 1st, OKX, a leading Web3 technology company, and trusted DeFi company Uniswap Labs jointly announced that OKX has become one of the first important builders to fully integrate Uniswap Labs’ trading API into its own products.
This integration mainly refers to the launch of the Intent Trading mode on the OKX DEX, which aggregates more liquidity through UniswapX. The Intent Trading mode on OKX DEX allows users to exchange tokens on the Ethereum network quickly and intuitively without paying any gas fees. The Intent feature is executed through Uniswap Labs’ UniswapX protocol directly on the OKX DEX interface. UniswapX is a permissionless open-source protocol used for trading between public and private Automated Market Makers (AMMs) and other liquidity sources.
The protocol aims to provide users with better prices by offering new liquidity and gas-free swaps. Additionally, the protocol eliminates costs associated with failed transactions and prevents Maximum Extractable Value (MEV).
The OKX wallet also integrates Uniswap, allowing users to log into their OKX wallets directly from the Uniswap interface by clicking “Launch App” and “Connect Wallet”. Users who log in through Uniswap can exchange tokens, trade NFTs, purchase cryptocurrencies, earn income by contributing to liquidity pools, and use their OKX wallet assets on Uniswap to build DApps.
The unique design of UniswapX enhances the reliability and security of DeFi transactions while optimizing prices. OKX’s Web3 users can choose the “Intent Mode” in the “Trading Mode” section of the OKX DEX platform to trade using the UniswapX protocol.
This integration provides a comprehensive decentralized financial experience, enhancing the reliability and security of decentralized exchanges and providing users with a more intuitive trading experience.
Jason Lau, Chief Innovation Officer of OKX, stated:
Mary-Catherine Lader, COO of Uniswap Labs, stated, “Uniswap Labs’ smart contract expertise has transformed the blockchain-based market. UniswapX brings the benefits of on-chain trading to more users and is crucial to expanding this foundation. We are excited to bring deeper liquidity and gas savings to OKX users and open up a new future for cross-chain transactions.”
In addition to the Intent Trading feature, OKX DEX also allows users to exchange and bridge tokens through its “Smart” trading mode feature. This feature utilizes OKX’s “X Routing” smart aggregator algorithm, which identifies the best trading path among more than 400 DEXs, considering prices, slippage, and network fees in multi-chain and cross-chain scenarios.
Furthermore, thanks to the Ethereum EIP-6963 upgrade, OKX users will be able to conveniently connect their wallets in the Uniswap interface. This change applies to all browser extension wallets and significantly improves the user’s interaction experience. Users can now connect their OKX wallets directly to the Uniswap interface by clicking “Launch App” and then “Connect Wallet”. After connecting to Uniswap, users can exchange tokens, NFTs, purchase cryptocurrencies, earn income through liquidity pools, and use their OKX wallet assets on Uniswap to build DApps.
