Uniswap Launches Wallet Extension

Uniswap has unveiled three new tools aimed at simplifying the process of transferring funds and trading crypto for users:

Key Features:

1. Uniswap Wallet Extension: This browser extension simplifies the process of swapping digital assets, signing transactions, and buying and selling crypto online.
2. Limit Orders: This feature allows users to set a specific price at which they want to trade tokens, automatically executing the transaction when the token reaches the designated price.
3. Data and Information Page: This page provides detailed charts, pool data, transaction logs, and other integrated information for traders.

The limit order and data page features will be available starting today. However, for the Uniswap Wallet Extension, users need to join a waitlist by claiming a username (uni.eth) and wait for access, which will be granted within four to six weeks.

Callil Capuozzo, a representative from Uniswap Labs, shared:

"For a long time, we have aimed to build Uniswap into a complete swapping home. We believe the new features will be beneficial to users. We hope everyone enjoys the web version, mobile app, and the newly launched extension.”

Recent Developments

Uniswap has been quite active in recent weeks. Just five days ago, the project proposed a change in its fee structure on the DEX, aiming to share revenue with UNI token holders. Following this significant move, the price of UNI surged nearly 80%, reaching its highest level since January 2022.

Uniswap is also gearing up for the highly anticipated launch of version V4, expected to debut in Q3 2024. The most anticipated change in V4 is the introduction of "Hooks," a mechanism that allows developers to customize liquidity pools, trading fees, and support new types of trading orders.

Additionally, the project is implementing several refinements in smart contracts, market-making mechanisms, on-chain oracles, and limit orders. Overall, V4 aims to optimize user experience and address the benefits for liquidity providers (LPs).
