Initially announced in February, the Uniswap Wallet extension has already amassed a substantial waiting list of 793,391 users.
Similar to MetaMask and other self-custody wallets, the Uniswap Wallet extension enables users to seamlessly manage their assets directly from their web browsers. It facilitates functionalities such as sending, receiving, purchasing, and swapping various tokens and altcoins.
Anticipation Grows for Uniswap v4
Integrated with other Uniswap products, the extension features shortcuts to the Uniswap web app’s ‘Buy Crypto’ feature and provides one-click access to price charts and token data via Uniswap Explore. It supports multiple blockchains including Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Blast, ZKsync, Zora Network, BNB Chain, Avalanche, and Celo, consolidating all tokens across networks in one interface.
Looking ahead, Uniswap Labs is gearing up to launch version 4 (v4) in the third quarter of 2024. The update introduces “Hooks,” enabling customization of liquidity pools, transaction fees, and the addition of new trading order types. The improvements in smart contracts, market-making mechanisms, on-chain oracles, and support for limit orders aim to enhance user experience and optimize benefits for liquidity providers (LPs).
