Uniswap Goes Live on OKX’s X Layer as Preferred DEX Partner
Summary
Uniswap has integrated with OKX's X Layer, an Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible layer-2 blockchain launched in 2024, establishing itself as the network's preferred decentralized exchange (DEX). This integration grants X Layer users access to Uniswap's token pairs and liquidity pools, executing swaps at layer-2 costs without fees from Uniswap Labs. OKX founder and CEO Star Xu stated this is a core part of the exchange's second phase rollout, focusing on integrating major DeFi protocols. This move mirrors a broader trend where centralized exchanges leverage L2 chains to connect onchain activity with their user bases, similar to Coinbase's Base and Gate.io's Gate Layer, aiming to boost activity and liquidity for Uniswap.
