The Polkadot team announced via X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday that the decentralized exchange Uniswap has finally launched on the Polkadot blockchain via Moonbeam. This comes after months of anticipation and planning.
Thanks to this latest development, Polkadot users can tap into the power of Uniswap V3 contracts through a new, easy-to-use interface from OKU Trade, featuring order books, charts, order history and other features.
Uniswap provides users with a trustless, permissionless, and non-custodial way to access tokens. Moonbeam is a layer-1 Polkadot parachain that provides full EVM compatibility, native interoperability, and prioritizes secure cross-chain integration solutions.
Polkadot facilitates cross-chain communication and interoperability by connecting multiple blockchains into one unified network. DOT, the native token of Polkadot, is down by 1% so far today and is trading at $4.030 at press time.
Uniswap is a decentralized exchange protocol built on Ethereum. To be more precise, it is an automated liquidity protocol. There is no order book or any centralized party required to make trades. UNI, the native token of Uniswap, is currently trading at $4.275, down by 1% in the last 24 hours.
