DEX Platform Uniswap Rolls Out Android App With Swap Feature

Popular Ethereum-based decentralized exchange (DEX) platform Uniswap has finally released its Android mobile wallet app to the public.

Making the announcement on X (formerly Twitter), the automated market maker (AMM) protocol stated that the app is now available for all Android-powered devices on the Google Play Store.

In addition, the new Android app will come fully powered with the exchange or swap function. This will allow users to exchange digital tokens on the Ethereum-powered blockchain protocol without resorting to a separate web extension on their computer.

Moreover, users will be able to swap all cryptocurrencies on eight different blockchain networks, including Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and four others. The decentralized cryptocurrency exchange plans to add more protocols in the future.

Users will also see their swaps protected via a maximal extractable value (MEV) blocker. This will place transactions in private pools, making it hard for bad actors and bots to engage in frontrunning and sandwich attacks.

Other add-on features include push notifications on every new transaction as well as the ability to view their balances in six new languages and get their balance values in 18 different fiat currencies.

Furthermore, crypto investors will be able to autonomously discover new tokens similar to the web platform, as well as follow their preferred Web3 traders and community leads.

To kickstart a push for an Android mobile wallet app, a beta version was released on October 12.

According to the announcement, the beta wallet app allows users to select tokens on different blockchain networks without the need to switch protocols.

This is because the mobile wallet app automatically detects the blockchain network the digital token is operating on without the user manually selecting it.

“WEN ANDROID?” How about now? 🔥🔥🔥

With the official public release now underway, Uniswap has informed its beta testers to update their existing app and continue swapping their tokens.

Brevis Integrates With Uniswap

Founded in 2018 by Hayden Adams, Uniswap is the largest AMM protocol in the fast-growing Web3 economy.

Operating in the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape, the platform allows users to trade different tokens in a permissionless manner using smart contracts.

Currently, Uniswap boasts a substantial $3 billion in smart contracts, with the UNI token serving as both its protocol power and governance tool.

This strong market appeal and industry know-how have made it a huge attraction for upcoming solutions in the blockchain ecosystem.

One such is the Brevis platform, which has recently announced an integration with the Uniswap protocol.

According to a post on X, Brevis enables users to unlock better credit scores through their on-chain activities.

Integrating Brevis with @Uniswap V4 Hooks opens up a whole new world of data-driven #DEX experiences, giving centralized exchanges a real run for their money. But it’s not just exchanges that can benefit from Brevis.

Given Uniswap’s V4 Hooks, decentralized platforms can easily issue cryptocurrency loans to traders using data from their on-chain activities.
