The integration, confirmed in a January 16 post on X, allows users to swap tokens, provide liquidity, and explore X Layer markets directly via the Uniswap web app, wallet, and trading API. The move strengthens Uniswap’s multi-chain strategy while giving OKX users easier access to decentralized finance tools.
Zero fees and access to native markets
At launch, Uniswap is offering zero interface fees on X Layer, significantly reducing swap costs across its platforms. Users can immediately trade key assets such as USDG and other major stablecoins, as well as native markets like xBTC and USDT.
OKX said the integration delivers deep liquidity, low transaction fees, often just a few cents per swap and institutional-grade infrastructure, while maintaining strong security standards. The exchange added that bringing Uniswap to X Layer supports its broader goal of merging centralized exchange access with decentralized trading capabilities.
The rollout has received positive feedback from the crypto community on X, with users highlighting smoother on-chain execution and easier access to DeFi products for OKX’s global user base.
Part of Uniswap’s broader expansion strategy
The X Layer deployment follows a series of recent upgrades across the Uniswap ecosystem. In late December 2025, Uniswap governance approved burning 100 million UNI tokens from its treasury and removing interface fees across its platforms.
Uniswap has also expanded integrations with emerging networks like Monad, added support for Ledger wallets, and strengthened fiat onramps through partners such as Revolut. Uniswap also added Solana support, enabling direct Solana token swaps within its Web App.
With X Layer now supported, Uniswap continues to prioritize lower trading costs and seamless multi-network access, while OKX enhances its layer-2 offering by adding one of DeFi’s largest protocols.
