Uniswap Labs has unveiled an innovative feature enabling users to transfer assets across nine blockchain networks directly through its platform. This functionality removes the need for external services, ensuring faster and more secure cross-chain transactions.
Simplifying Cross-Chain Transactions
Traditionally, moving assets between blockchains required third-party bridges, which often came with complex interfaces, slow processing times, and security risks. Uniswap’s new in-app bridging eliminates these hurdles. Users can now transfer native tokens and stablecoins seamlessly, without leaving the Uniswap Interface or Wallet.
With a community of over six million active users, this upgrade reflects Uniswap’s commitment to enhancing the multi-chain experience and driving adoption.
Powered by Across Protocol
The bridging feature is powered by Across Protocol, a decentralized and permissionless platform that leverages liquidity pools and relayers for rapid transactions. Unlike traditional solutions, Across Protocol ensures transfers settle in seconds while addressing security challenges.
At launch, the feature supports transfers on nine networks, including:
- Ethereum
- Base
- Arbitrum
- Polygon
- Optimism (OP Mainnet)
- Zora
- Blast
- World Chain
- ZKsync
Users can bridge only native tokens like ETH and ARB or stablecoins. The streamlined process involves selecting the asset, choosing the target network, and confirming the transaction—all within the Uniswap interface.
Driving a Multi-Chain Future
Uniswap’s in-app bridging represents a major step toward a seamless multi-chain ecosystem. By addressing key pain points like complexity and security risks, Uniswap solidifies its role as a leader in decentralized finance innovation.
Looking forward, the team plans to expand features to further enhance cross-chain interactions. This aligns with their mission to empower users in an increasingly interconnected blockchain world.
