Uniswap has launched a license-free bridge across its nine networks for seamless asset transfers. A licenseless bridge, powered by the Acros protocol, improves the speed and security of transactions. Users can now transfer ETH, ARB and stablecoins without relying on external services.
Uniswap has officially launched its long-awaited permissionless bridging feature, which allows users to seamlessly transfer assets across nine blockchain networks from the Uniswap Interface and Uniswap Wallet.
This functionality, powered by the innovative protocol, addresses the complexities of cross-chain transactions that have historically plagued users, such as long waiting times and security risks.
The Acros protocol stands out as the only cross-chain protocol currently in production using a decentralized network of liquidity pools and relays. This unique infrastructure ensures that users can connect assets without requiring permission, increasing both speed and security.
A seamless multi-chain experience for Uniswap users
With the planned release, decentralized exchange users can now perform cross-chain transactions involving native assets such as ETH and ARB as well as stablecoins. Supported networks include Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, ZKSync, Base, Zora, Blast, OP Mainnet and World Chain.
This new in-app bridge feature is one of the most requested improvements from the Uniswap community, reflecting the strong demand for a more integrated cross-chain experience.
Uniswap Labs emphasized their commitment to developing a multi-chain ecosystem, noting that more than six million users participate in multiple chains and that until now, connecting assets required the use of external services that often featured unfamiliar interfaces and long transaction times.
Uniswap's solution aims to simplify this process, enabling fast and secure transactions in seconds rather than minutes.
Uniswap's new bridge functionality is part of its broader vision to create a seamless multichain experience for users. The company recently introduced UniChain, a new layer-2 solution designed to address challenges in the DeFi space, further strengthening its commitment to innovation in cross-chain liquidity.
As Uniswap continues to release new features, users are encouraged to explore the platform's enhanced capabilities by downloading the Uniswap Wallet or accessing the Uniswap interface. This move is a major step towards making decentralized finance more accessible and efficient.
