Uniswap has gone live on X Layer, the Ethereum-compatible layer-2 network developed by crypto exchange OKX, marking a significant step in the exchange’s decentralized finance expansion. The integration allows users to access Uniswap liquidity pools and token markets directly on X Layer, with transactions settled at layer-2 costs.
X Layer, launched in 2024, serves as the infrastructure backbone for OKX’s DeFi applications and is closely integrated with the exchange’s wallet and trading platform. By embedding Uniswap as the network’s primary decentralized exchange, OKX aims to connect its centralized user base with onchain liquidity and trading activity.
The move reflects a broader industry trend where centralized exchanges deploy proprietary layer-2 networks to deepen DeFi participation. Similar strategies have been pursued by competitors including Coinbase and Gate.io, underscoring intensifying competition to capture onchain trading volumes.
