⚡ Uniswap Extension Now Open to All Users
posted 16 Jul 2024
Uniswap, the decentralized exchange, officially released its Uniswap Extension browser add-on to the public. This extension serves as a non-custodial wallet with an integrated swap feature located on the browser's sidebar, rather than the usual pop-up window.
The extension supports 11 blockchains, including Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, and Polygon, and can automatically switch networks based on the application in use. The developers have also improved transaction descriptions for enhanced user comprehension.
The Uniswap Extension is compatible with any Chromium browser. Users can access it though a new or existing seed phrase, or by scanning a code with the Uniswap mobile app. The extension ensures that all swaps are protected from common sandwich attacks or frontrunning.
The source code has been externally audited and is open for inspection by other developers and security professionals. Nonetheless, the Uniswap team advises users to stay cautious and thoroughly verify all signed transactions to prevent asset loss.
