Uniswap
(UNI)
Labs
has
announced
the
release
of
its
new
browser
extension,
designed
to
offer
a
seamless
self-custody
crypto
experience
directly
within
the
browser
sidebar.
According
to

Uniswap
Protocol,
over
700,000

Revolutionizing
User
Experience

The
Uniswap
Extension
aims
to
streamline
the
process
of
interacting
with
onchain
applications.
It
eliminates
the
need
for
pop-up
windows,
enabling
users
to
swap,
sign
transactions,
and
manage
their
crypto
assets
directly
from
the
browser
sidebar.
The
extension
is
designed
with
simplicity,
security,
and
ease
of
use
in
mind,
offering
features
like
easy-to-understand
signature
requests
and
a
streamlined
transaction
request
queue.

Seamless
Integration
and
Security
Features

The
extension
integrates
seamlessly
with
other
Uniswap
products,
providing
shortcuts
to
the
Uniswap
web
app’s
‘Buy
Crypto’
feature
and
direct
access
to
price
charts
and
token
data
through
Uniswap
Explore.
Furthermore,
the
extension
supports
multiple
networks,
including
Ethereum,
Base,
Arbitrum,
Optimism,
Polygon,
Blast,
ZKsync,
Zora
Network,
BNB
Chain,
Avalanche,
and
Celo.
It
features
Auto
Network
functionality,
automatically
switching
chains
based
on
the
application
in
use,
thus
eliminating
the
need
for
manual
network
approvals.

Commitment
to
Security

Security
is
a
top
priority
for
Uniswap.
The
extension
has
undergone
audits
by
Trail
of
Bits,
and
its

code
is
available
for
public
review
on
GitHub.
Uniswap
advises
users
to
practice
caution
when
managing
assets
and
signing
transactions,
providing
additional
guidance
on
crypto
security
and
scam
prevention.

now
available

can
add
the
extension
from
the

up
their
