Decentralized exchange Uniswap has announced the launch of a mobile wallet that features built-in support for the exchange. The app is now available for iOS devices in selected countries and can be found in Apple’s App Store.

Uniswap’s new wallet allows users to swap tokens on various networks such as Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism. Additionally, it can be connected to any Ethereum app through WalletConnect.

Mobile Wallets with Built-in DeFi Functions

To make Web3 onboarding easier, several wallet developers have offered mobile apps with built-in decentralized finance (DeFi) functions over the past few years. In 2020, Argent integrated MakerDAO and other DeFi protocols with its wallet app, and 1inch provided similar integrations in 2021.

Uniswap’s Dominance in the Decentralized Exchange Space

Uniswap is Ethereum’s largest decentralized crypto exchange, with over $3.4 billion of total value locked inside its smart contracts, according to its own analytics page. Uniswap’s liquidity has been steadily growing, and as of April 2021, it had over $5 billion in total value locked, according to DeFi Pulse.

Uniswap’s Availability in Select Countries

Cointelegraph reached out to the Uniswap team for a list of countries where the app is available, but as of the time of publication, there was no response.
