Uniswap has officially launched on OKX’s X Layer, giving users a new way to trade crypto with very low costs and zero interface fees.
With this launch, people can now swap tokens, add liquidity, and explore X Layer directly through the Uniswap app, wallet, and API. Everything works inside Uniswap’s usual interface, but now on OKX’s Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 network.
One of the biggest highlights is cost. Swaps on X Layer come with zero interface fees, and transaction costs can be as low as a few cents, sometimes around $0.01. Users also get access to key native markets right away, including xBTC, USDT, USDG, and other major stablecoins.
X Layer itself is built using zkEVM technology and went live in 2024. It’s designed to work closely with the OKX ecosystem, making it easier to move assets and trade without jumping through multiple bridges or networks. For users, that means smoother and faster on-chain activity.
OKX says bringing Uniswap to X Layer adds deep liquidity, strong security, and trading tools that can handle both everyday users and institutions. The goal is to combine the ease of a centralized exchange with the flexibility of decentralized finance.
The response from the crypto community has been mostly positive. Many users are happy about easier access to DeFi, cheaper trades, and smoother execution—especially for OKX’s global user base.
This move also fits right into Uniswap’s bigger plan. The protocol has been expanding across Layer 2 networks to lower costs and improve the user experience, while keeping everything accessible from one place.
The X Layer launch follows several recent Uniswap updates. In late December 2025, governance approved burning 100 million UNI tokens from the treasury and removing interface fees. Uniswap has also been expanding integrations with new networks, hardware wallets like Ledger, and fiat onramps such as Revolut.
In short, Uniswap’s arrival on X Layer means cheaper swaps, easy access to key markets, and more options for users. At the same time, OKX strengthens its Layer 2 offering by adding one of the biggest names in DeFi to its ecosystem.
