Decentralized exchange Uniswap has launched a mobile wallet with built-in support for the exchange, according to the company’s April 13 announcement. The app is available for iOS devices in select countries and can be found in Apple's App Store. The Uniswap team complained on March 3 that Apple blocked the app in its store. But in this new announcement, the team says its wallet "is out of Apple jail and is now available in most countries."
Uniswap said the new wallet allows users to swap tokens on the Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum and Optimism networks. It can also connect to any Ethereum application via WalletConnect. Users can back up their accounts by writing down their seed phrase or by encrypting their keystore with a passphrase and storing them in iCloud.
The Uniswap app also allows users to view details about the non-fungible tokens (NFTs) stored within it, including their reserve prices and favorites. To make getting started with Web3 easier, over the past few years several wallet developers have offered mobile apps with built-in decentralized finance (DeFi) functionality. In 2020, Argent integrated MakerDAO and other DeFi protocols with its wallet app, and 1inch offered a similar integration in 2021.
According to Uniswap’s own analytics page, Uniswap is Ethereum’s largest decentralized cryptocurrency exchange with more than $3.4 billion in total value locked in its smart contracts.
