Uniswap Launches Chrome Wallet Extension After Six-Month Wait

Uniswap Labs has officially launched its wallet browser extension for Google Chrome after a wait of over six months, during which more than 793,000 users joined the waitlist.

This new tool allows Uniswap wallet users to perform on-chain activities, such as token swaps, across 11 different networks, including Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum.

This move expands Uniswap’s offerings, which already include the leading decentralized exchange with $2.4 billion in daily trading volume and $5.6 billion in total value locked.

Say goodbye to pop-ups. And hello to the sidebar.

With nearly a million users now able to access the new storage solution, Uniswap Labs is positioning itself strongly in the competitive market of crypto storage and trading.

The release comes amidst a wave of new features from other wallet providers. Coinbase recently launched a platform to manage wallets and on-chain portfolios, while Block, founded by Jack Dorsey, teamed up with MoonPay for Bitcoin purchases.

Additionally, MetaMask has integrated enhanced security features and introduced direct Ethereum validator staking.

These developments reflect the growing competition among wallet providers to innovate and attract the next billion users in the web3 space, as blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies continue to capture global attention.
