What will the advanced version of Web3 offer?

The Uniswap Web Extension is introducing a new way to interact with digital assets directly from a browser sidebar. It will streamline the process of swapping digital assets, signing transactions and trading.

Uniswaps Labs shared through an X post,

“Let’s be real — most wallet extensions are stuck in the past, with old UX paradigms and clunky onboarding flows,” said Uniswap on social media. “That’s why we built our own.”

After the announcement of the release, the Uniswap team shared various follow-up posts explaining the features, differentiators, and benefits for users.

“With Uniswap Extension you’ll be able to swap, sign transactions, and send or receive crypto anywhere on the web,” said Uniswap. “Everything is right there in your sidebar — exactly where you need it to be.”

Moreover, the Uniswap platform introduced a waitlist for users interested in the beta version of its browser extension. The users will get access based on the order in which they claim their uni(dot)eth usernames. Notifications about waitlist status will be provided through the Uniswap mobile application.

Understanding Limit Orders 

The latest update also includes a feature facilitating Limit Orders. This advanced feature will allow users to automate buying or selling crypto at prespecified prices.

This feature is designed to execute trades when the market hits a user-defined price or it allows the order to expire if the desired price is not achieved within the specified duration, which is generally a year. UniswapX supports this feature by eliminating gas fees for setting up and completing limit orders.

Enhancement of Analytical Capabilities and Charts

The integration of updated token detail pages and new pool detail pages into its web app will also enhance its analytical capabilities. These additions will offer real-time charts, transaction logs, pool data, and comprehensive project information. These features will seamlessly integrate into the swapping process.

These new features will allow users to conduct in-depth research, access critical market data, and engage in direct transactions from these detailed pages.

Conclusion: Impact of Advancements

Uniswap is not only allowing users to swap; rather, it is helping them swap smartly with an advanced platform. Moreover, it will enable more informed swapping with a faster and safer platform.

As Uniswap rightly stated, “We aren’t just helping people swap,” stated Uniswap. “We’re helping them swap smarter with a unified platform that enables faster, safer, more informed swapping.”
