Decentralized exchange Uniswap has launched in-app, permissionless cross-chain bridging for its users, with service available across nine blockchain networks.
On Oct. 23, the Uniswap (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://crypto.news/price/uniswap/">UNI</a>) team <a href="https://blog.uniswap.org/permissionless-bridging-is-now-live" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced</a> that its permissionless cross-chain bridge was now live, bringing the DEX protocol closer to enabling cross-chain swaps. The cross-chain intents protocol, Across Protocol, powers this in-app Uniswap bridging feature, according to the announcement.

With the launch, Uniswap users can now undertake cross-chain transactions across nine networks. These include Ethereum (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/">ETH</a>), Arbitrum (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://crypto.news/price/arbitrum/">ARB</a>) Polygon (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://crypto.news/price/pol-ex-matic/">POL</a>) and ZKSync (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://crypto.news/price/zksync/">ZK</a>). Other networks with initial support are Base, Zora, Blast, OP Mainnet and World Chain.
The feature only supports native assets, such as ETH on the Ethereum network or ARB on the Arbitrum network. Bridging will also be available for stablecoins. In terms of functionality, users will perform cross-chain transactions directly via their Uniswap interface and Uniswap Wallet.
According to <a href="https://dune.com/queries/3348183/5611031" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">data from Dune</a>, multi-chain access currently has a cumulative count of over six million Uniswap users. However, cross-chain bridge swaps remain low. The Uniswap Labs team aims to significantly increase this number.
