2/ UniswapX is next-level aggregation 💪 It outsources the complexity of routing to an open network of fillers who compete to fill swaps at the best prices. Read the details in our whitepaper:

3/ What does this mean for swappers? As a competitive ecosystem of fillers forms, it will bring: 💸 Better prices ⛽  Gas-free swapping 🤝 MEV protection 🤩 No cost for failed transactions 👀 Gas-free cross-chain swaps (coming soon)

4/ How is it gas free? ⛽ 🆓 Swappers sign an offchain order, which is submitted onchain by fillers who pay gas on swappers’ behalf to complete the transaction 🔏 Swappers don’t need a chain’s native token to trade and don’t have to pay for failed transactions 🔥🔥

5/ And what about MEV protection? 👊 MEV is one of the biggest issues facing onchain swapping today. With UniswapX, MEV that would be left on the table and captured by an arbitrage transaction is instead returned to swappers through improved prices 💰

6/ Cross-chain too? 😮‍💨 Later this year, we’ll launch a cross-chain UniswapX that combines swapping and bridging into one action ⚔️ Swappers will be able to swap between chains in seconds 💨 This includes native asset swaps, reducing the need for bridged tokens.

7/ UniswapX is built into the same interface you know and love, with the same principles of security, self-custody, and community that make Uniswap the most trusted name in DeFi 🦄 As always, our code has been extensively tested & audited 🔒

8/ The opt-in beta is live today! Because we’re in beta, most orders will still go through classic routing. As more fillers enter the system and parameterization is tuned, more trades will route through UniswapX. Check it out here:

I like the opensource part. Way to go! What's the differences between this and @CoWSwap solvers?

zkgm to $U all! as you may know, Union announced its BTCfi Flywheel Point Campaign a few days ago. this program rewards users with points for actions like bridging, providing liquidity through Union. basically, you bring value — Union gives you hourly points in return. the points increase depending on the LST you use, the bridging method, the pool you provided liquidity etc. so, i made a quick tutorial video to help you earn the maximum possible point multiplier in this campaign. but before we jump into the video, let’s take a look at what we’ll need: - $ETH on Ethereum ( $USDT, $USDC, or $DAI also work, but ETH is still needed for gas fees ) - $BABY on Babylon Genesis chain by the end of the video, we’ll have added liquidity to two different uniBTC/eBABY pools on Tower, which is a native DEX on Babylon Genesis. let’s get started. #UnionBTCfiFlywheel 00:00 - go to and make a deposit to receive uniBTC. 00:28 - head over to and bridge your uniBTC from Ethereum to Babylon Genesis using Union. this process can take 15–20 minutes depending on Ethereum finality. 01:32 - use to liquid stake your BABY and receive eBABY in return. 01:55 - add liquidity to the uniBTC/eBABY pools on Tower. since these pools currently have very low liquidity, you can only add in small amounts. that’s why i added liquidity in several smaller batches. by doing this, we followed the most optimal path to earn points. you can see the Union point multipliers next to each pool on the Tower interface. currently, there are 3 pools with a 2.5x multiplier, two of them are the ones we added liquidity to. the other one includes pumpBTC, feel free to try that as well. more liquidity for other Union-bridged BTC LSTs will be available over time.
