Uniswap reveals wallet browser extension and other tools for easier cryptocurrency transactions

Uniswap UNI +0.25% is launching three tools to facilitate easier cryptocurrency transfers. 

The first is Uniswap Extension, a wallet extension inside a browser sidebar that streamlines swapping digital assets, signing transactions and trading crypto online. The other tools are Limit Orders, which automatically execute's a user's transaction when a token reaches a certain price, and Data Insight pages displaying charts, pool data, transaction logs and other pertinent information for traders. 

Limit Orders and Data Insight pages launch today. Users must join the Uniswap Extension waitlist by claiming a uni.eth username and expect access to the tool in four to six weeks, according to a company spokesperson. 

"For a long time, we've wanted to build Uniswap into a complete home for swapping. We think these new features are a powerful articulation of what it means to deliver on meeting users where they are," said Callil Capuozzo, Vice President of Design at Uniswap Labs. "We're especially excited to join the world of extensions. Our extension is designed for the swapper in a way that others aren't, and as we build out this platform we expect people will be able to move seamlessly from the web to extension to mobile app and see what they already know and love across all three."

The move comes after Uniswap Foundation proposed changes to its fee structure to reward UNI stakers and delegators, The Block previously reported. Launched on Feb. 23, uni.eth usernames make Ethereum addresses readable to humans.
