X Layer is a zkEVM-based network that went live in 2024 and is designed to work closely with the OKX ecosystem. The network eliminates the hassle of bridging across multiple blockchains, enabling users to trade and transfer assets on-chain.
OKX said the Uniswap integration brings deep liquidity, low transaction costs, and institutional-grade trading infrastructure to X Layer. According to the exchange, swaps on the network can cost as little as a few cents while maintaining established security standards.
For OKX, the launch is part of a wider push to blend centralized exchange access with decentralized trading infrastructure.The community’s response on X has been overwhelmingly positive, with users citing easier access to DeFi products and more seamless on-chain execution for OKX’s worldwide user base.
The deployment aligns with Uniswap’s strategy of expanding across layer 2 networks to reduce costs and improve user experience, while keeping trading accessible through a single interface.
Part of a wider expansion push
The launch follows several recent updates to Uniswap. Governance authorized the burning of 100 million UNI tokens from the treasury and the elimination of interface fees in late December 2025.
Additionally, Uniswap has increased its integration with new networks like Monad, Ledger wallets, and fiat onramps like Revolut.
With X Layer now supported, Uniswap continues to focus on lower-cost trading and easier access across multiple networks, while OKX adds a major DeFi protocol to its layer 2 offering.
