– X Layer (@XLayerOfficial) January 16, 2026

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. Because nothing says “I’m a blockchain enthusiast” like spending hours bridging tokens between chains. 🌐

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. Because who needs a security system when you can just hope for the best? 🔐

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. Because nothing says “I’m a loyal customer” like praising a platform for being “seamless.” 🤯

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. Because who doesn’t want to trade crypto with the simplicity of a child’s toy? 🧸

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. Because what’s better than burning tokens and calling it a “strategic move”? 🔥

Additionally, Uniswap has increased its integration with new networks like Monad, Ledger wallets, and fiat onramps like Revolut. Because why stop at one blockchain when you can have a dozen? 🌍

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. Because nothing says “I’m a financial genius” like adding a DeFi protocol to your layer 2. 🧠
