Uniswap and Ledger collaborate to improve DeFi access by enabling seamless token swaps from self-custody

Uniswap Labs and Ledger have integrated Uniswap’s trading API with Ledger Live, enabling token swaps from self-custody wallets. This new functionality streamlines decentralized financial (DeFi) transactions while providing safe, human-readable transaction signatures. The connection, which is first available on Ethereum’s desktop, intends to provide DeFi aficionados with improved simplicity and security.

Uniswap Labs and Ledger have announced a new integration that would enhance user experience with DeFi. The new agreement enables customers to transfer tokens directly through Ledger Live while maintaining control over their assets in secure Ledger hardware wallets. This integration adds Uniswap’s trading API to the Ledger Live platform, enabling easy and safe token swaps without the use of third-party services or hot wallets.

The integration provides “clear signing,” which ensures transactions are completely transparent and human-readable. This eliminates the uncertainty associated with blind-signing transactions, offering consumers peace of mind by allowing them to inspect transaction information prior to confirmation. The Ledger hardware wallet ensures that users’ valuables are secure throughout the process.

Initially restricted to Ethereum-based coins, this integration aims to expand to mobile devices and other blockchain networks in the future. The goal is to make DeFi more accessible while still providing the integrity and security that users demand from self-custody wallets.

Mary-Catherine Lader of Uniswap Labs and Ian Rogers of Ledger both stressed that this partnership is part of a larger effort to simplify the self-custody experience and unlock value in the DeFi area. With this integration, customers can conduct safe token swaps directly from Ledger Live, a significant step forward in DeFi accessibility.
