IoTeX x Unifi Protocol - uTrade v2 Launches on August 11

We are excited to announce the next phase of our partnership with Unifi Protocol, a leading DeFi protocol that leverages non-custodial smart contracts to provide building blocks for next-gen DeFi. As IoTeX rapidly expands our ecosystem with new partners, we are also proud to see our existing partners push the industry forward with ever-evolving innovations.

After launching uTrade v1 on IoTeX in March 2021, Unifi has been hard at work developing their new uTrade v2 protocol, a decentralized automated market making (AMM) trading platform that will go live on IoTeX on August 11. uTrade has been integrated on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, IoTeX, and more with the ultimate goal of unifying the world's top blockchains into a universal DeFi marketplace. Get ready for the multi-chain revolution!

What to Expect for uTrade v2 on IoTeX

The launch of uTrade v2 on IoTeX will enable reduced gas fees, faster transactions, and a seamless experience for both liquidity providers and traders. In addition to uTrade v2, Unifi will soon launch uStake and other products on IoTeX to bring innovative DeFi capabilities to the IoTeX Network.

At launch, uTrade v2 on IoTeX will be fully Web3-compatible with Metamask and ioPay Mobile. The base token in which trading fees will be collected is IOTX. The upgraded smart contracts for uTrade V2 showcase many new features, including:

  • Single side liquidity addition: Provide liquidity with a single token, removing the need for LPs to deposit a pair of tokens to liquidity mine.
  • New fee structure: unlike other AMMs that take a cut of fees, the uTrade v2 protocol will provide 100% of trading fees to liquidity providers.
  • User added listings: Don’t see your favorite token on uTrade? List it yourself! Users can add any new token pairs to uTrade v2.
  • Token routing: With no restrictions on token pairs in uTrade v2, users can trade various tokens against each other in endless combinations.
  • Customizable smart contracts: uTrade V2 contracts are compatible with Uniswap’s smart contracts calls, making them more developer-friendly.
