Overview

UniswapX is Uniswap's intent-based, auction-driven trading protocol, launched in 2023 and now one of the largest intent systems in production. Instead of submitting a transaction directly to an AMM pool, a user signs an off-chain order expressing what they want, and a competitive network of 'fillers' bids to execute it. Pricing uses a Dutch auction: the order starts at a maximum price and decays toward a minimum over time, so fillers race to fill it as early as possible while retaining a small margin, which surfaces the best available price for the swapper. Because fillers source liquidity themselves, orders can be filled across AMMs, other on-chain venues, off-chain liquidity and across chains. The protocol is permissionless and open source. It initially rolled out as an opt-in beta on the Uniswap Labs interface for Ethereum mainnet with planned expansion to other chains and the Uniswap app, and by 2026 handled gasless single-chain swaps, cross-chain trades and MEV-protected execution for retail wallets. UniswapX launched in 2023 as an opt-in beta on the Uniswap Labs interface for Ethereum mainnet, then expanded to other chains and into the Uniswap app, adding cross-chain trading and gasless, MEV-protected swaps.
