Uniswap (UNI) To Integrate ERC-7683 In Bid To Solve Chain Fragmentation

As a researcher with a background in blockchain technology and decentralized finance, I’ve seen firsthand how fragmentation has been a major challenge in the crypto space. The inability to easily trade assets across different blockchains has limited the potential growth of this industry. That’s why Uniswap’s recent proposal to integrate ERC-7683 is an exciting development.


Uniswap (UNI) has announced a plan to address fragmentation issues on the blockchain by implementing ERC-7683.

Uniswap Propose EIP-7683 with Across Protocol

Based on a post on X, Uniswap Labs anticipates that the future trend will be towards interoperability between different blockchains. EIP-7683 is identified by them as a key step in realizing this anticipated future.

About two months ago, I came across the EIP-7683 proposal, which was jointly introduced by a decentralized exchange and Across Protocol. This initiative was designed with cross-chain intentions in mind. In simpler terms, it aims to create a unified framework for intent-based systems to clearly define cross-chain actions.

The future is cross-chain and ERC-7683 helps us get there

This new standard proposes that all cross-chain intents follow the same order structure

Solving fragmentation with a universal filler network

The suggested standard comes with several features, specifically an API for cross-chain trade execution systems. With this implementation, developers can establish a unified framework consisting of common rules and interfaces that multiple blockchain networks can utilize to enable trading transactions between them. Additionally, the standard introduces a generic structure named CrossChainOrder and defines a standard interface referred to as ISettlementContract for smart contracts.

Over the long term, a decentralized exchange aspires to simplify the experience of exchanging cryptocurrencies across different blockchains through the EIP-7683 proposal. This enhancement not only makes trading smoother but also ensures compatibility and seamless interaction between various systems for users of the protocol.

Uniswap’s latest announcement reveals that they aim to address fragmentation issues through a universal filler network, which is actually EIP-7683. This standard will be adopted by Uniswap once it expands cross-chain with UniswapX. What makes this development even more intriguing is the ability for anyone to implement this standard.

Uniswap Key Metrics Soars

Uniswap native token UNI may have reacted to the news of the upcoming implementation of the EIP-7683 standards. At the time of this writing, UNI was trading at $8.43 after registering a 2.78% surge within the last 24 hours. The token’s trading volume is up by 14.18% while its market capitalization equally surged by 2.95%.

With a trading volume of $135.8 million and a market capitalization of $5.05 billion, UNI holds the 22nd position among cryptocurrencies. Previously, its price had raised concerns for some investors due to declines. However, there has been a recent recovery as large Uniswap investors have injected funds to buy more UNI.

There are expectations that the current price rally will continue for the next few weeks.
