Uniswap Integrates API with Ledger Live for Secure DeFi Swaps

Uniswap and Ledger Partner to Simplify Token Swaps in Ledger Live

Uniswap Labs and Ledger have joined forces to streamline the token trading experience by enabling swaps directly within Ledger Live. This integration allows users to trade on Uniswap while keeping their assets secured by Ledger’s hardware wallets, eliminating the need to leave the Ledger Live app.

The collaboration incorporates the Uniswap Trading API, a tool developed by the creators of popular blockchain infrastructure, into Ledger Live. According to Mary-Catherine Lader, COO of Uniswap Labs, the partnership reflects their mission to “unlock value through universal exchange.” She emphasized that the integration is aimed at simplifying the self-custody experience by combining the innovative strengths of both teams.

A standout feature of this integration is “clear signing,” which provides users with a safer way to approve transactions. By displaying transaction details in a human-readable format, clear signing helps users understand precisely what they are authorizing. Ian Rogers, Chief Experience Officer at Ledger, stated, “Clear signing is the only secure way users should be authorizing transactions.”

The integration supports token swaps on the Ethereum network, enabling users to exchange Ether (ETH) for stablecoins and other tokens seamlessly. With Ledger’s secure hardware wallets protecting their assets, users can engage in DeFi activities with added confidence.

Ledger has sold over 7 million devices globally and secures more than 20% of the world’s crypto assets. Meanwhile, Uniswap, the largest decentralized exchange, has processed over $2.5 trillion in transactions without falling victim to a hack. Ian Rogers highlighted Ledger’s versatility, noting, “You can earn yield, secure your logins, buy, send, and swap your digital assets, now with Uniswap, all in Ledger Live.”
