Uniswap has introduced Smart Wallets, allowing users to perform one-click swaps and bundled transactions via EIP-7702 and EIP-5792 standards. This eliminates the need for separate approval and swap steps, streamlining DeFi interactions. The feature is part of Uniswap’s broader roadmap, which includes collaborations like Sony’s Soneium integration. However, the launch comes amid internal DAO tensions, with concerns over centralized decision-making by the Uniswap Foundation. Market conditions also pose challenges, with the UNI token dropping over 10% amid geopolitical tensions and rising exchange supply. Despite these hurdles, Uniswap remains committed to simplifying DeFi with future upgrades like gas-free transactions and multi-step bundling.
