Uniswap (<a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/uniswap/uniswap-v4-catalyst-uni-token-primed-for-growth-as-new-chain-launch-loom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">UNI</a>), one of the largest decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges (DEX) by trading volume, has made an important announcement regarding deploying its v2 protocol on six additional chains.&nbsp; 
The chains on which the v2 protocol has been deployed include Arbitrum (ARB), Polygon (MATIC), Optimism (OP), Base, Binance Smart Chain (BSC), and Avalanche (AVAX). 
<h2 id="uniswap-widens-v2-protocol-deployment">Uniswap Widens v2 Protocol Deployment</h2> 
According to a recent <a href="https://x.com/Uniswap/status/1760048438656356693?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">post </a>on X (formerly Twitter) by Uniswap Labs, the software product developer working on the protocol, the decision to deploy the v2 protocol on more chains is primarily driven by the desire to simplify the experience for Liquidity Providers (LPs). 
While the protocol’s v3 offers advanced features tailored for active liquidity providers, the development team believes the v2 protocol offers a more “straightforward approach.”&nbsp; 
By default, <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/uniswap/uniswap-unveils-new-security-feature-will-it-boost-uni-demand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">v2 pools</a> cover the entire price range, reducing the need for upfront decisions and minimizing the active involvement of liquidity providers. This simplification streamlines the process and makes it more accessible to a broader range of users, according to the announcement.&nbsp; 
Another benefit of using the v2 protocol on multiple chains, according to Uniswap Labs, is its cost efficiency. Creating pools on v2 is more gas efficient than other versions, resulting in lower gas costs to add liquidity.&nbsp; 
This cost reduction can be translated into savings for users, making swaps on the platform “incredibly affordable.” In addition, the use of v2 on <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/uni/uni-price-prediction-uniswap-8/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">Layer 2 </a>scaling solutions significantly reduces the risk of frontrunning and manipulative practices known as Miner Extractable Value (MEV).&nbsp; 
Ultimately, by offering an official v2 deployment directly accessible through the Uniswap interface, the developers suggest that users can be assured of a safe and secure environment for their swaps.

Despite the recent developments that could attract investors’ attention and drive broader adoption of the Uniswap protocol, the exchange’s native token, UNI, is currently undergoing a significant <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/uni/uni-price-prediction-uniswap-to-7/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">correction </a>in line with the overall market trend. 
Currently, UNI is trading at $7.22, representing a 4.4% price drop in the past 24 hours and a 1.1% decline in the last trading hour. However, it’s worth noting that UNI has been one of the better-performing tokens in the market, with price increases of 14.7% and 16.8% in the past fourteen and thirty days, respectively.

Furthermore, according to <a href="https://tokenterminal.com/terminal/projects/uniswap" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">data </a>from Token Terminal, the Uniswap ecosystem continues to exhibit substantial growth in key metrics.&nbsp;

In contrast, the circulating market capitalization, which considers the currently circulating tokens, is valued at $6.94 billion, indicating a 19.9% increase over the same period.
