The leading decentralized exchange (DEX) Uniswap has launched an NFT marketplace aggregator to deliver better prices, faster indexing, safer smart contracts, and efficient execution. Now, users can trade NFTs across multiple marketplaces to find more listings and better prices in one interface.
Initially, Uniswap will support OpenSea, LooksRare, X2Y2, Larva Labs, NFT 20, Sudoswap, NFTX, and Foundation. With this brand-new NFT aggregator, users can save up to 15% on gas costs compared to other aggregators.
The aggregator is powered by a new open-sourced Universal Router contract. Uniswap claims that it can save tens of thousands of gas units over other marketplaces.
On top of that, Uniswap is also airdropping approximately 5 million USDC to certain historical Genie users. Note that Uniswap acquired Genie back in June this year as part of its growth push to include NFTs and ERC-20 tokens among its offerings.
Additionally, the exchange will also offer gas rebates to the first 22,000 NFT users. However, the gas rebates will only be available for two weeks and are capped at 0.01 ETH. The NFT marketplace aggregators launch is aimed to bridge the gap between NFTs and ERC-20 tokens ecosystems, building interoperable experiences between the two.
The airdrop event for Genie users is in two tiers based on a snapshot taken on April 15, 2022, at 00:00 UTC.
- The $300 tier: It is available to wallets that completed more than one transaction before the snapshot
- The $1000 tier: It is available to wallets that held the Genie:Genesis NFT as of the snapshot. This tier is also available to wallets purchased a Genie:Genesis NFT or a Genie:Gem NFT between 5:59 pm and 9:15 pm UTC on June 21st. Remember, users are eligible per unique address.Â
Users can claim their airdrop in USDC for both tires on app.uniswap.org for the next 12 months.
