Oku Brings Uniswap v3 to Tezos L2 via Etherlink Integration

The decentralized finance ecosystem on Etherlink, Tezos' EVM-compatible Layer 2, has taken a significant leap forward with the deployment of Oku—a feature-rich, non-custodial aggregator frontend for Uniswap v3. Initially funded by a $1.6 million grant from the Uniswap DAO and developed by GFX Labs, Oku offers users seamless access to deep Uniswap v3 liquidity, advanced trading tools, and a bridge aggregator—all within a single interface.

Etherlink’s High-Speed Backbone Enhances DeFi Access

With Etherlink offering fast execution and low transaction fees, the integration positions Tezos L2 as an attractive hub for sophisticated DeFi activity. Users can now:

• Execute limit orders and manage liquidity positions.
• Utilize advanced order routing and bridge aggregation.
• Swap across 34+ blockchains without paying frontend fees.

According to Oku, the platform narrows the gap between decentralized and centralized exchanges by offering professional-grade trading features, including a fiat on/off ramp supporting EU and USD bank accounts.

Feature-Rich Interface for Novice and Pro Traders Alike

Oku’s integration brings an intuitive interface to Etherlink users, complete with familiar price charts, historical swap data, and position analytics. Key features include:

• Aggregated Swap History – Consolidated views across routers.
• Liquidity Position Management – Tools for capital-efficient deployment.
• In-Depth Analytics Dashboard – Real-time insights on pools, tokens, and liquidity health.

"Users no longer need to leave the app to perform separate DeFi actions,” said Dan Zajac, Business Development Lead at Oku. “Advanced order routing, bridging, and liquidity management are now unified under one roof."

Strengthening Etherlink’s Role in the Tezos Ecosystem

For builders, the deployment signals Etherlink’s expanding interoperability with EVM chains, enabling broader adoption of Ethereum-native tools in the Tezos ecosystem.

David Relkin, Head of DeFi at Nomadic Labs, emphasized, “The integration of Uniswap v3 smart contracts via Oku significantly expands trading capabilities on Tezos L2. It also deepens available liquidity while taking advantage of Etherlink’s recent performance upgrades.”

Etherlink, which recently surpassed $40 million in total value locked (TVL), boasts up to 30x faster smart contract storage and improved network stability—key traits for supporting high-frequency trading applications.

A Strategic Move for Tezos DeFi Growth

The Oku launch aligns with Etherlink's broader strategy to attract sophisticated DeFi protocols and users by offering a reliable, low-latency environment that supports seamless interaction between Ethereum and Tezos-based assets.
