Saga’s Mainnet 2.0 has achieved a milestone with the deployment of a Uniswap v3 fork as the first appchain in its ecosystem. This development is a critical step toward Saga’s goal of transforming blockchain economics through gasless transactions and unified liquidity.
Built on Saga’s scalable infrastructure, the deployment not only reduces user friction but also signals the broader potential of appchain economics in DeFi.
The First Uniswap AppChain - What It Means
This fork of Uniswap v3 brings gasless trading to Saga’s chainlet environment, removing one of the most significant barriers to mainstream adoption in DeFi.
Unlike traditional deployments, this version operates as an independent chainlet on Saga, with a unique economic model that eliminates per-transaction gas fees for users.
Rather than relying on conventional gas fees, Saga’s new model captures a percentage of total value flowing through the network, enabling developers to generate revenue without placing financial burdens on users.
The app chain also benefits from Saga’s forthcoming Liquidity Integration Layer (LIL), set to launch in Q1 2025, which will further simplify liquidity movement across multiple blockchains.
Why Saga?
Saga’s infrastructure is purpose-built for app chains, providing scalability, modularity, and flexibility. For this Uniswap fork, Saga’s chainlet architecture eliminates the need for costly and complex bridging, allowing users to trade seamlessly without worrying about network fees.
The Liquidity Integration Layer will extend these benefits by automating bridge and routing transactions, creating a unified liquidity environment. This will make DeFi products on Saga accessible to a broader audience by simplifying asset movement and removing technical hurdles that have long hindered adoption.
Gas-less Trading - A Step Forward for DeFi
The launch of this Uniswap fork on Saga’s app chain is significant because it introduces gasless transactions to a decentralized exchange environment. This approach addresses two key challenges:
Cost Barriers: By eliminating gas fees, trading becomes more accessible to users who might otherwise be deterred by fluctuating transaction costs.
Liquidity Fragmentation: Saga’s infrastructure ensures that liquidity flows freely between blockchains, reducing inefficiencies and creating a more unified DeFi experience.
The Role of the Liquidity Integration Layer
Saga’s LIL is central to the success of this app chain. Designed to unify fragmented blockchain ecosystems, the LIL will automate asset movement, simplify routing, and eliminate the need for complex bridges. By integrating this functionality directly into the app chain, Saga ensures that users can access liquidity from any ecosystem with minimal friction.
Supporting Partners
The deployment of the Uniswap fork and the upcoming launch of the LIL have been supported by several key partnerships:
Evmos provides Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) runtime compatibility, enabling native support for EVM-based tokens.
Squid Router extends token swapping and routing capabilities to Saga’s EVM environment.
Oku developed the front-end and deployed the Uniswap fork, ensuring a seamless trading experience.
These collaborations demonstrate the growing ecosystem around Saga and the increasing interest in its approach to app chain development.
What’s Next?
With Mainnet 2.0 live and supporting the first app chain, Saga is now preparing for the Q1 2025 launch of its Liquidity Integration Layer. Developers interested in building within this ecosystem can begin leveraging Mainnet 2.0 immediately, with seamless integration into the LIL environment upon its release.
The deployment of this Uniswap fork represents an important shift in how DeFi applications can be built and scaled. By removing gas fees and addressing liquidity fragmentation, Saga is providing a template for the future of app chains in the blockchain industry.
For developers and users alike, Saga’s infrastructure offers a streamlined, scalable approach to decentralized finance. Stay tuned for more updates as Saga continues to shape the evolution of blockchain economics.
