The First Chain-Agnostic Trading Platform! Welcome UniversalX

The Abstraction Era has commenced.

Over the last few months, we’ve been talking non-stop about the paradigm shift of Universal Accounts: one account, one balance, any chain. 

However, along the way, we’ve kept a secret: We also wanted to be the very first to release a fully chain-abstracted application.

So today, we’re debuting Universal Accounts on Mainnet via the first chain-agnostic, 100% non-custodial trading platform: UniversalX.

Let us tell you everything about it.

Never bridge again

So what are we releasing, exactly?

UniversalX is the first chain-agnostic trading platform. It’s 100% non-custodial and allows you to trade any token on any chain, without bridging.

In other words, if you want to buy a token, it doesn’t matter if your assets are spread across many chains or what chain your target token is at—you hit “Buy”, and UniversalX takes care of the rest.

UniversalX allows you to:

• Deposit tokens from 12 supported EVM chains and Solana.
• Use your tokens to trade on all these chains with a unified balance.
• Send assets directly to and from any chain.
• Pay for gas with any token on any chain.
• Purchase thousands of tokens, even meme coins, using cash via debit or credit card, Apple Pay, and other integrations.
• Trade with blazing-fast speed and confirmation times.
• Enjoy full MEV protection.

All of this without bridging.

In practice, UniversalX gives you a fully onchain CEX-equivalent experience. It’s accessible on desktop, Android (iOS soon!), and as a Telegram Mini App, allowing you to trade anywhere. 

This translates to experiences like:

• Depositing tokens on Solana and instantly trading Arbitrum tokens without converting or bridging.
• Using $100 worth of ETH, USDC, and BTC on three different chains to buy a Solana memecoin.
• Buying tokens on Ethereum while paying for gas with Base USDC.
• Using a credit card to purchase an obscure token on a BTC L2.

Here’s a quick showcase for you:

This is just the beginning

As we continue to improve UniversalX, we’ll be further integrating other non-EVM ecosystems, eventually expanding to include the entire Web3 universe.

Furthermore, we'll also introduce advanced trading features while aiming to retain a streamlined user experience.

Finance is first, Universal-izing everything is next

We chose to start Web3’s journey towards chain abstraction with a trading platform because:

1. Finance is Web3’s driving force and most popular application.
2. By massively simplifying onchain trading, we can bring users back to decentralized products, finally presenting a compelling alternative to centralized exchanges.

With UniversalX’s release, the world will get to experience Universal Accounts for the first time.

And, as UniversalX lives on to become the definitive alternative to centralized trading, Universal Accounts’ own journey will begin in parallel with the upcoming release of the Universal SDK. Using it, anyone will be able to integrate Universal Accounts into any decentralized application or infrastructure solution, accelerating our vision of chain abstraction—one account, one balance, any chain.

Thanks to the Universal SDK, developers will be able to integrate Universal Accounts allowing users from any chain to access their dApps, onboarding them onto the Abstraction Age.

Try out UniversalX now and join Web3’s paradigm shift

UniversalX marks the beginning of the Abstraction Age, starting with trading and making its way to every dApp through the Universal SDK.

From the very start, the vision was clear—one account, one balance, any chain. With Universal Accounts on Mainnet and the first-ever chain-abstracted product out of the gate, this now becomes too large to ignore. 

Watch out as bridging becomes a thing of the past.

Watch out as blockchains become relevant to developers only.

Watch out as better, easier-to-use dApps surface.

Watch out as Web3 goes Universal.
