Uniswap (UNI) wants to launch its mobile wallet, but Apple is opposed without giving a reason

by Thomas

Decentralized cryptocurrency exchange (DEX) Uniswap would like to launch its self-custodial wallet on mobile, but Apple is not hearing it that way. So the company that operates the first DEX in terms of volume traded remains in the dark as Apple won’t give the green light for its launch on the App Store and refuses to explain.

Uniswap is being stymied

Uniswap (UNI), the largest decentralised exchange (DEX) in terms of volume traded, is seeing the launch of its mobile wallet delayed by Apple’s refusals, which would seem to have no explanation. According to the Uniswap press release, the Apple company approved the first version of the application last October.

However, the launch of the wallet was blocked by Apple only a few days before its official launch date, in December. Since then, the company specialising in decentralised finance (DeFi) has been left in the dark as it does not know the reasons for this refusal.

Apple approved our first version in October, but rejected the final version just days before our launch in December. Since then, we have addressed their concerns, answered all their questions and reiterated that we are 100% compliant with their guidelines. Other self-custodial trading wallets have been approved, but Apple did not give the green light to our launch and we don’t know why. “

Apple’s regulatory environment is all the more difficult to tame because it is not public. As such, according to Tim Cook’s company policy, an app that offers cryptocurrency trading must be based on an “approved” exchange. However, the MetaMask app is available on iOS, for example, even though it is decentralised and is, moreover, able to interact with the Uniswap DEX.

What does the Uniswap mobile wallet offer?

According to Uniswap, this mobile wallet allows for all Web3 related tasks for both cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFT), with a focus on decentralisation as it is a self-custodial wallet that is as fast to create as “an email address”.

One of the most interesting features is the ability to connect to different decentralised applications (dApps) without having to switch networks manually.

” Uniswap mobile wallet is the best way to manage your wallet on Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum and Optimism. With WalletConnect, you can manage connections to multiple web applications on different networks simultaneously. For example, you can connect to Lido on Mainnet, Aave on Polygon, and Uniswap on Arbitrum without switching networks. “


On the security side, the Uniswap mobile wallet has been audited by Trail of Bits. Users’ keys will benefit from the security offered natively by Apple-branded devices and can be easily backed up on Apple iCloud.

Pending Apple’s approval to launch on the App Store, Uniswap will allow 10,000 users to test its wallet via the TestFlight environment, in particular to prove to Apple that its application is secure.
