Oku 2.0 Is Officially Live: The Trading Experience DeFi Deserves
The upgrade traders have been waiting for is finally here.
Oku 2.0 represents a complete overhaul of our swapping, bridging, and mobile experience. Built on top of the most advanced execution engine in DeFi, this update delivers faster performance, cleaner design, and smarter routing across every chain.
Bridging the CeFi-DeFi Divide
There's a reason 95% of crypto trading still happens on centralized platforms like Binance and Coinbase. These organizations have invested heavily in their trading interfaces, creating polished, user-friendly experiences. Meanwhile, DeFi has spent the last several years focused on what it does best: building robust infrastructure and protocol-level innovation.
But that's changing, and Oku is leading the charge.
At Oku, our mission is to close the gap between CeFi and DeFi trading experiences. While centralized exchanges are constrained by their legacy web2 stacks, we leverage the composability of the DeFi ecosystem and blockchain technology to offer a trading experience that will eventually be indistinguishable from CeFi—and ultimately surpass it. That's why we've partnered with many protocols and projects to bring you the most comprehensive trading platform in DeFi.
Our Journey
Oku's story began within GFX Labs in October 2022, when we received a $1.6M grant from the Uniswap Foundation to build a reimagined trading interface, analytics platform, and API for Uniswap v3. After ten months of intensive development, we launched in July 2023 and have since supported Uniswap DAO's expansion across new blockchains.
Today, Oku has evolved far beyond our initial vision. Our platform now offers:
- Smart Order Routing: Integrating 14 routing systems to guarantee the best possible price on every trade
- Bridge Aggregator: 13 integrated bridges for seamless cross-chain transfers
- Zero-Fee Fiat Onboarding: On/off-ramping in USD and EUR at an industry-leading 0.00% fee
- Trustless Limit Orders: Built directly on Uniswap v3 for complete on-chain transparency
- LP Position Management: Professional tools for liquidity providers
- Comprehensive Analytics: Deep insights into Uniswap v3 markets
What Makes Oku 2.0 Different
Oku 2.0 gives traders a seamless cross-chain interface powered by the strongest routing stack in DeFi: 15 routers, 14 bridges, and 35+ chains working behind the scenes to find the best route every time. It’s professional-grade trading wrapped in a smooth, mobile-optimized experience—CEX-level polish with true DEX privacy and control.
