Uniswap Web App Integrates New Auction Feature for Tokens

Uniswap’s web app introduces the auction feature on February 2, 2026, through the “Auctions” tab, integrating the Continuous Clearing Auctions protocol, enabling users to discover, bid on, and claim tokens efficiently. Previously, Aztec Network raised $60 million using this protocol.

Uniswap Labs has announced the launch of an “Auctions” tab on their web app, enabling users to discover, bid, and claim tokens using the Continuous Clearing Auctions (CCA) protocol from February 2, 2026.

This development by Uniswap aims to improve token distribution and liquidity through auctions. The integration allows for automatic liquidity seeding post-auction, facilitating smoother trades on Uniswap v4.

Uniswap Labs leads this integration, aligning with its strategy to broaden platform capabilities. The auction feature supports Ethereum, Unichain, Arbitrum, and Base, increasing accessibility for a wider range of users and tokens.

The immediate market reaction was minimal, with no direct effect on major cryptocurrencies like ETH and BTC. However, this could provide opportunities for new tokens seeking liquidity.

The financial implications focus on facilitating price discovery and liquidity for lesser-known tokens. Business repercussions may include increased market activity on supported chains.

Implications could include potential operational improvements for DeFi protocols that previously struggled with liquidity. Historical use by Aztec demonstrates the CCA’s effectiveness in handling auctions transparently.
