Uniswap’s UNI has grown in favor of investors as the token continues its upward trajectory in the face of crucial on-chain developments. According to CoinGecko, the token surged 30% since last month, keeping the token on the green zone. With the market’s renewed bullishness, UNI might be on the road for some gains in the short term.
Uniswap recently announced a development that may enhance user experience in using the platform altogether. Investors are excited as the platform continues to find innovative ways to improve user engagement.
Gas Abstraction: A Leap For Uniswap UX?
Across Protocol’s Chief Technology Officer, Matt Rice, and Uniswap’s Staff Software Engineer, Mark Toda recently discussed about the ERC-7702 which, if passed, would introduce a new transaction type known as externally owned accounts (EOAs). In general, ERC-7702 will implement gas abstraction, a feature that would both improve user experience and save users a ton of money in the process.

According to Mark Toda, the biggest obstacle for gas abstraction to be successfully implemented is authorizing a users address without gas on-chain.
“…Think about it right now, if you are trying to send some tokens on some random chain and you’re trying to swap out of there or do anything there, right now you need to have a native token to pay the gas…or authorize the contract of some sort to take your tokens,” Toda said when asked about a scenario where a user swaps tokens with no available chains on the platform.
To put it simply, ERC-7702’s most notable feature regarding gas sponsorship which helps users pay gas fees distinct from their chain of origin. This feature, once ERC-7702 is implemented, will greatly improve cross-interoperability, enhancing user experience.
As of writing, ERC-7702 is still in its draft stage which means the new on-chain goodies featured between Toda and Rice are still subject to revision. Nonetheless, it presents a good future for the Uniswap community.
UNI: Investors Should Watch These Levels
As of writing, UNI has continued to make ground against the bears in the medium term which places the token at the gates of the $7.518 resistance level. This crucial resistance level might continue to resist in the coming days as the market hits its peak after days of continued bullish movement.
With this in mind, investors should monitor the token’s movement in the coming hours and days as this may determine the trajectory of the token. If UNI breaks through this crucial resistance level, it opens the door toward $9.012 in the medium term.
However, if $7.518 remains unbeaten or the bulls breakthrough for a short while before pulling back, it might trigger a downward movement by the bears targeting $5.899 in the medium term.
