Talos Collaborates with Uniswap Labs and Fireblocks to Bring DeFi Liquidity to Institutional Investors

November 30, 2023 - Digital Assets infrastructure provider Talos has joined forces with Uniswap Labs, a trusted name in decentralized finance (DeFi), to unveil a pioneering partnership aimed at offering decentralised liquidity and onchain settlement solutions to professional traders and institutions.

Uniswap Labs' Trading APIs will provide Talos clients access to enterprise-grade liquidity from the deepest liquidity venue in DeFi, featuring thousands of assets presented in the familiar Talos order book format. Additionally, clients will soon have the opportunity to leverage the new UniswapX ecosystem, designed to source liquidity from multiple outlets, thus enhancing pricing, providing MEV protection, and enabling gasless swaps. Institutional client access to Uniswap is supported by Fireblocks, an enterprise platform to manage digital asset operations and build innovative businesses on the blockchain.

Anton Katz, CEO and Co-Founder of Talos, commented on his firm's partnership with Uniswap, "At the cornerstone of the DeFi ecosystem, Uniswap has the breadth of assets and depth of liquidity that institutional traders need. And to have this partnership powered by Fireblocks, a digital assets infrastructure provider trusted by some of the most renowned institutions, is very fitting. Together, we share a vision of making digital assets more accessible in a financial marketplace that's more open."

Upon launch, clients will have the distinctive ability to execute orders on Uniswap using Talos's advanced time-based execution algorithmic strategies, including the TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) algorithm. This integration marks a significant step towards enabling Talos's strategies to interact seamlessly across centralised and decentralised liquidity venues, broadening opportunities for clients to achieve optimal execution.

Mary-Catherine Lader, COO of Uniswap Labs, welcomed Talos clients to the Uniswap ecosystem, highlighting the availability of deep liquidity, a wide range of assets, and secure on-chain settlement services 24/7. Lader stated, "We welcome Talos clients to the Uniswap ecosystem: deep liquidity, expansive assets, and safe on-chain settlement 24/7. Uniswap Labs' smart contract expertise has transformed blockchain-based markets. This integration brings institutions the deep liquidity they need and sophisticated smart-contract market structure that they've never had access to before. It's a big step forward for adoption of onchain markets."

Michael Shaulov, CEO and Co-Founder of Fireblocks, noted the substantial deployment of assets into Uniswap by Fireblocks customers and expressed excitement about simplifying workflows for Talos clients through this partnership, "In the last 12 months, Fireblocks customers have deployed $6 billion into Uniswap. Being that we've long supported Talos's integrations and have previously supported Uniswap Labs via retail connectors, we are thrilled that Uniswap Labs is now a part of this ecosystem to simplify workflows for Fireblocks customers. We're committed to remaining at the forefront of providing enterprise-grade technology and are proud to work with Talos and Uniswap to deliver an important point of entry to a significant source of liquidity."
