PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, Sept. 2, 2026 /CNW/ — KuCoin Web3 Wallet today announced an upgrade to its wallet-native trading infrastructure, bringing intent-based swaps and limit orders into a unified self-custodial interface. Through integrations with UniswapX, PancakeSwapX and 1inch, the update gives users more flexible ways to trade supported crypto assets and tokenized real-world assets directly within the wallet.

Web3 wallets are evolving beyond asset storage into a unified access point for discovering, interacting with, and trading onchain markets. As this shift accelerates, the user experience increasingly depends not only on market access, but also on how efficiently orders are routed and executed. The latest upgrade strengthens this execution layer while reducing the need to navigate multiple DApps and disconnected trading workflows.

Through UniswapX and PancakeSwapX, eligible swaps can access intent-based execution, where users specify the desired transaction outcome and third-party fillers or solvers compete to execute the order. Depending on the supported asset, network and available route, users may benefit from broader liquidity access, competitive quotes, gas-abstracted execution and protection against adverse MEV, including front-running and sandwich attacks.

Limit-order functionality powered by 1inch allows users to set a target price and order expiry without continuously monitoring the market. Orders are cryptographically signed and remain offchain until filled. Market swaps and limit orders are available through the same wallet interface, providing a more consistent experience across immediate and target-price execution.

The upgrade also unlocks more flexible execution for eligible tokenized assets referencing stocks, ETFs and other supported RWAs, giving users expanded access to onchain markets and additional trading routes, subject to issuer requirements, user eligibility, network support, market availability and liquidity conditions.

By combining multichain access, broader market coverage and more flexible execution, KuCoin Web3 Wallet continues to evolve as an all-in-one self-custodial platform connecting users to crypto-native and TradFi-linked onchain opportunities.

About KuCoin Web3 Wallet

KuCoin Web3 Wallet is a self-custodial, multichain wallet and onchain access platform built for trading, market discovery and asset management. It brings together cross-chain swaps, wallet-native perpetual trading, supported tokenized real-world assets, Smart Money insights, and DApps within one connected experience. By integrating liquidity, execution and discovery tools directly into the wallet, KuCoin Web3 Wallet helps users move from market insight to onchain action while retaining control of their assets and private keys. With access to over 1,000 DApps and a dedicated airdrop hub featuring trending and newly listed tokens, KuCoin Web3 Wallet provides unified access to crypto-native and TradFi-linked onchain markets.
