[Question] DeFi state on GnosisChain

On the Task to “smartly” optimize my crypto assets uztilization I found a bit a foggy forest in front of me.

The obvious first trees are AAVE and Balancer then curve.finance is available as well - which is great.

Further in it seems there are more things - but I don’t clearly see what it is.^^
For example https://defillama.com/chain/Gnosis shows Uniswap as second place in paid fees.
This is very curious, I did not see Uniswap on GnosisChain being available.

Other Options I consider are easy bridgings.
An easy and efficient jump to something like the UniChain, Arbitrum One or Linea seem like good candidates.
Are there bridges from the GnosisChain to these ETH L2? Or does it need to be bridged over Ethereum? Technically it is possible, I assume it is being worked - I guess it is not implemented yet^^

Currently I use rather Ethereum directly where the bridge https://bridge.gnosischain.com is nice, however I am a smaller fish, so as soon the transaction fees rise on ETH, I could not intervene, which significantly reduces the utility I get from there.

Also I don’t know what exactly Li.Fi is doing - they seem like some proprietary service to offer bridging which is where I lost interest, though I don’t know if they are actually doing something good.

Thanks for any hints or clarifications!

Fortuitously, you’ve stumbled on the right place to “smartly” optimize :raised_hands:

The Uniswap V3 protocol is deployed on Gnosis Chain, but this is delivered through the Oku.trade interface provided by GFX Labs. This is a routine and tested distribution channel for Uniswap V3, and Oku even boasts some additional features on the site, so the differences between the two aren’t material for most users. But if you have questions, we can discuss further.

For easy bridging, there are indeed a plethora of third-party bridging solutions that will deliver you safely to a range of other chains:

Sure there’s plenty I’ve missed here, but that should keep you covered for a while!
