How to change default trade options

When using Uniswap to swap tokens you can adjust the default trade options, which determines the liquidity pools your swap is routed through.

 

When default trade options are turned ON, Uniswap will select the cheapest trade option considering price and network costs.

 

You can also turn default trade options off to select a specific trade route option.

 

The options available are:

  1. Default trade: Selecting this option allows Uniswap to determine the best route for your swap. This option uses liquidity on both Uniswap v2 and v3 liquidity pools.

  2. UniswapX: This option is only available on the Uniswap Web app. When enabled, swaps will be routed through UniswapX when eligible.

  3. v3 pools only: Selecting this option will force your swap to only use Uniswap v3 liquidity pools for the swap route.

  4. v2 pools only: Selecting this option will force your swap to only use Uniswap v2 liquidity pools for the swap route.
