Uniswap plans to merge with the marketplace. This will allow users to buy and sell NFTs within the marketplace, as well as put non-fungible tokens up for sale in other marketplaces. Developers of other DeFi-applications will be able to integrate with the marketplace via APIs or widgets.

Genie users can use the marketplace until they are fully integrated with Uniswap. As part of the purchase, developers announced an airdrop among users who have used Genie at least once before April 15. They will be given USDC tokens.
