Fireblocks Expands DeFi Offerings with Token Swaps and Allowance Manager

Fireblocks, a leading platform for enterprise-level digital asset management, has announced a significant expansion to its decentralized finance (DeFi) suite, unveiling support for token swaps and a token allowance manager. The new features aim to bolster security and streamline workflows for projects leveraging DeFi applications.

The announcement came during SPARK, Fireblocks’ annual user conference, where Idan Ofrat, the company’s chief product officer, introduced the two new capabilities. These enhancements arrive as Fireblocks experiences a surge in activity, reflecting growing enterprise adoption of DeFi technologies.

Streamlining DeFi Workflows with Token Swaps

The Fireblocks Token Swaps feature allows users to exchange tokens seamlessly through the Uniswap API directly within the Fireblocks console. This eliminates the need to transfer assets or maintain external exchange accounts, providing users with a more efficient and secure trading experience.

Joaquín Herrera, COO and founder of Takenos, praised the new functionality, stating, “By eliminating the need to transfer funds or manage exchange accounts, Fireblocks streamlines our workflow and keeps our focus where it matters—growing our business.”

Enhanced Security with the Allowance Manager

The Token Allowance Manager is designed to provide users with visibility into token allowances, enabling them to mitigate risks associated with potentially malicious smart contracts. Initially, this feature will support Ethereum, aligning with Fireblocks’ focus on enhancing user protection in decentralized ecosystems.

Expanding Capabilities Across the Digital Asset Ecosystem

Fireblocks continues to establish itself as a pioneer in digital asset management. Over the past year, the platform has introduced several new tools and integrations, expanding its utility for enterprises and blockchain projects.

In July, Fireblocks launched a blockchain startup toolkit, offering key features such as self-custody, private key management, and support for decentralized applications. August saw the platform integrate with Immutable, a blockchain-based gaming platform, while September marked the debut of its non-custodial wallet-as-a-service.

Fireblocks also partnered with Chainlink Labs in September, forming a strategic alliance to enable banks to manage stablecoin issuance and regulated digital asset transactions.

Positioning for a DeFi-Driven Future

By introducing token swaps and the allowance manager, Fireblocks reinforces its commitment to innovation and security in the evolving DeFi landscape. These updates reflect the platform’s goal of empowering businesses to safely navigate and capitalize on decentralized finance opportunities, setting a new standard for enterprise-grade digital asset management.
