Uniswap
About
Uniswap is a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange protocol built on the Ethereum blockchain and integrated across multiple secondary networks. The protocol facilitates automated token swaps through liquidity pools governed by smart contracts, eliminating the need for traditional order books or centralized intermediaries. Liquidity providers deposit pairs of ERC-20 tokens into smart contract pools to enable algorithmic trading, earning a fraction of protocol transaction fees in return. Governed by holders of its native UNI utility and governance token, the decentralized application allows users to swap assets, provision liquidity, and participate in protocol voting directly through non-custodial crypto wallets.
