What are Uniswap's permissioned pools?

They are liquidity pools that only approved and verified users can access.

Why did Uniswap launch them?

The pools are designed to support regulated on-chain trading for institutions.

Only users who meet the required compliance and identity checks can participate.

Regular pools are open to everyone, while permissioned pools restrict access to approved users.

It could help more financial institutions use decentralised finance while meeting regulatory requirements.
