About Uniswap
Uniswap (UNI) is the token of the largest decentralised exchange in crypto. Rather than matching buyers and sellers through an order book, Uniswap pioneered the "automated market maker" model: users trade against pools of tokens supplied by other users, with prices set by a formula. It runs on Ethereum and other networks, lets anyone list a token or provide liquidity, and processes enormous trading volume without a central operator holding customer funds.
UNI is a governance token: it gives holders a vote over the protocol’s treasury and direction rather than a direct claim on trading fees, and how much value should ultimately flow to holders has been a long-running debate. Uniswap is a cornerstone of DeFi, but it faces competition from other exchanges and evolving regulation of decentralised trading. UNI is a volatile, high-risk asset tied to the health of on-chain trading.
