Uniswap is a pioneering decentralized exchange (DEX) built on Ethereum, designed to enable anyone to swap tokens directly from their wallet without intermediaries, while retaining full custody of their assets. Fully open-source, permissionless, and non-custodial, Uniswap introduced a breakthrough in decentralized finance (DeFi) through its innovative use of Automated Market Makers (AMMs), replacing traditional order books with liquidity pools. Users trade directly against pooled assets and can earn rewards by providing liquidity. Governance of the protocol is decentralized and community-led via the UNI token, with the Uniswap Foundation supporting the ongoing development of the ecosystem.
