Uniswap was created by Hayden Adams, inspired by an idea from Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. The protocol introduced Automated Market Makers (AMMs) as a decentralized, permissionless alternative to traditional order books. Backed early by the Ethereum Foundation, Uniswap launched in November 2018.
SOCKS token was a novelty ERC-20 token launched by Uniswap in 2019. Each token could be burned in exchange for a physical pair of Uniswap-branded socks. Out of the original 500 tokens, 220 were held or redeemed by the airdrop snapshot, qualifying those addresses for 1,000 UNI each.
