Uniswap (UNI)

Uniswap (UNI)

Beginner

    Uniswap is one of the largest and oldest decentralized exchanges (DEXs) on the Ethereum blockchain. The growing network of DeFi applications has, since inception, expanded to other blockchain networks, including Layer-2 solutions such as Polygon, Arbitrum and Optimism, and Celo.

     

    The decentralized finance marketplace lets users lend, borrow, provide liquidity, invest, and grow their crypto portfolios. The Uniswap Protocol also supports upcoming crypto projects through its grants program, providing funding to develop decentralized applications (dApp) and tools based on blockchain technology.

     

    UNI is the native cryptocurrency of the Uniswap ecosystem. It is used for governance purposes, decentralizing and democratizing how the DeFi project will evolve. 

     

    Unsiwap (UNI) is one of the market's most actively traded and liquid DeFi-related cryptocurrencies. As of September 2023, Uniswap crypto is the 27th largest digital asset by market cap.
