Uniswap is a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange protocol that runs on the Ethereum network. Launched in 2018, Uniswap allows users to exchange cryptocurrencies directly without the need for traditional intermediaries such as centralized exchanges.
Uniswap uses an Automated Market Maker (AMM) model, where token prices are determined by multiple liquidity pools that are funded by users who contribute funds to these pools. This means that anyone can add tokens to a liquidity pool and earn trading fees as an incentive.
The platform also allows for the creation of new tokens and the provision of liquidity for them, making it one of the most innovative platforms in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space.
