#Uniswap Labs CEO Hayden Adams launched Uniswap in 2018 just as #Ethereum and the idea of blockchain-based computer code, called “smart contracts,” were first taking hold.

The platform mainstreamed the automated market maker (AMM) – a tool that allows people to #swap between currencies without the use of middlemen – and quickly grew into a financial behemoth. Still the largest decentralized exchange (DEX) in a growing field of competitors, Uniswap has processed over $1 trillion worth of #transactions across a variety of #blockchains.
