Uniswap - A decentralized protocol
Uniswap (UNI) is a decentralized protocol built atop the Ethereum blockchain network. The protocol is known as an Automated Market Maker (AMM), a system designed to facilitate the exchange of various ERC-20-based cryptocurrencies.
UniSwap is the largest AMM DEX by volume on Ethereum, accounting for hundreds of millions in daily trade volume typically, and even billions in busier market conditions since being founded and launched in 2018. Several factors can be considered as potential reasons that make UniSwap a popular DEX among DeFi users.
The AMM network design gives individuals the opportunity to provide liquidity to the decentralized exchange (DEX) and in doing so, receive rewards in the form of varying APYs. As Uniswap is decentralized, its network is fully peer-to-peer (P2P), from liquidity to swapping. #uniswap $UNI
