About Uniswap
Uniswap is the pioneering automated market maker (AMM) that revolutionized decentralized trading. Launched in November 2018 by Hayden Adams, it introduced the constant product formula (x*y=k) that became the industry standard for DEXs. Uniswap V2 added ERC-20 to ERC-20 swaps and flash swaps, while V3 introduced concentrated liquidity, allowing LPs to allocate capital within specific price ranges for dramatically improved efficiency. With over $5 billion in TVL and support across Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and BNB Chain, Uniswap processes more volume than any other DEX and remains the most widely used protocol in DeFi.
