What is Uniswap?

Uniswap is a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange protocol that operates on the Ethereum blockchain. It allows users to trade Ethereum-based tokens directly from their wallets without the need for intermediaries or traditional order books[1]. Uniswap is designed to provide liquidity and facilitate seamless token swaps through the use of automated market-making (AMM) algorithms. It relies on a system of smart contracts that enable users to pool their funds and create liquidity for various token pairs. These liquidity pools are used to execute trades, and users can become liquidity providers by contributing their tokens to the pools[1]. One of the key features of Uniswap is its unique pricing mechanism. Instead of relying on traditional order books, Uniswap uses a constant product formula, known as the x*y=k invariant, to determine the price of tokens in a liquidity pool. This mechanism ensures that trades are executed based on a predefined ratio, maintaining a balance between the token reserves in the pool[1]. Uniswap gained significant popularity within the decentralized finance (DeFi) space due to its user-friendly interface, permissionless nature, and ability to support a wide range of tokens. It has played a crucial role in enabling the growth of decentralized exchanges and liquidity provision in the Ethereum ecosystem[2]. References: "Uniswap: A Unique Exchange." Uniswap.
