About Uniswap
What it does, how it earns and what the UNI token is for.
Uniswap is a protocol for exchanging cryptocurrencies without a central party, and it runs on Ethereum. It uses smart contracts to trade digital assets automatically, so no middlemen or central order books are needed. Anyone can swap tokens through automated market makers, which are pools that anyone can supply with liquidity.
The people who supply those pools earn the pool fees. As of 2026, deposits are supported on more than 40 chains, with the most on Ethereum, and part of the trading fees is kept by the protocol as revenue. UNI is the governance token, so Uniswap is governed by its holders, who can vote on key decisions such as treasury usage or future upgrades.
