What are Uniswap and UNI?
Uniswap is a decentralized exchange protocol built on Ethereum. Instead of an order book, it uses an automated market maker (AMM) – smart contracts that let users swap tokens, provide liquidity or create markets directly on a blockchain.
UNI is the governance token of the Uniswap Protocol. UNI holders can vote on proposals about how the protocol operates.
