What is uniswap

Uniswap is a protocol on Ethereum platform for swapping ERC20 tokens without the need for buyers and sellers to create demand.

Decentralised Exchange Problem

On decentralised exchanges we have the liquidity problem, where there is not enough liquidity for buyers and traders to transact faster.

Uniswap Solution

Uniswap allows the exchanges to directly swap the tokens without relying on the buyers and sellers creating liquidity.

Who created Uniswap

Uniswap was created by Hayden Adams inspired by a post of Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin.

How uniswap tokens produced

When an amount of ETH/Erc20 token is added to the liquidity pool, a pool token is issued to the liquidity contributor. Pool tokens are created whenever funds are diposited to the pool. Pool tokens can be exchanged in the dapps. When the funds are claimed the pool token is burned or destroyed. Pool tokens represent the share of the user's pool total assets and share of the pool 0.3% trading fee.
