Uniswap is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol built on the Ethereum blockchain, designed to facilitate the automated trading of digital assets. Founded by Hayden Adams in 2018, the protocol pioneered the Automated Market Maker (AMM) model, which allows users to trade crypto tokens directly from liquidity pools without the need for a traditional order book used by centralized exchanges. Uniswap Labs is the New York-based software development studio that is the core contributor to the Uniswap Protocol and develops products like the web interface, a mobile wallet, and other infrastructure to support the Uniswap ecosystem.
