Uniswap was established on 2 November 2018 by Hayden Adams, an engineer who previously held positions at Siemens.
Investments in Uniswap came from venture capital firms like Andreessen Horowitz, Paradigm Venture Capital, Union Square Ventures LLC, and ParaFi. They are dedicated to making software that reduces friction between buyers and sellers. As of October 2020, USD 220 million was Uniswap’s average daily trading volume. Uniswap is used by traders and investors as part of decentralized finance (DeFi).
A hacker failed to use a re-logging trick on Uniswap’s website in April 2020, causing it to be temporarily taken down.
Uniswap is a decentralized finance protocol used to exchange cryptocurrencies and tokens. It is provided over decentralized blockchain networks that run open-source software, instead of being run by a centralized third party. Coinbase, Binance and OKEx are some examples of centralized cryptocurrency exchanges.
Changes to the protocol are voted on by holders of the native cryptocurrency UNI and a governance token called UNI, and then implemented by a developer team. Coins called UNI coins were first distributed to the protocol’s early adopters. A UNI token (worth approximately $1,400 at that time) was awarded to every Ethereum address that interacted with Uniswap before 1 September 2020.
