Uniswap is the Ethereum-based decentralized crypto exchange that controls a vast majority of daily trading along with Coinbase and Binance. Users add funds and get trading facilities using a traditional order book system.
The orders of buyers and sellers are known as market depth. To make successful transactions, a buyer needs to match the price of a seller or vice versa. UNI has an automated liquidity control protocol.
Uniswap is an open-source platform that means anyone can copy code and create a new decentralized exchange. It offers to list a token on the exchange free of cost. On the other hand, centralized exchanges charge high fees to list a token in the exchange and are profit-driven businesses.
Uniswap is the 4th largest decentralized finance platform with $3 billion worth of crypto assets. It runs on two smart contracts: Exchange and Factory, which are designed to run specific functions on the platform.
It solves the problem of most decentralized exchanges with an automated liquidity protocol. Uniswap incentivizes the people trading on the exchange to become the liquidity providers, and it pulls their money to create a fund used to execute the trades.
