About Uniswap
Uniswap is a decentralized exchange protocol on Ethereum that lets anyone swap tokens directly from a wallet, without an order book or a custodian. Trades are priced by automated market-maker formulas against pools of liquidity supplied by users. UNI is the protocol's governance token.
How Uniswap Works
Rather than matching buyers with sellers, Uniswap prices every trade against a pool holding two assets. Liquidity providers deposit both sides of a pair and earn a share of the trading fees in return. Later versions let providers concentrate their capital within a chosen price range, which makes the same liquidity go much further for traders.
The History of Uniswap
Uniswap was created by Hayden Adams and launched in 2018, inspired by a concept Vitalik Buterin had sketched out for on-chain market making. Version 2 arrived in 2020 and version 3 in 2021 with concentrated liquidity. The UNI token was distributed to past users in September 2020 in one of the largest airdrops the sector had seen.
What UNI Is Used For
UNI governs the protocol. Holders vote on upgrades, fee settings, treasury allocations and deployments to new chains, and can delegate their voting power to someone else. The token does not entitle holders to trading fees by default — whether to switch on a protocol fee is itself a governance decision.

Why buy Uniswap with YouHodler? +
YouHodler combines advanced security and encryption with a simple way to buy and sell UNI, fast crypto transactions, support for multiple fiat currencies, and a platform that works for newcomers and experienced traders alike.
Is Uniswap a good investment? +
Uniswap is the most-used decentralized exchange by volume, which gives UNI a direct link to real on-chain activity and an unusually deep governance treasury. Against that, the token captures no trading fees unless governance votes to enable them, and decentralized exchanges face both regulatory attention and heavy competition. UNI is volatile — research it before investing.
Can I buy Uniswap today and sell it tomorrow? +
Yes. YouHodler supports selling as well as buying, so you can acquire UNI and later exchange it for fiat currencies such as USD or EUR. Transactions settle quickly, major fiat currencies are supported, and withdrawals go out by bank transfer.
Is it safe to buy Uniswap? +
Buying UNI is generally safe on a reliable platform like YouHodler, which applies data encryption, identity verification and multi-layer account protection. The asset itself stays highly volatile, so prices can move sharply over short periods.
How do I convert Uniswap to cash? +
Connect a bank account, debit card or credit card to your YouHodler profile, exchange your UNI for a fiat currency such as USD or EUR, then withdraw the balance straight to your bank.
How much is $100 worth of Uniswap right now? +
