Uniswap is the core contributor to the Uniswap Protocol, the world's largest decentralized exchange. The protocol introduced a system using Automated Market Makers (AMMs) for peer-to-peer trading of digital assets, processing over $3 trillion in trading volume to date. The platform operates across 17 blockchain networks and serves millions of users.
The company, founded in 2018 and based in New York City, builds a suite of products around this protocol. These include the Uniswap Web App, a Uniswap Wallet, a Trading API for crypto infrastructure, and Unichain. Technical work centers on blockchain, smart contracts, and DeFi infrastructure.
Uniswap operates in an ecosystem governed by UNI token holders and stewarded by an independent 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization. The founding mission was to provide a decentralized alternative to centralized financial systems for exchanging value.
