What is Uniswap (UNI)?
One of the first automated market makers (AMM) to go live on the Ethereum network, Uniswap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that uses liquidity pools to make markets without the need for order books or central facilitators. DEXs use smart contracts to facilitate trades and don't use custodial wallets. Its asset token is UNI. You can buy and sell UNI for any major cryptocurrency, like BTC, ETH, and XRP or traditional currency such as Canadian Dollar, US Dollar, and Euro. Trading cryptocurrencies is like foreign exchange of traditional currencies – you trade UNI for BTC the same way you trade CAD for USD. You can also trade UNI to CAD based on the UNI price.
