I remember first time holding the Ethereum and it's some of the tokens which were formed over the years. Changing them was not easy and finding the right swap with low fees was even more harder. Exchanges were not mild back then they used to charge high amount on swaps. 

Then came the swap platforms and the DEX. Which made many of the swapping and the exchanges faster, cheaper and even more accessible. Uniswap and 1inch were two of such alternatives to CEX back then  and even today they continue to be strong. 

Uniswap over the years developed a lot. Like they built their own protocol, blockchain and also the swap service and also the wallet now. So you would find them becoming inseparable part of the Ethereum ecosystem across multiple chains.

That is not all. You would find the growing use of the unchain. Where the EVM based tokens are easy to find and swap and even list. Some of the off chain tokens are also now listed and more and more tokens are likely to get listed in the upcoming times. 

You can check out more on the unichain page. And you would find that the wallet from the uniswap is also worth exploring and worth checking out for the value that it generates.
