5 things I learnt about Uniswap

• ⁠Uniswap is the world’s largest decentralised exchange. People use it to buy coins that are not available on CEXes yet.


• ⁠It’s the OG. It developed smart contracts (v2 and v3) and interfaces and got them audited and made them open source. So most other DEXes like SushiSwap are copies of UniSwap


• ⁠Did an airdrop of $UNI on to more than 250k addresses that have previously used the protocol on 17/09/2020. This cemented its popularity


• ⁠You can swap the PLU you get from the Plutus rewards card to ETH or USDT on Uniswap


• ⁠Its quarterly spot volume ($155B worth of trades) exceeded Coinbase’s spot volume in Q1 2023 ($145B worth of trades)

Can’t wait to use Uniswap with my upcoming Donuts 🍩 from r/ethtrader
