Community-led Growth

Since its inception, the Uniswap Protocol (Uniswap) has served as trustless and highly decentralized financial infrastructure.

Inspired by Ethereum's vision, we have long committed to the ideals of permissionless access, security, and immutability, all indespensable components for a future where anyone in the world can access financial services without fear of discrimination or counterparty risk.

Now rivaling centralized incumbents on daily volume, Uniswap's success to date — achieved without involvement of the core development team since deployment — indicates that there is considerable demand for permissionless financial services.

In less than two years, the protocol has:

Supported over $20bn volume ($270k of which was socks!) traded by over 250,000 unique addresses across 8,484 unique assets

Secured over $1bn liquidity deposited by over 49,000 unique liquidity providers (LPs), earning $56m fees in the process

Emerged as foundational DeFi infrastructure, with integrations across hundreds of interfaces and applications
