Uniswap

UNI is the governance token for Uniswap . UNI was introduced on 16th September 2020 through a retrospective airdrop to users who have interacted with the protocol either by swapping tokens or by providing liquidity. Uniswap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that makes it easy for users to swap an ERC-20 token for another ERC-20 token without the need of a centralized intermediary. With a DEX, traders do not have to deposit their tokens on an exchange and be exposed to the security risks of a centralized exchange.  An AMM uses a pricing algorithm to price assets. Uniswap uses the “x*y = k” formula to price its assets. Within the formula, x represents the amount of one token in the liquidity pool, y is the amount of the other asset and k is a fixed constant. In Uniswap, the value of both assets constantly remains at a ratio of 50:50. Currently, the 0.3% trading fees do not accrue to UNI token holders - all trading fees currently only accrue to Liquidity Providers. With the protocol doing over $1 billion of daily trading volume, experts are speculating that the price of UNI will be based on the potential return made through fees, should at some point governance decide to enable that.
