What is the Uniswap Protocol?
The Uniswap Protocol is a set of persistent, non-upgradable smart contracts that allows its users to provide liquidity, create liquidity pools, and swap between tokens in a liquidity pool without requiring any trusted intermediaries or a central authority. It is an implementation of a noncustodial automated market maker (AMM), in that it pools liquidity and makes pooled tokens available at a price set by an algorithm.

Uniswap is built to prioritize censorship resistance, permissionlessness, security, decentralization, and self-custody. It makes market creation, liquidity creation, and swapping accessible, fair, and secure to all.

What Grantees are Saying

Through hackathons, bounties, and the UniswappeR grant, we’ve been able to share insights into blockchain data and help develop tools that have enhanced the usability of the Uniswap protocol and enable easier data driven decision making for the Uniswap community.
Lawrence, Omni Analytics
[The UF’s] support elevated my work in DeFi, giving me the confidence to explore new solutions and opportunities. This initial support was crucial in helping me develop Panoptic, my new protocol inspired by the ideas from my grant, and will continue shaping my future work.
Guillaume, Panoptic
Working with the UF has been a an amazing experience. UF is very clear on the protocol's needs when drafting RFPs and seeking work done, but simultaneously open to feedback from external parties with different points of view.
