View ChartUniswap is a decentralized protocol that acts as an automated market maker for peer-to-peer cryptocurrency transactions. The Uniswap platform allows users to provide liquidity and exchange cryptocurrencies. Its own cryptocurrency, UNI, is used for protocol governance.
The Uniswap blockchain is hosted on the Ethereum platform and is governed by UNI token holders. It is also open source, meaning that anyone can view and contribute to its code.
The Uniswap platform uses blockchain-based smart contracts to facilitate decentralized trading of a variety of digital assets. Pairs of digital assets are swapped via liquidity pools, which use smart contracts to rebalance automatically after every trade. The Uniswap blockchain, which functions like an electronic ledger, is continually updated to reflect trading activity among Uniswap users.
Currently, Uniswap operates using the Ethereum blockchain, which uses the proof-of-stake operating method. (Ethereum transitioned from the proof-of-work method in 2022.)
Users can participate in the decentralized exchange in several ways:
Both Uniswap and PancakeSwap are decentralized exchanges that facilitate digital asset trading. Both use tokens—UNI and CAKE, respectively—to incentivize users to provide liquidity.
However, PancakeSwap and Uniswap operate on different blockchain platforms. The former uses the Ethereum platform, while the latter uses the Binance Smart Chain. While Uniswap supports the exchange of Ethereum-compatible tokens that adhere to the ERC-20 standard, PancakeSwap enables the exchange of Binance-compatible tokens that comply with Binance's BEP-20 technical standard.
