Uniswap FAQ
- What is Uniswap?
- Uniswap is a decentralised exchange launched 2018 by Hayden Adams, pioneering the automated market maker (AMM) model. UNI is the governance token, airdropped to early users in September 2020. It gives holders voting power over the Uniswap DAO treasury and protocol parameters.
- Where does Uniswap run?
- Uniswap V3 and V4 are live on Ethereum mainnet and every major L2 (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon) plus several non-EVM chains via Uniswap X. V4 introduced "hooks" — customisable pool logic — enabling dynamic fees, on-chain limit orders, and MEV capture at the pool level.
- Does holding UNI earn yield?
- Not directly. UNI is purely governance — there is no native staking or fee share. The "fee switch" (redirecting a portion of swap fees to UNI stakers) has been debated in governance for years but has not shipped at the time of writing. Third-party venues may offer derivatives; those carry counterparty risk.
- Is Uniswap regulated?
- The SEC served Uniswap Labs a Wells notice in April 2024, alleging the interface and wallet constitute unregistered securities activity. The case was dropped in early 2025 without enforcement action. Operations continue, but US regulatory exposure remains higher than for most DeFi protocols.
