Uniswap UNI

What is the Uniswap UNI asset token:

Uniswap (UNI) is the native governance token of the Uniswap platform, a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that enables users to swap various cryptocurrencies in a permissionless and non-custodial manner. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, Uniswap uses an automated market maker (AMM) model, where liquidity providers deposit tokens into smart contract-based pools, and traders can swap tokens against these pools. UNI tokens grant holders governance rights, allowing them to propose and vote on changes to the platform, including fee structures, token listings, and protocol upgrades. Uniswap has become a fundamental building block of the DeFi ecosystem, fostering innovation and financial accessibility.
