Uniswap is one of the most popular cryptocurrency decentralized exchanges (DEXs), launching in November 2018.

Uniswap runs on the Ethereum blockchain and uses a number of smart contracts to securely swap ERC-20 tokens between users.

The decentralized aspect of the protocol means that there is no single centralized authority that manages and runs the exchange — instead, swaps are done in a peer-to-peer (P2P) manner. Moreover, Uniswap strives to solve the liquidity problem inherent in other exchanges. Uniswap V3 is the 3rd edition of the protocol fitted with updates to improve compensation and provide greater control and flexibility for individual LPs. Uniswap V3 supports over 46.5% of the total DEX trading volume and the protocol reached a cumulative lifetime trading volume of $1 trillion in May 2022.

The AMM model premiered in the V1 version of the exchange, with the V2 version allowing trading between different ERC-20 token pairs instead of swaps between ETH and ERC-20 tokens. The consequence was reduced slippage, benefiting the evolution of the exchange. Furthermore, it introduced protocol fees to continue development. In the V2 version, wrapped Ether instead of native Ether was available for the first time as liquidity for token pairs.

Improvements in the V3 version include unique price curves for liquidity providers, allowing them to centralize their capital at desired prices to improve capital efficiency. Another feature implies the automatic capital removal if prices change significantly and exceed the LP’s price range. The V3 is the first version available on Arbitrum, a scaling solution for Ethereum that opens up a more affordable trading experience thanks to its significantly lower trading fees.
