Uniswap is a decentralized protocol that was launched in 2018 but gained significant popularity only in 2021 due to an important v3 protocol update. The protocol was created to facilitate automated trading and make it open to any token holder. The protocol makes automated trading more effective, solving liquidity issues and other problems faced by the first decentralized platforms.
Uniswap's mechanism technically allows any user to create their own liquidity pool for any pair of tokens. It removes identity requirements.
Uniswap has its own governance token, UNI, which was created in September 2020. The purpose of the token is to "officially enshrine Uniswap as publicly-owned and self-sustainable infrastructure while continuing to carefully protect its indestructible and autonomous qualities". Any governance token allows its holders to develop the protocol.
The total number of UNI is capped at 1 billion units that were minted at genesis. The tokens will be accessible from 2020 to 2024. After that, the network will implement an inflation rate of 2% per year to ensure ongoing participation and contribution to the network at the expense of passive UNI holders.
