Uniswap: A Few Words About It
Uniswap Labs initially introduced its browser extension for wallets in February of this year, which has since attracted a waitlist of 793,391 users.
The Uniswap Wallet provides users direct access to the Uniswap protocol, known as one of the most widely used automated market makers (AMM), decentralized exchange (DEX) that enables token trading via liquidity pools, a method that differs from traditional order book systems where orders are matched directly between buyers and sellers. Currently, its total value locked (TVL) exceeds $5.6 billion, as reported by the cryptocurrency data tracker DeFiLlama.
Recently, Uniswap has entered into a partnership with Transak to enable users to purchase cryptocurrencies directly with fiat within the Uniswap Wallet, streamlining the user experience.
