π¦ Learn the top tactics that led Uniswap to become the next crypto unicorn
What is Uniswap?
Uniswap is known as the decentralized exchange (DEX) that lets users easily swap one Ethereum-based token for another. And when we say βeasily,β we mean eeeeeasily.
For instance, if youβre holding your tokens in a browser-based wallet like MetaMask, Uniswap just connects to your wallet with one click and lets you swap. The whole process is instant, painless, and friction-free.
The story behind:
Uniswap was founded in 2017 (officially launched in 2018) by Hayden Adams who brought the concept to life with some help from the ETH community. In particular, he received various grants, including a $100,000 grant from the Ethereum Foundation.
In 2022 this leading DeFi player fulfilled its unicorn destiny in the Web3 world and raised $165M, which bestowed Uniswap with a ~$1.7B valuation.
How did a small project grow into the world's largest DEX?
There were several factors of Uniswap's success:
β Decentralization: Uniswap's contracts are open source: users can interact trustlessly with the platform without the risks or identity checks of centralized exchanges.
β Great smart contracts: Throughout Uniswap's existence, it has never experienced a hack or major bug, leading to trust in the protocol that keeps people using and recommending it.
β Support for all ERC-20 tokens: Anyone can create a market for a token on Uniswap simply by providing liquidity. There are no centralized approval processes or waiting times, drawing in supporters from many smaller token communities.
