UNI is the native governance token of Uniswap, a decentralized exchange built on the Ethereum blockchain that operates as an Automated Market Maker. Rather than relying on traditional order books, Uniswap uses smart contracts and liquidity pools to enable users to swap ERC-20 tokens directly from their wallets. As a governance token, UNI gives holders the ability to vote on proposals that shape the future direction of the protocol, including decisions about the allocation of the community treasury, changes to fee structures, and the implementation of technical upgrades. Since its launch, Uniswap has become one of the most widely used decentralized trading venues in the Ethereum ecosystem, and UNI has been extended across a broad range of networks, including Layer 2 solutions like Optimism, Arbitrum, and Polygon, as well as alternative chains such as Avalanche, BNB Chain, and Harmony. The token is also associated with Uniswap's own Unichain network. By placing protocol governance in the hands of its users, UNI represents a foundational element of the broader decentralized finance movement.
