## What Is Uniswap?

Uniswap is one of the most popular cryptocurrency [decentralized exchanges](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-exchange-dex) (DEXs), launching in November 2018. It pioneered the [automated market maker](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/automated-market-maker-amm) (AMM) model, instead of the traditional order book-based used by exchanges. Uniswap runs on the Ethereum blockchain and uses a number of [smart contracts](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/smart-contract) to securely swap [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/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](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/peer-to-peer-p2p) (P2P) manner. Moreover, Uniswap strives to solve the [liquidity](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/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.

## Who Is the Founder of Uniswap V3

Uniswap was founded by Hayden Adams, a graduate of Stony Brook University and a former mechanical engineer at Siemens. Inspired by a blog and Reddit post by Vitalik Buterin, Adams received a grant from the Ethereum Foundation and launched the protocol in November 2018. Uniswap Labs raised a seed round from Paradigm and, in August 2020, received $11 million in its Series A round led by ​​Andreessen Horowitz.

Uniswap V3 launched in May of 2021, almost 2.5 years after the first version was released, and a year after Uniswap V2 was launched.

## What Is Uniswap (V3) Polygon?

Uniswap is a [decentralized exchange](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-exchange-dex) (DEX) that introduced the [automated market maker](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/automated-market-maker-amm) (AMM) model for the first time in the market. With this innovation, traders tap into a constant pool of liquidity and trade against an algorithm using a constant product formula. With its V3 version, the exchange branched out to blockchains other than [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/) for the first time. 

After the introduction of the AMM model in V1, the V2 version allowed trading between different [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) token pairs instead of [swaps](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/token-swap) between [ETH](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/) and ERC-20 tokens. This reduced [slippage](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/slippage) and introduced protocol fees to continue the exchange’s development. The V2 version also introduced [wrapped Ether](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-wrapped-ethereum-weth) instead of native Ether as liquidity for token pairs.

In the V3 version, [liquidity providers ](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity-provider-tokens-lp-tokens)can build unique price curves and centralize their capital at desired prices to improve capital efficiency. It also activated automatic removal of capital if prices change significantly and exceed the LP’s price range. With the introduction of V3, Uniswap also launched on Polygon for the first time. Thanks to its lower gas fees, users can now access a much more affordable trading experience
