Uniswap was launched in 2018. Since its establishment, the exchange has processed over 200 million transactions.

Uniswap is a multi-chain exchange. That means it runs on several blockchains, including BNB Smart Chain, Base, Polygon, and Ethereum. To facilitate NFT trading, Uniswap employs numerous tools, like an NFT aggregator that identifies the best deals for users.

Further, the exchange is available as both a web app and a mobile app, thus allowing NFT traders to transact anywhere, anytime.

Over the years, Uniswap has shown its dedication to innovation with the aim of giving users an excellent trading experience.

Also, it launched Universal Router, which allows the swapping of multiple tokens and NFTs in a single transaction, thus enabling users to save on network fees.
