Uniswap
UNIPioneering decentralized automated market maker (AMM) protocol on Ethereum.
Résumé exécutif
Uniswap is a leading decentralized exchange (DEX) protocol created in 2018 by Hayden Adams on Ethereum. Utilizing Automated Market Maker (AMM) contrats intelligents, Uniswap enables peer-to-peer cryptocurrency swaps without order books or central intermediaries.
Fonctionnement & Architecture
Mécanique d'Automated Market Maker (AMM)
Instead of matching buyers and sellers on a traditional order book, Uniswap relies on liquidity pools deposited by users (liquidity providers).
Price determination follows the constant product formula (x * y = k), automatically adjusting token exchange rates based on pool reserve ratios.
Concentrated Liquidity & Governance (UNI)
Advanced protocol iterations (Uniswap v3 and v4) introduced concentrated liquidity, enabling liquidity providers to allocate capital within customized price bounds for maximum fee efficiency.
The UNI governance token empowers holders to vote on protocol treasury allocations, fee tiers, and ecosystem development proposals.

Foire Aux Questions
Q: Qu'est-ce que an Automated Market Maker (AMM)?
An AMM is a smart contract mechanism that holds liquidity pools of tokens, pricing trades automatically based on mathematical algorithms rather than order books.
Q: Qu'est-ce que Impermanent Loss?
Impermanent loss occurs when the relative price ratio of pooled tokens changes significantly compared to when they were deposited, resulting in lower value than holding the assets outright.
