On Thursday, the Uniswap team announced via X that the Uniswap Developer Platform is now live, giving developers everything they need to build with Uniswap.
The new platform includes;
-
New docs site: AI toolkit and skills, API playground, technical guides, and quickstarts to make building simple.
-
API dashboard: generate and manage API keys for swapping and LPing with the Uniswap API.
Uniswap has shipped new skills to support teams at the edge of this design space, and the Developer Platform is AI-first by design with features like the ability to open any page with the LLM of choice.
The Uniswap API makes it easy to integrate swaps into any app without building custom trading infrastructure. ~200ms routing speeds, >97% fill rates, and coverage for 10M+ assets across 18 chains. It's the same infrastructure behind Uniswap apps, OKX, Fireblocks, Talos, Anchorage Digital, and more.
Uniswap is a decentralized exchange protocol built on Ethereum. To be more precise, it is an automated liquidity protocol. No order book or centralized party is required to make trades.
Uniswap is a popular decentralized trading protocol, known for its role in facilitating automated trading of decentralized finance (DeFi) tokens.
An example of an automated market maker (AMM), Uniswap launched in November 2018, but has gained considerable popularity this year thanks to the DeFi phenomenon and associated surge in token trading.
Uniswap aims to keep token trading automated and completely open to anyone who holds tokens, while improving the efficiency of trading versus that on traditional exchanges.
Uniswap creates more efficiency by solving liquidity issues with automated solutions, avoiding the problems that plagued the first decentralized exchanges.
UNI, the native token of Uniswap, is currently trading at $3.37, up 4.2% in the last 24 hours.
