Uniswap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) for the exchange of cryptocurrencies, created on the basis of Ethereum in 2018. The platform uses the native token UNI to provide liquidity. As of January 23, the trading volume exceeds $917 million, UNI ranks 19th in the cryptocurrency ranking with a capitalization of $5,1 billion and is trading at $6,77, down by 0,38% in 24 hours.

Details on the initiative. Among the main reasons for deploying the protocol on BNB Chain, the community cited a large and growing user base, as well as high speed and low fees on the network. In addition, BNB Chain offers staking functionality and cross-chain support. The ecosystem and the Binance brand could be triggers to attract new users to Uniswap and significantly expand the list of services offered by the protocol. A total of 6495 users took part in the vote, with more than 80% supporting the proposed initiative.
