Uniswap primary-source snapshot

Fetched: 2026-04-23 UTC

1) Official developer docs

Source: https://developers.uniswap.org/docs/get-started/concepts/how-uniswap-works

Selected excerpts from official docs:

Uniswap is a decentralized exchange protocol built on Ethereum.

Instead of relying on order books, Uniswap is an automated market maker (AMM) … that let anyone swap tokens, provide liquidity, or create new markets directly onchain.

The protocol is open-source, non-upgradeable, and designed for decentralization, censorship resistance, and self-custody.

Notes

• Uniswap is a good example of a project whose official technical papers are still important primary sources even though the live docs are now the easiest operational reference.
