Uniswap is widely regarded as the flagship Ethereum DEX brand–central to the “DeFi summer” era and still a primary venue for swapping ETH and ERC-20 tokens. In Ethereum SEO terms, Uniswap is synonymous with DEX trading, AMMs, liquidity pools, and permissionless token markets. DefiLlama reports Uniswap’s 24h volume around $6.35B alongside meaningful fee generation (reported $2.07M in 24h fees), reflecting its continued relevance even as multi-chain liquidity expands. For mainstream Ethereum adoption, Uniswap is often the first “onchain exchange” experience users encounter after moving funds from a centralized exchange.
Key metrics: 24h volume ~ $6.35B; 24h fees ~ $2.07M (DefiLlama).
