Uniswap is a decentralized exchange where users can swap cryptocurrency tokens and <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/learn/what-are-nfts-and-why-are-they-revolutionizing-the-art-world">nonfungible tokens (NFTs)</a>. The Uniswap NFT marketplace has handled over 250 million swaps since its inception in 2018. Uniswap’s protocol consists of <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/learn/what-are-smart-contracts-a-beginners-guide-to-automated-agreements">smart contracts</a>, which are persistent and non-upgradeable at the contract level but can still undergo upgrades and improvements through governance processes. This has facilitated<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/learn/what-is-blockchain-interoperability-a-beginners-guide-to-cross-chain-technology"> Uniswap and NFT interoperability</a>, making it possible to trade NFTs on several blockchains, including Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon.
Uniswap leverages ERC-721 NFT contracts, which offer a unique ID to identify each NFT. These ERC-721 tokens on Uniswap are nonfungible and facilitate the exchanging of NFTs and keeping track of ownership.
The protocol contains a suite of tools, including an NFT aggregator, which facilitates swapping digital assets like<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/learn/what-is-ethereum-a-beginners-guide-to-eth-cryptocurrency"> Ethereum</a> NFTs on Uniswap. This<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/explained/uniswap-and-automated-market-makers-explained"> guide to Uniswap</a> NFT trading explores how users can go about trading digital assets on Uniswap.

Uniswap has developed a suite of software tools that operate on the Uniswap protocol, facilitating UNFT trading and cryptocurrency swapping. These tools include:
<ul>
 <li aria-level="1">Uniswap app: A mobile app for exploring, sending, swapping and buying NFTs and cryptocurrencies.</li>
 <li aria-level="1">Uniswap Web app: It does the same job as the Uniswap app but on your desktop or laptop.</li>
 <li aria-level="1">Uniswap NFT aggregator: An aggregator marketplace that integrates<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/learn/defi-a-comprehensive-guide-to-decentralized-finance"> elements of DeFi</a> and NFTs on Uniswap. This tool helps track all listings across major marketplaces and exchanges, helping traders find the best deals.</li>
</ul>
In November 2022, Uniswap launched a new set of smart contracts aimed at enhancing security and optimizing costs within the platform:
<ul>
 <li aria-level="1">Permit 2: Allowed sharing and managing of token approval across different applications, improving security, creating a unified platform and reducing costs.</li>
 <li aria-level="1">Universal router: Integrated with Permit 2, unifying NFT and <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/explained/erc-20-tokens-explained">ERC-20</a> swapping in a single swap router. This allows users to swap multiple NFTs and tokens in a single transaction, thereby saving on gas fees.</li>
</ul>
These smart contracts were widely adopted by developer ecosystems within Uniswap, contributing to the platform’s efficiency and effectiveness.
