Uniswap is a peer-to-peer exchange that pays you fees for using your digital assets to provide liquidity for traders.
See ProductsGet startedTwo sided pools are used by automated market maker platforms like Uniswap and Sushiswap. Two sided pools always have two different tokens, for example USDC and ETH is a popular two sided pool on both Uniswap and Sushi Swap.
Automated market makers are a new type of exchange, where the two sided pools allow quick and easy swapping between one asset type and the other - for example between USDC and ETH. The bigger the pool, the easier it is for the market to swap larger and larger amounts of these tokens. As trading is very popular in DeFi, these pools are used a lot.
Every time someone trades across these pools, the liquidity providers earn a little piece of the trading fees. As a result of the popularity of trading in DeFi, the trading fees can quickly add up and returns of 15% or more per annum in just trading fees is quite normal for liquidity providers to earn at the moment.

I’m a huge fan of both Bitcoin and Ethereum, and always want to keep my portfolio balanced at around 50:50 by value. Providing liquidity to the wBTC:ETH Uniswap pool does that for me automatically AND earns me fees on top!
