So, how does Uniswap work?
What is Uniswap?
Uniswap is a decentralised exchange designed to make exchanging Ethereum (ERC-20) tokens simple. It removes the need for a centralised intermediary, so users can exchange their funds without having to trust a third party.
The platform utilizes a simple mathematical equation for liquidity pools to enable the exchange of tokens. Whenever these are not in equilibrium, Uniswap’s math brings them back into balance. Users are incentivised to bring the pools back into balance.
Benefits
No-intermediary: as Uniswap is decentralised, users’ funds are never sent to a third party, eliminating third-party riskPermissionless: Anyone with an internet connection can trade on Uniswap
What is UNI?
UNI was launched in September 2020. UNI is Uniswap’s governance token that allows users to vote on protocol changes.Cryptonary's opinion
Uniswap is the OG decentralised exchange that’s trying to maintain friendliness with regulators. It currently has 0 value accrual for its token. Given that UNI is a governance token, though, UNI holders will vote revenue-sharing into existence, and that’s when UNI becomes fundamentally valuable.Risk: There is a regulatory risk of DeFi limiting innovation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
