Uniswap Labs
Uniswap Labs is a DeFi & RWA company founded in 2018 and based in New York, United States. It has raised $176M in total funding, most recently a Series B in 2022 at a $1.7B valuation.
Founded in 2018 by Hayden Adams, Uniswap Labs is the New York-based developer behind the Uniswap protocol, one of the largest decentralized exchanges by trading volume. The company builds the web and mobile interfaces that route swaps through the on-chain Uniswap automated market maker, and in February 2025 launched Unichain, an Optimism OP Stack Layer-2 designed for DeFi. Uniswap Labs raised a $165 million Series B in October 2022 led by Polychain Capital at a reported $1.66 billion valuation. On December 25, 2025, the UNIfication governance proposal passed with 99.9% approval, turning on the protocol fee switch, burning 100 million UNI (roughly $596 million) from the treasury, and ending the fees Uniswap Labs had charged on its frontend interfaces.
Uniswap is the reference implementation of the automated market maker and the most-used DEX, making its developer a bellwether for on-chain trading.
