In addition to being the leading decentralized exchange (DEX), Uniswap is one of the biggest applications in decentralized finance (DeFi) today. At its core, it is a protocol that allows you to swap tokens without having to go through a centralized exchange (CEX) and tedious registration processes.

As such, there has never been a better time to learn how to make use of this DEX. In this guide, we’ll show you how to connect your MetaMask wallet to Uniswap.
