UNI is the governance token for the Uniswap exchange. It bestows holders with a say in how the platform is managed, giving them the power to put forward proposals, vote on changes and manage fees.
The token is inflationary and was originally distributed by an airdrop that retrospectively rewarded anyone who had used the exchange before 1 September 2020 with UNI tokens. Following the original airdrop, additional tokens were distributed through a liquidity mining program that expired on 17 November 2020. After this point, all remaining tokens are managed by the Uniswap treasury, which is governed by token holders.
Anyone that missed out on the initial airdrop and UNI distribution can purchase the token on a cryptocurrency exchange, just like any other token.
Cryptocurrency exchanges offer similar services, but differ in a few key ways – mainly fees, the range of cryptos available and payment methods. You can use our table to compare the features of popular cryptocurrency exchanges available in Australia to help you choose the one that's right for you.
Some other factors you may want to consider are customer support, user reviews, ease of use and whether or not the exchange is registered with a local regulator. This information can be found by clicking on the exchange name in the table which will take you to its review page.
To create an account on any cryptocurrency exchange you will need an email address. Some exchanges may also ask for a phone number and photo ID, so it's a good idea to have those ready.
An increasing number of cryptocurrency exchanges will ask to verify your identity before you can deposit funds and start trading Uniswap.
Once you've created an account, you will need to deposit funds to buy UNI with. You can either deposit local currency from a bank account or credit card, or transfer cryptocurrency from another exchange or wallet. Here are some popular ways to buy UNI:
The easiest way to buy UNI is by placing an 'instant buy' order to purchase it for a fixed price but not all crypto exchanges offer this feature.
Alternatively, you can open a trade on the spot market which allows you to set your own price – this is the most common way to purchase cryptocurrency. Using the instant buy feature is straightforward but typically more expensive than using the spot market.
