DeFi is finally where it belongs. Uniswap is one of those DeFi apps vying in DeFi ecosystem. Thankfully, some of the most pressing challenges we face while banking on traditional finance is now a thing of the past.

DeFi has proven to be a force to reckon with since it's debut; what a journey it has been! I feel so incredibly happy to share this write-up with Web3 and blockchain technology enthusiasts and also people who are in the DeFi ecosystem.

Should in case you're not familiar with the word "**DeFi**", don't fret! Here's a sneak peak of what DeFi really is.

## What is DeFi?

DeFi stands for Decentralized Finance. One major advantage DeFi has over traditional finance is that anyone across the world can easily buy, trade, and sell crypto assets in a hassle-free manner. Additional, DeFi allows for the borrowing and lending of funds without the interference of middlemen or other bodies regulating financial transaction.

That brings us to Uniswap - one of the worlds most leading DeFi protocols that's allows users to trade Ethereum tokens. This article is centered on learning about UniswapDAO's tooling and onboarding process. After a few short year of Uniswap's inception, the Uniswap DAO emerged - in that regard, voting, governance and decision-making authority is controlled by the holders of the Uniswap (UNI) token.

## What is a DAO tool and examples of Uniswap DAO tool.

For clarity, DAO tools are those special software decentralized autonomous organizations leverage to facilitate the growth of the DAO, including funds management, incentives alignment, votes and rewarding contributors.
