What makes it unique is the fact that it allows users to list tokens on the exchange without paying any fees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Normal centralized exchanges such as Binance and Coinbase are profit-driven, and they charge high fees to users who want to list new coins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uniswap is a fully decentralized exchange; hence users can maintain control of their funds at all times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Do you know you can earn up to a 5x fee on your LP tokens?<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Uniswap?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Uniswap<\/a> LP tokens as collateral in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MakerDAO?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MakerDAO<\/a>.
