Growth of Liqudity Providers
Uniswap quickly became the leading Decentralized Exchange (DEX) after its launch, partly because of the ease of use. The effectiveness of Uniswap hinges on two groups of users: the traders executing swaps and the users that provide liquidity to facilitate the trading. Without the liquidity providers, traders would experience steep price impacts that negatively affect them. Without the traders, liquidity providers will experience little to no return on the provided capital which would make it a poor investment strategy.
