Uniswap V2

Description sourced from DeFiLlama's protocol metadata; teams submit their own copy when listing.

DeFiLlama publishes the exact rules used to aggregate on-chain balances into the headline TVL figure shown on this page. The methodology below is the team's own source-of-truth description.

Counts the tokens locked on AMM pools, pulling the data from the 'ianlapham/uniswapv2' subgraph

If a contract or vault isn't in this list, its balance does not contribute to the TVL displayed on Mantapex or DeFiLlama.

Uniswap V2 is published as a versioned release inside the Uniswap protocol family. Releases inside the same family typically share governance, brand, and large parts of the audit history, but each version can run materially different contract logic — a release labelled v2 or v3 is not just a UI refresh. Newer versions inside a family typically launch with their own audit cycle and parameter set, so do not assume the previous release's safety record carries over without checking the linked audit reports.

Fork lineage and parent-protocol relationships are tracked by DeFiLlama for security and audit-history attribution; a fork inherits the upstream design but not necessarily the upstream audits or governance.

Uniswap V2 is a DEX — a decentralised exchange where users swap assets against on-chain liquidity pools rather than a central order book. It is deployed across 12 chains, including Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum and 8 other chains. The codebase has been independently audited (3 reports on file).

Uniswap V2 runs a multi-chain deployment, with smart contracts live on 12 networks. Roughly 99% of its on-chain value sits on just three networks (Ethereum, Base, Polygon), so a fault on any one of them would affect a large slice of users. 3 public audit reports are linked from DeFiLlama, which is on the higher end of transparency for the DeFi sector — most protocols of comparable TVL publish far fewer.
