Uniswap’s position as the market’s biggest DEX speaks volumes for its DeFi capabilities. Well, the same has now been verified by its developmental activities.
A crypto-market analytics platform recently reported that Uniswap is the most developed project on Github over the last 30 days. In fact, its developmental activity was found to be almost three times that of Solana.
