Uniswap
7.6/10 total
The reference on-chain DEX. No account, no custodian, no KYC at the protocol level. Same-chain only, EVM ecosystem, and every swap is permanently public on-chain, which is a privacy trade-off people routinely underestimate.
Scores
Weights are published in the method and applied identically to every entry.
For
- Fully non-custodial, protocol is immutable and open source
- Deepest liquidity in DeFi for major EVM pairs
- No account or verification of any kind
Against
- Same-chain only: no BTC, no XMR, no cross-chain
- Every trade is permanently public and linkable to your address
- The hosted front end geoblocks some tokens and regions
- Gas costs dominate on small swaps
Agent access 7/10
No account or key, but access is via SDK and on-chain calls rather than a quote-to-execute REST surface. The agent needs routing competence.
Reported separately and not counted in the total. It measures what an autonomous agent can do unattended, not whether the service is safe to use.
Fees
0.05% – 1% pool fee
Pool tier plus gas plus a small interface fee on the hosted front end. Using a self-hosted front end avoids the latter.
