The non-custodial structure defines the operational relationship between the platform and user assets: Uniswap provides application functionality but does not assume custodial obligations or corresponding liability. This allocation establishes that asset security and key management remain entirely within the user's domain of control and responsibility.
The updated terms establish new contractual representations that users must make when agreeing to the agreement. Users now represent that they are not subject to economic or trade sanctions administered by any governmental authority, including OFAC lists, and that they are not citizens or residents of sanctioned jurisdictions. Users also represent that their access and use will comply with all applicable laws and will not be used to conduct or facilitate illegal activity. These representations are legally binding attestations that may be verified. Users in OFAC-sanctioned countries cannot truthfully make these representations and would be unable to use the platform.
View change record →The updated terms establish new restrictions on user conduct and add affirmative representations regarding asset eligibility. Users trading tokenized real-world assets (such as tokenized stocks, ETFs, or commodities) must now represent that they have reviewed issuer information and comply with any restrictions on trading or holding those assets. The terms also explicitly prohibit circumventing access restrictions, including geographic blocks and transfer limitations imposed by token issuers. By continuing to use the platform, users affirm they are legally eligible to trade tokens under their jurisdiction's laws.
View change record →The updated terms establish that Uniswap does not warrant that any digital asset accessible through its products is available for trading, holding, or transacting in your jurisdiction, or that you are legally permitted to do so. The revised language places the burden on you to determine whether a digital asset is lawfully available to you and to comply with any applicable transfer restrictions imposed by asset issuers or regulatory authorities. This means accessing or trading an asset through the Uniswap interface does not constitute Uniswap's determination that you are eligible to do so under your local laws.
