What it is

Uniswap does not hold, control, or have access to the contents of your wallet. If you lose access to your wallet or send assets to the wrong address, Uniswap cannot help you recover anything.

This analysis describes what Uniswap's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

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.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If users lose their wallet credentials, fall victim to a scam, or make a transaction error, Uniswap has no ability or obligation to recover those assets, meaning all crypto losses are final and unrecoverable through Uniswap.

"
Each of the Products is a purely non-custodial application, meaning we do not ever have custody, possession, or control of your digital assets at any time. It further means you are solely responsible for the custody of the cryptographic private keys to the digital asset wallets you hold and you should never share your wallet credentials or seed phrase with anyone. We accept no responsibility for, or liability to you, in connection with your use of a wallet.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

The non-custodial wallet structure is designed to place Uniswap outside the definition of a money transmitter or custodian under FinCEN regulations and analogous state money transmission laws; however, regulators may assess the totality of the platform's functionality when determining whether licensing obligations apply.
