This provision asserts a structural and legal separation between Uniswap Labs as the Interface operator and the underlying Protocol as autonomous open-source smart contracts. This distinction is Uniswap Labs' stated position and is relevant to ongoing regulatory analysis of whether the Interface operator's role constitutes broker-dealer, exchange, or money transmission activity under applicable law; the regulatory determination of this question is not settled by this agreement language.
Interpretive note: The regulatory significance of this provision depends on unresolved legal and regulatory determinations regarding whether Interface operators constitute regulated financial intermediaries under applicable U.S. and international law.
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.
View change record →Under this clause, the agreement asserts that Uniswap Labs bears no responsibility for trade execution, liquidity pool operations, or digital asset transactions conducted through the Protocol, and that users transact with the Protocol directly rather than with Uniswap Labs. The practical implication of this disclaimer for regulatory protection, dispute recourse, or liability allocation depends on how regulators and courts characterize Uniswap Labs' role, which this agreement language alone does not determine.

"The Interface is distinct from the Uniswap Protocol and is one, but not the exclusive, means of accessing the Protocol. The Protocol itself has four versions, designated as v1, v2, v3, and v4, each of which comprises open-source or source-available self-executing smart contracts that are deployed on various public blockchains, such as Ethereum. Uniswap Labs does not control or operate any version of the Protocol on any blockchain network. By using the Interface, you understand that you are not buying or selling digital assets from us and that we do not operate any liquidity pools on the Protocol or control trade execution on the Protocol.Excerpt from Uniswap's Terms of Service
