How $UNI Works?
Uniswap allows anyone to submit any tokenpair at a ratio of 50/50 as a reserve. Trades are made in the absence of any middlemen against these token pairs.
0.3% of every trade is awarded to the liquidity providers in proportion to the total amount of liquidity. Once the trade is executed, the fee is added to the liquidity pool which is redeemable for Liquidity providers when they take back their liquidity.
In case of diverging prices on Uniswap from the outside market, arbitrageurs are incentivized to buy or sell the diverging tokens. This pushes the price toward the overall market price.
