Verdict
Uniswap does not require KYC to start trading and charges around 0.53% on its pool fee range. It scores 62.9/100 on the CompareCEX Score (58% of criteria verified), which suits more experienced users who've already weighed the trade-offs, rather than first-time beginners. Because it's a decentralized platform, you trade straight from your own wallet with self-custody — more control, but no company safety net if you lose your keys or send funds to the wrong address. Check the fee table, KYC and country availability, and security sections below before you decide — exchange terms change without notice and we re-verify data periodically rather than in real time, so always confirm against the source links.
