Uniswap is made up of a series of smart contracts, each the venue for a unique ERC-20⇄ERC-20 pair. Pair smart contracts hold reserves (balances) of their constituent tokens, and define rules around how these reserves can be changed. Anyone can become a liquidity provider for a pair by depositing an equivalent value of each token in exchange for pool tokens. These tokens track liquidity providers’ pro-rata shares of the total reserves, and can be redeemed for the underlying assets at any time.

Price is determined by the ratio of HEX to ETH in the liquidity pool. Anybody can provide liquidity, but must provide BOTH Hex and ETH at the current designated ratio (or price).

If somebody buys Hex (Adds ETH, removes Hex), then the ratio of Hex to ETH in the pool changes, which in turn moves the price. Due to this, nobody can exhaust either side of the pool without severe slippage in price.

Test this out yourself by inputting high amounts of ETH or HEX at hexdex.win. You can see the estimated slippage in price, and the estimated amount of HEX/ETH you will receive back.

• Liquidity pool has 100 ETH and 1,000,000 Hex, making the 'Before price': 1 ETH = 10,000 Hex
• Somebody buys 50,000 Hex by putting 5 ETH into the pool
• 5 ETH added = 105 ETH total in Liquidity Pool
• 50,000 Hex removed = 950,000 Hex in Liquidity Pool
• 950,000/105 = New Price: 1 ETH = 9,047 HEX
• The average price paid for the transaction would be 1 ETH = 9523.5 Hex
