In a bid to render support to the ongoing political situation in Ukraine, decentralized exchange (DEX) Uniswap has created an interface that allows users to swap any ERC-20 token for Ethereum (ETH) and donate it to the Ukrainian government, all in a single transaction.
Uniswap took to its official Twitter page on Tuesday to tweet:
“To ensure that everyone who wants to donate ERC-20 tokens to the Ukrainian government can do so, we built an interface that swaps any token for ETH and then sends it directly to the Ukrainian government in a single transaction.”
In addition, the protocol also explained further about the one-click. It said; the interface is built in a way that anyone who wishes to donate but holds other ERC-20 tokens, can do so in just a single click.
