## About HeliSwap

HeliSwap is an open-source decentralized exchange (DEX) platform that supports tokens within the Hedera ecosystem. The codebase for HeliSwap v1 is a fork of the Uniswap v2 protocol, which means some of the most popular DEX features are now available on Hedera Hashgraph.

## Value proposition

HeliSwap is designed to put the community and its needs at the center of everything we do. Every product and feature we have created was built in the belief that DeFi needs to be easy to use and intuitive for everyone. Not only to ensure the long term viability of the platform, while at the same time offering a trustless, secure and transparent DeFi experience, but also to allow all members to be part of a vibrant and engaged community.

We believe that the future of Hedera is community-driven, and we're excited to build it together -with **you.**
