On Tuesday, decentralized exchange Uniswap launched an interface that directly converts ERC-20 tokens — such as Aave, Chainlink’s LINK and Decentraland’s MANA — to Ether (ETH). The coins are then sent to the official crypto wallet addresses of the Ukrainian government, all in a single transaction.
In explaining the rollout, Uniswap claimed that the address shared by Ukraine is located on a centralized exchange and only accepts Ether and Tether (USDT). Thus, the feature simplifies the donation process for anyone holding ERC-20 tokens on Uniswap’s list and who wishes to donate by connecting their wallet to the DEX.
