Uniswap.com users are redirected to competitor Sushiswap

Users of the Uniswap decentralized exchange trying to find it in the “.com” domain zone, when they go to the site, end up on the competing platform Sushiswap.

According to the Internet Archive, Uniswap.com was unavailable as early as May 1 – visitors were greeted with a stub. Apparently, Uniswap did not occupy the domain, and someone took advantage of this to redirect traffic. Uniswap.com is not affiliated with the official Uniswap pages, and the company that created the exchange, Uniswap Labs, owns the trademarks UNISWAP®, UNI ™ and UNISWAP LABS ™.

It is not known who used the domain this way and why. The developers of Sushiswap claim that they did not buy it, like any other domains in zones other than “.fi” and “.org”.

Until the end of 2017, Uniswap.com introduced an online marketplace for exchanging goods in the real world. From 2018 until early May, the site did not work. Previously, a similar situation occurred with the Pancake.com domain, the name of which is associated with the PancakeSwap exchange on the Binance Smart Chain blockchain. Since March, it has also redirected traffic to Sushiswap.

The third version of Uniswap launched last week, while Sushiswap launched a blockchain-based margin trading service.
