Uniswap is a decentralized crypto trading protocol that uses smart contracts and an automated market maker model to let users swap tokens through liquidity pools, while UNI is its native governance token that gives holders a say in protocol decisions. Unlike the native token of a Layer 1 blockchain, UNI is primarily tied to governance of the Uniswap protocol rather than network security or gas fees.

NEAR is the native token of NEAR Protocol, a Layer 1 blockchain designed around scalability, usability, and smart contract execution. Its architecture uses sharding to divide network processing across multiple shards, allowing the protocol to scale without requiring every part of the network to process every transaction.

Ethereum is a blockchain network designed to support digital assets, smart contracts, and decentralized applications. Unlike a blockchain focused primarily on transferring its native asset, Ethereum provides a programmable environment where developers can deploy applications and users can interact with onchain programs.

Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital asset and peer-to-peer payment network introduced through the Bitcoin white paper in 2008. It records transactions on a public blockchain and uses cryptographic signatures and proof-of-work mining to verify transfers without a central authority.
