Uniswap on Common: Native Swaps for Every Community
Liquidity meets coordination — powered by Uniswap and guided by the Common whitepaper.
Today marks a major step toward fully onchain coordination: Uniswap swaps are now natively integrated into Common.
Communities can now swap tokens directly from their home on Common. No extra tabs, no bridges, no friction. This integration brings liquidity into the core of community coordination. Powered by Uniswap and live today on Base, the feature turns every community page into a hub for governance, discovery, and markets — all in one place.
Why It Matters
Before today, community token economies required members to leave their coordination hub. Launch a token on Common, want to trade it? You'd need to open a new tab, navigate to a DEX, find the pool, and execute the swap. By then, momentum is lost. Friction kills adoption.
Now, swaps happen where coordination happens. A DAO can mint a governance token and members discover and trade it without leaving the platform. A community can run a participation loop and reward members with a token they can immediately trade or hold. A project can bootstrap liquidity while the community stays focused on building.
In the Common Whitepaper, we describe how coordination evolves when incentives, intelligence, and liquidity converge. Common's thesis is simple: every community is an economy, and every economy needs its own market layer.
With Uniswap embedded directly into Common, that layer now exists. Members can price-discover, trade, and govern within the same interface. This is the first realization of the whitepaper's vision: "Loops turn events into markets, and markets coordinate action."
Live on Base, Expanding Soon

For Every Community Builder
Whether you're coordinating a DAO, bootstrapping community participation through loops, or building a token economy from scratch, swaps are now native to your coordination stack.
With Uniswap liquidity, Base scalability, and Common's incentive architecture, communities can now operate as dynamic economies. Members trade, participate in governance, and engage in loops—all without breaking context. Swaps make coordination not just social, but economic.
The Vision Ahead
This is just the beginning. As liquidity deepens and loops layer on top of market activity, communities will be able to:
- Self-fund: Token emissions reward participation; trading creates sustainable revenue streams
- Self-govern: Governance decisions backed by skin-in-the-game economics
- Self-sustain: Economic activity within the community creates incentives for continued growth and participation
