The BIG Integration Of Coinmarketcap.com & Uniswap.
As we know that the Uniswap is one of the decentralized exchanges (DEX) which allow users to swap an ERC-20 token for another ERC-20 token and for this we do not have to deposit the tokens on an exchange and no risk for exposure like Centralized exchange.
We just need an Ethereum wallet like Metamask and with this, we can immediately swap tokens. Users can then swap tokens directly without an order book.
Now the good news for Coinmarketcap users that Uniswap is now directly integrated on the coinmarketcp.com site wherein users can directly swap the Ethereum-based tokens through Uniswap.
The Swap feature can be located on the bottom side at the right corner.
This feature is already active on a coinmarketcp.com site, also the swap feature is enabled on a supported coin like Aave, DAI, and more.
Once you are on the supported coin page the swap feature allows you to directly swap from the same page, the user just needs to click the swap feature and then swap the coin, like below.
Blockchain Explorer On Coinmarketcap.com.
Let's first understand what is Blockchain Explorer, it is just like software or a website that uses API and Nodes of blockchain to collect the user's data, then store that data in a sequence and allow the same to users in a searchable format.
This service provides all details that executed on the Blockchain and this data is open publicly hence it calls a Blockchain explorer that explores all details on a blockchain.
Users just need to make sure that they are on the correct Blockchain that has access to their Blockchain.
Now Blockchain Explorer information can also be found on Coinmarketcap.com. Yes, under Core feature Product there is a sub option available for Blockchain Explorer.
Once you click on Blockchain Explorer, then it will get open on a separate page and allow you to view supported blockchain Explorer.
Currently Blockchain Explorer available for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Binance Coin, everything on one page.
