Maple vs Uniswap

Maple Finance is an on‑chain capital‑markets platform that enables under‑collateralised loans to trading firms and Web3 businesses via permissioned lending pools. Pool delegates perform credit assessment and share in origination fees, while lenders earn a fixed yield plus default protection through an insurance ‘cover’ pool. As of 2025 Maple has originated over $2.3 billion across both Ethereum and Solana deployments.

Uniswap V3 pioneered concentrated liquidity ranges and multiple fee tiers, letting LPs choose custom price curves and earn up to 4000 × higher fee capital efficiency. It introduced NFTs to represent positions and a licence that restricts commercial forks for two years. As of 2025 V3 is deployed on more than 15 chains and retains over 60 % DEX market share by volume.
