Excuse me, could you please explain why the transaction costs on Uniswap are so high? I've noticed that swapping tokens can be quite expensive, and I'm curious to know if there's a specific reason behind this. Is it due to the decentralized nature of the platform, or are there other factors that contribute to the higher fees? It would be great if you could clarify this for me. Thank you.

The swapping fees incurred during transactions are instantly credited to the liquidity reserves. This mechanism serves a dual purpose: enhancing the overall liquidity of the platform and rewarding liquidity providers.

By augmenting the liquidity reserves, the value of liquidity tokens increases. This increase in value directly benefits all liquidity providers who hold these tokens.

The payout to liquidity providers is proportional to their share in the liquidity pool. This ensures fairness and incentivizes participants to contribute more to the pool.

The fees collected are processed by burning a proportional amount of liquidity tokens. This process removes a corresponding share of the underlying reserves, ensuring a balanced ecosystem.

The burning of liquidity tokens is an essential component of the fee structure. It helps maintain the integrity of the system by reducing the total supply of tokens in circulation.
