Protocol, Interface, Labs
To begin, we should make clear the distinctions between the different areas of "Uniswap", some of which may confuse new users.
- Ring Labs: The company which developed the Ring protocol, along with the web interface.
- Ring Protocol: A suite of persistent, non-upgradable smart contracts that together create an automated market maker, a protocol that facilitates peer-to-peer market making and swapping of ERC-20 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain.
- Ring Interface: A web interface that allows for easy interaction with the Ring protocol. The interface is only one of many ways one may interact with the Ring protocol.
