Decentralized exchange (DEX) Uniswap has been forked by developers after its Business Source License (BSL) expired on April 1.

The fork, according to DeFiLlama, has already attracted $123 million in total value locked (TVL) with the majority of capital locked on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC)

Uniswap documentation reveals that as of April 1 the code became open source. This was planned since the upgrade to version 3 in 2021 as the license was only valid for two years.

Uniswap remains one of the largest decentralized exchanges in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, commanding more than $4 billion in TVL across all blockchains.

Two weeks ago Uniswap expanded its product by going live on the BNB Chain following a unanimous governance vote.

The Uniswap token (UNI) is currently trading at $6.32 having surged by 6.11% in the past 24-hours, according to CoinDesk data.
