The verdict

Visual execution leads for Uniswap

Uniswap receives a Sensei score of 79/100. Visual execution leads at 80/100, while functional clarity sits at 64/100. That spread gives this product review a concrete shape: the stronger layer establishes the page's baseline, and the lower layer identifies where another pass could be most useful.

Observed UX signals

  • Majorfunctional

    Task Clarity

    The swap interface shows two input fields labeled 'Sell' and 'Buy' with placeholder values of '0' and '$0', but the primary action path is ambiguous. Users must infer whether they should enter a token amount first, select a token, or click 'Get started' to proceed. The 'Select token' button is visually prominent but its relationship to the input fields is unclear.

  • Majorfunctional

    Accessibility

    11 images lack alt text, including the Uniswap logo, token icons (ETH, USDC, WBTC), and network logos. Several images have alt='null' which is semantically invalid. This creates barriers for screen reader users and fails WCAG 2.1 Level A compliance.

  • Majorfunctional

    State Design

    The swap form shows no visible states for empty, loading, error, or success conditions. The input fields display placeholder '0' values but provide no guidance on what happens after submission. No loading indicator, error message template, or success confirmation is visible in the captured interface.
