  Uniswap calculates fees for transactions based on a formula that takes into account the liquidity of the pools and the amount of tokens being swapped. The fees are determined by the protocol and are paid to liquidity providers as a reward for providing liquidity to the platform. The formula used by Uniswap ensures that fees increase as the liquidity of a pool decreases, incentivizing users to provide liquidity to less liquid pools. This helps to maintain a balanced and efficient market on Uniswap.

  When you make a transaction on Uniswap, the fees you pay are determined by the amount of tokens you are swapping and the liquidity of the pools. The fees are automatically calculated by the Uniswap protocol and are deducted from the total amount of tokens you are swapping. These fees are then distributed to liquidity providers as a reward for their participation in the platform. The fee calculation algorithm ensures that fees increase as the liquidity of a pool decreases, which encourages users to provide liquidity to less liquid pools and helps to maintain a healthy and efficient market on Uniswap.
