What is a uniswap flash swap contract?

Hello, I’m trying to understand two NFT’s that I have in my wallet. I don’t really do NFT’s so to find them was strange. One is a pink uniswap flash swap contract and the other just says “rarible”. Ive read some information about flash swaps, but I can’t seem to find any info pertaining to mines exclusively. The information that I’ve found is that it’s used for loans or such, which makes it even more confusing. The only relatable information I have is that I did made a few trades on uni, but nothing on rarible. They just appeared out of the blue and I think it’s a potential scam but I don’t know. Any help identifying them would be great. Thanks

  3. If you just randomly got them then they’re definitely a scam.

    They’ll likely lead to some website where you connect to the contract where it then drains your wallet.

    I believe flash swaps are when you do multiple swaps in the same block sandwiching a flash loan. Usually for arbitrage reasons. Either across multiple dexes and/or multiple trading pairs for example
