Fun fact, the og owners of wanted 7 figures, but we refused to pay that amount So SBF bought it (for 7 figures) and pointed it to a fork - I guess to flex / mess with us This malicious use of the domain was enough for our legal team to get it for free

The most bullish AMM news today is not the official statement, but the comment letter from SEC Commissioner @HesterPeirce that went along with it “Truly decentralized systems that are driven by autonomous software… do not need need an exemption” (Aka normal permissionless Uniswap) The exemption applies to permissioned pools on Uniswap v4, creating a pathway for compliant trading in the US for assets and users where this is needed This can be incredibly useful for amm adoption, and we will be submitting a comment letter with proposed improvements

This week on @GSR_io’s The Crypto Tape: Uniswap protocol has done $5 trillion in trading volume. But when I sat down with @haydenzadams at the RWA Summit in Brooklyn, he still talked about what Uniswap is building like it’s in the early innings. We unpacked why Hayden thinks tokenization is really about the digitization of value, why automated market makers win on cost of capital rather than raw efficiency, and why he describes Uniswap as a liquidity network - not a decentralized exchange. We also got into what Robinhood chain reveals about the growth of both RWAs and memes, where firms like GSR fit as automated market makers reshape liquidity, and the distribution flywheel that can make a Uniswap pool effectively “listed on every exchange at once.” A wide-ranging conversation about where markets are heading and what the next generation of liquidity infrastructure could look like. Episode drops tomorrow.

Any sufficiently useful new technology deals with scams Phone calls, text messages, email, websites, social media etc - all rife with scam content, no filtering system is perfect No one argues it’s the fault of the core underlying protocols like smtp and https

Highest volume pool on Ethereum is the stable pair hook we released just 5 days ago And it's earning way higher returns for LPs We built v4 because we needed a faster way to build custom amm designs The world is not ready for the hooks we're building at Uniswap Labs 🦄🚀

Skill issue, don't route to bad hooks We're happy to help teams struggling with this problem. Or they could waste their time on dumb posts... v4 hooks have unlocked huge amounts of innovation visit if you want an api that: - has best prices on the markets - avoids malicious hooks - routes to all uniswap liquidity with no added fees - crosschain swaps - is now a full aggregator, integrating external liquidity with aggregator hooks

Any famous person that wants to launch a memecoin without disastrous results, just use Uniswap CCA It properly discovers where the market values a token + seeds deep liquidity at that price from the start, with sniping resistance Or keep getting rekt in the dark forest for no reason

Uniswap Labs creates distribution for hook builders in more ways than people realize! A few under-appreciated ones: Uniswap v4 allows for fast, expressive, and safe customization of liquidity pools. When it was announced, there was concern hooks would not be picked up in our routing Today, we're proud to say the Uniswap interface is able to route to most hooks instantly! Our app is not the only source of volume for hooks. We wanted to make sure other UIs were able to route to as many hooks as possible We built Uniswap API, offering our routing for free to anyone that wants it For projects that do their own routing, we built hooklist - a public repository of our hook categorization and safety information Advanced customizations can trigger a manual review or need for audits for security reasons, which can take a bit more time (although we've gotten quite fast there as well). Full details in the thread I'm quote tweeting. To help smaller teams, the Uniswap Foundation has been sponsoring some of these audits Additionally, the Uniswap UI pool creation flow now has a hook dropdown menu letting pool creators select from hundreds of pre-deployed community hooks. And the explore pages include hook meta data as well Thats far from an exhaustive list - we've also ramped up comarketing, made investments, provided technical support, and more! TLDR: build on Uniswap and we will help you succeed

They’re not worse if you want programmability, or to trade at night/weekend/holidays, live outside the US, don’t have a bank account, want to use them in DeFi apps/hold them in a crypto wallets, etc People always make the same mistake assessing early crypto PMF, focusing only on potential risks and downsides while ignoring the upsides leading to the PMF in the first place Early AMMs had downsides, but they still got adopted because the existing market structures poorly served so many users and use cases in the first place End of the day, tokenized stocks are pretty similar to early stablecoins - are they exactly the same as dollars? No. But they are meeting a user demand in a way that nothing else is.

To recap this mornings drama: CEO hears about tokenized stocks for the first time and immediately tries to do a citizens arrest on twitter Meanwhile, the tokenized stocks were carefully setup in a legal manner by a former sec commissioner
