Episode notes

Uniswap was founded by hayden adams in 20 18. It's a decentralized exchange that lets any one create a market for anything, rather than relying on centralized and specific teams to be market makers. The company still exists because there's now a team of people that are really excited about all the things that we can build on top of the protocol.

Welcome back, this week Anita and Lucas interviewed MC Lader, COO of Uniswap Labs, the entity managing the world’s largest decentralized crypto exchange. A former managing director at asset management firm BlackRock, Lader explained how her management team oversees a fully decentralized protocol and shared her thoughts on the exchange’s future path to profitability.
