Episode notes

Uniswap X is not an AMM. It is a order router, an order optimizer. And so we have all of this expressive liquidity protocols that we call AMMs; Uniswap's one through four. We want to build the ultimate kind of like fill, you know, decentralized kind of order flow network and there's like a broader industry around us that are also working on these problems. But I think it's a really big moment for the industry because uni swap is still very dominant in terms of how much people use it.

It's ETHCC time, the Ethereum Community Conference where groundbreaking announcements are made. And ahead of the conference, Uniswap Labs has already released their latest protocol, Uniswap X, a game-changing addition to the Uniswap ecosystem. Uniswap X is the missing piece that makes Uniswap the ultimate destination for token swappers.

In this episode, we have Hayden Adams, the creator of Uniswap, revealing the ins and outs of Uniswap X. This protocol ensures competitive order execution in DeFi, safeguarding swappers from MEV extractors, arbitrageurs, and front runners, so that everyday users can secure the best possible deals.

Discover how Uniswap X employs a Dutch auction to maximize returns, while reducing bridge risks and enhancing efficiency in DeFi trading.
