In this episode, we're joined by Devin Walsh, Co-Founder of the Uniswap Foundation. We dive into the Uniswap ecosystem, discussing the Foundation’s mission, its short- and long-term goals, and how the Uniswap Foundation is allocating capital via grants. We speak about the significance of Uniswap V4, and Hooks, the protocol pushes forward in becoming the liquidity layer of the Internet. We address the current state of Uniswap’s decentralization, and explore the composition and recent developments related to Uniswap’s key stakeholders, so developers, LPs, traders, tokenholders, and delegates. Finally, we conclude with Devin's insights on Uniswap's responses to regulatory challenges and its vision for the future. Tune in for a deep dive into the fundamentals of Uniswap.
