How it works?[edit | edit source]

Overview[edit | edit source]

Uniswap is an automated liquidity protocol powered by a constant product formula and implemented in a system of non-upgradeable smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain.[1]

Timeline[edit | edit source]

Version Evolution[edit | edit source]

V1 V2 V3
V1 Vyper: ETH20-ETH NA NA
V2 Solidity: ETH20-ETH20 NA
V3 Ethereum and Optimism Concentrated Liquidty, Active Liquidity, Range Limit Orders.
  • Focuses on capital efficiency

Concepts[edit | edit source]

Liquidity Pools[edit | edit source]

Swaps[edit | edit source]

Constant Product Formula[1][2][edit | edit source]

x * y = k

Concentrated Liquidity (CL)[edit | edit source]

As long as the pairing of ETH and DAI stay within a range ($1500-2500), User Red who invested much less than User Blue ($1200 vs. $10,000) can still earn the same trading fees (see Figure CL).

Figure CL: An example of how Uniswap V3's concentrated liquidity concept works.[3]

Active Liquidity[edit | edit source]

Range Limit Orders[edit | edit source]

Questions[edit | edit source]

  1. How does the relate to DGF?
    1. Can it help with validation pool REP management and redistribution? [Context: Odra Collaboration]
      1. REP and cryptocurrencies are fundamentally different. REP is meant to be a low velocity asset that has non-fungible qualities and generally non-tradeable vs. normal digital currencies. Additionally, a validation pool is not a liquidity pool[4] and should not be treated as such.
