How it works?
Overview
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]

Constant Product Formula[1][2]
x * y = k
Concentrated Liquidity (CL)
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).

Range Limit Orders
Questions
- How does the relate to DGF?
- Can it help with validation pool REP management and redistribution? [Context: Odra Collaboration]
- 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.
