Uniswap discussion

[Daltonik]

Uniswap Labs, the company behind the largest decentralized platform Uniswap, has become the subject of an investigation by the SEC, The Wall Street Journal reports, the regulator's specialists are studying information about Uniswap and how investors interact with it. The publication suggested that the investigation is at an early stage and there is no question of any charges yet.

A representative of Uniswap Labs in a comment to the WSJ said that the company will send information to the SEC that can help the agency.  https://www.wsj.com/articles/regulators-investigate-crypto-exchange-developer-uniswap-labs-11630666800

"Decentralized trading protocol Uniswap is one of Ethereum’s biggest hits right now, and the breakout project has plenty more runway from here."

Indeed Uniswap is the best decentralized platform for now, but unfortunately this platform has not been able to solve the high fees when doing swaps. If coins listed on Uniswap are also listed on centralized exchanges, then crypto users will prefer to trade on centralized platforms.

DEFIVotes are in: over 7 million Uniswap holders in favor of Polygon’s deployment proposal
"The votes are in and the Uniswap community has spoken. Interestingly, almost 100% of the votes on a proposal to deploy Uniswap on Polygon were in favor of the integration. Thus, clearly highlighting the explosive popularity that layer-2 protocols have been receiving of late."

Uniswap has rolled out an update and it's just awesome. It would seem, where does 1inch have to do with it?

1/ Today, we’re excited to announce better pricing with Uniswap v2 support in the Auto Router, Layer 2 support, and real-time gas estimates in the Uniswap App. These changes will help you get the most out of every trade.

Uniswap is an exchange that I have been actively using since the last year, but after getting to know Pancake I switched to Pancake, I think the thing that makes Uniswap behind from Pancake is the unattractive farming and pool feature, hopefully there will be a farming and pool feature like Pancake so we can earn.

I have used Pancake as well, but lately I am using it rarely, since there is a lack of good projects there, and farms have lower yield than in April, May
that is why I migrated to Polygon and Fantom protocols, where fees are also lower than on Ethereum, but have solid projects as well

compared to December 2020, now we have a lot of alternatives for DeFi, and it is good to try it all, some surprise airdrops can hit you as well

Farming and pools on Pancake continue to decrease compared to a while ago, and for autostaking the APR is only 68%, this of course makes users prefer to switch to other pools, and today I farmed on ApeSwap with 99% APR (MATIC - BANANA), which I think is worth it to try.

I really cant wait for l2 support I think that will make uniswap more active in terms of trade again Gas fees on the ETH is really a turn-off for small traders especially during crazy days and opensea events are not helping matter at all I think l2 is a kind of way to wait up for eth 2.0 and polygon has the highest liquidity right now to support uniswap switch

uniswab is a decentralized exchange, and generally uniswab works automatically, so the fees are very uncontrollable, sometimes low and sometimes very high, so many crypto users switch to using a centralized platform so they can easily adjust fees when transacting, I think that weakness should be addressed immediately so as not to affect its future growth.

[abralzain17]

Yes, I think Uniswap is a decentralized exchange. generally considered a very safe exchange for trading crypto assets. The token exchange is also very safe because it does not require funds to be stored on the exchange. after all Uniswap smart contracts have also been audited by Consensys. I think Uniswap will have a bright future.

[Kitaiev]

The Uniswap community has voted to deploy Uniswap v3 on Polygon through the governance process.
Uniswap Labs will deploy Uniswap v3 contracts within a few days.

I think at this rate we will soon see Uniswap v3 on other EVM blockchains.

I actively use Uniswap because there are still many Ethereum assets that can only be exchanged on Uniswap, unfortunately the very expensive swap fee makes me only swap with the asset value at least 2x the total transaction fee, I think the Uniswap feature should be added to make it more attractive like Pancake, Chronos or other.

Use L2 solutions, there are very small commissions, even cheaper than centralized exchanges.

Polygon works great in uniswap, today I paid less than 10 cents for an exchange.

[saftdo20]

Super happy with polygon being added to Uniswap, one of the main gripes with Eth trading is the insane gas fees.
Polygin is solid, but an L1 chain I use heavily is Avalanche. A few dexes have launched on it also like Traderjoe, same as Matic nearly non exist gas fees, and super fast/high throughput! Deffo worth a check! Oh and if you own more than 20 AVAX you can also validate/delegate to keep the network up and earn rewards!

dex swaps with liquidity were very popular from 2020, but this year they seem to have disappeared somewhere. maybe some exchanges like the very famous pancakeswap in my opinion are still used but also very rarely. I think this happens because the expensive gas plus the rules in dexswap itself costs more for burning.

"Uniswap Labs has raised $165 million in a new funding round as the parent firm of the world’s largest decentralized exchange looks to broaden its offerings.
The Series B funding was led by Polychain Capital, the startup said. The news confirms a TechCrunch scoop from late last month that said that Uniswap Labs was looking to raise between $100 million to $200 million and was engaging with Polychain."

First and foremost, we do not collect and store personal data, such as first name, last name, street address, date of birth, email address, or IP address.

We are committed to making iterative improvements to our privacy and security practices. For example, we recently released a reverse proxy server that sits between user devices and any third-party tool. This prevents third-party tools from reading user data, adding an additional layer of protection.

We will continue to apply these policies to existing and future Uniswap Labs products.

I think, Uniswap is the first DEX on Ethereum. This DEX make it easy for new and experienced users alike to trade ERC20 tokens. Uniswap is cool and easy to use, but it's not a decentralized exchange.

It simplifies the whole process of trading by removing the need to deposit funds onto an exchange and then waiting for a confirmation before placing an order.
