Consensus: Ethereum L1 / Multi-Chain Smart Contracts
Uniswap is the cornerstone decentralized automated market maker (AMM) protocol in cryptocurrency, founded by Hayden Adams. Uniswap revolutionized decentralized liquidity by replacing orderbooks with the Constant Product Formula (x*y=k) and concentrated liquidity (v3). With Uniswap v4 and the announcement of Unichain, Uniswap is redefining decentralized exchange architecture through programmable custom "Hooks" and dedicated rollup blockspace.
