1/ Sooo excited about this proposal for a Uniswap Foundation ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„

TLDR: Itโ€™s a new entity (fully independent from Labs) that would help grow the Protocol and facilitate community contribution and governance, led by outstanding community members.
2/ The Foundation would be set up as a steward of the Protocol, working to strengthen and improve it over time. And what excites me most about it are the people driving it, @nkennethk and @devinawalsh.
3/ Ken was a huge help when I launched Uniswap v1 in 2018, working with me in his role as grants lead at the @Ethereum Foundation.

He was also behind the proposal to create @uniswapgrants โ€” a massive success for Uniswap governance that has given out 122 grants to date.
4/ Devin was Chief of Staff at Labs until she recently resigned to pursue building the Foundation with Ken. Sheโ€™s been in crypto since 2016, working on decentralized identity @Consensys.

Sheโ€™s smart, a pleasure to work with, and passionate about decentralized protocols/DeFi.
5/ The strength of an ecosystem grows with each additional team building and working towards its success.

Imo, after this passes, the Foundation will be yet another team working towards a future where the Protocol does not just survive โ€” it thrives!
6/ Community members should get involved in the discussion here:

There is room for improvement today but I expect Web3 scam prevention to be far better than what came before

Scam prevention has been a total failure in many established industries

59m Americans lost ~$29.8 billion in phone scams last year

cnbc.com/2021/06/29/ameโ€ฆ
2/

This is clearly a massive failure of the telecom industry and its regulators

And most "crypto" scams today are really social media scams taking place in Twitter, Discord, email, telegram, etc

Why are scams so prevalent in web2/telecom? How can we do better?
3/

Social/telecom scams are so pervasive and harmful because they're built on closed, tightly-controlled systems that remove any user agency

Verizon (and others) couldn't care less about their users losing $30b/year. Their users are locked in, with no agency either way.

๐Ÿš€ Thrilled to launch @Uniswap Labs Ventures, which will be investing in innovative projects and companies building in Web3
2/

๐Ÿ”ฅ As a crypto-native team, we can't wait to support other projects in the space as they launch and grow

One unique aspect of ULV that I am especially excited about is our plans to participate in the governance systems of projects we invest in
3/

๐Ÿซ‚ We have already invested in 11 companies and several native protocols - with plans to participate in @AaveAave @compoundfinance @ensdomains and @MakerDAO governance systems

Web2 data economy companies pretend they need to own all your data to provide their services for free and because they have smart algorithms that show you relevant, interesting content.
2/

But the companies immediately resell both your data and the algorithm results on the open market for a profit, and fill your feed with irrelevant shit tier content (like the twitter sidebar).

It's just arbitrage and you're being swindled.
3/

Web3 is an economy of value and ownership.

Companies in the space have an opportunity to do better, by competing to build the most useful, user-aligned products.

๐Ÿš€ 2021 has been a transformative year for crypto adoption.

๐ŸŽ† Total market cap crossed $3T, scaling solutions came online, NFTs drove art and music, DAOs empowered collective action, gaming tokens took off, and more!
2/

๐Ÿ—๏ธ This growth was made possible in 2021 because critical infrastructure provided by DeFi enabled more people to participate and innovate.

๐Ÿ’  Over the past 12 months, hundreds of new communities and products have formed because they had fair access to liquidity and users.
3/

๐Ÿ‘‘ Web3 projects like ENS gave ownership
๐ŸŒ 1000s of DAOs formed to create impact
๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿคโ€๐Ÿง‘ Social tokens like FWB exploded
๐ŸŽฎ Crypto gaming combined income & fun!
๐Ÿถ Meme coins gave us more memes

Each democratized access to markets and ownership, and each was powered by DeFi

Just a reminder:

Uniswap Protocol = fully decentralized permissionless smart contracts on Ethereum

Uniswap Interface = open source GPL code base

app.uniswap.org = Uniswap Labs owned domain that points to an IPFS hosted instance of the Uniswap Interface
2/

Now is a good time to learn the difference between an interface and a protocol and how decentralization works

Decentralization doesnโ€™t mean Uniswap Labs lets you do whatever you want on its website.

It means you donโ€™t need a single interface instance to access the protocol.
3/

In fact majority of volume doesnโ€™t come through app.uniswap.org today.

This is due to a proliferation of on-chain integrations and alternative interfaces including:

Trading bots
Wallets
Interface forks (due to OSS interface)
Other interfaces
DEX Aggregators

๐Ÿฆ„ Proud owner of @Uniswap v3 NFT #1

Mini thread on v3 NFT positions which are SVGs generated entirely on-chain and derived from the properties of the underlying position
2/

The color scheme is based on the two underlying tokens, but the color distribution is unique per token id so each is unique but they are themed per pool

The curve shape i based on liquidity concentration as well as the ratio at which the tokens were initially deposited
3/

The minimap in the bottom right shows where the center of your position is relative to the entire 0 to infinity curve

The sparkle above it is rare and has a small chance of being generated that is reduced as token ID increases (~10% at ID 100, ~3% at ID 100k)
