In March, Uniswap did over $35b in volume, accounting for over 50% of total DEX monthly volume.
TVL reached an ATH over $4.7b, comprising almost 10% of the ~$48b locked on all DeFi-related platforms.
Uniswap V3 (slatted for May 5) will further improve DEX functionality in a variety of ways.

+ Concentrated liquidity: the ability for liquidity providers to make markets within customized price ranges, creating individual price curves.
Updates for Oracles:

+ Making it possible to calculate TWAP with a single on-chain call, and making it easier and cheaper to create more advanced oracles.
Updated fee tiers:

+ Instead of the original 0.30% flat fee, there are now three tiers of fees for each pool - 0.05%, 0.30% and 1%.
Uniswap V3 is a significant improvement to AMMs and will likely have far-reaching implications. Read more in @rahul_rai121's recent report messari.io/article/uniswa…

Our @Bancor profile is updated with the latest on the platform and its native $BNT token

Bancor is a unique decentralized exchange (DEX) that uses $BNT as the common price token to fulfill pair trades among users and liquidity pools for hundreds of Ethereum + EOS tokens. Image
Consensus & Emission:

$BNT supply is elastic with Bancor V2.1. The protocol matches liquidity pool token deposits with minted $BNT and burns $BNT when tokens are withdrawn. Users’ $BNT deposits replace minted $BNT to control inflation. Image
$BNT launched on 6/12/17 in the largest ICO at the time - $153M

The initial 79.3M $BNT supply was allocated to:

50% - ICO Participants
20% - Project team, contributors, investors
20% - Bancor budget
10% - community development Image

RAI is a governance minimized non pegged stablecoin.

It is an attempt to create a more trust-minimized version Dai not pegged to the dollar.

It is solely backed by ETH and stabilized autonomously using a PID controller.

1/
At a high level RAI is similar to Single Collateral DAI (SCD).

It is an overcollateralized debt position for users that demand ETH leverage.
Users can open this position by depositing ETH into a SAFE (similar to Maker’s vaults) and minting RAI against it.

Users can redeem their collateral by paying back their RAI plus a borrow fee.

RAI’s token FLX is used to govern and backstop the system.

Float Protocol is a two token, partially collateralized non pegged stablecoin protocol.

FLOAT draws its value from its underlying basket of collateral (ETH), and is stabilized through auctions.

BANK backstops FLOAT, earns protocol profits, and governs the Float protocol.

1/
At the core of Float’s stability model is protocol controlled value (PCV) and dutch auctions.

Float protocol maintains a fund to stabilize the price of FLOAT called the “Basket” which holds a portfolio of cryptoassets - initially just ETH.
The Basket is owned by the protocol and is built up through FLOAT auctions.

FLOAT’s Target Price will start at an arbitrary number - initially $1.618 and will slowly adjust over time depending on the value of the basket relative to the value of the outstanding FLOAT.

Olympus DAO is an attempt to create a stable currency (OHM) through managing a treasury of assets.

Initially this treasury will consist solely of DAI and OHM-DAI Sushi LP shares.

Over time Olympus DAO will add new collateral types and ultimately stabilize versus a basket.

1/
At a high level Olympus DAO features a single token, OHM, which is both the system’s stable asset and its governance token.

OHM can be staked in return for sOHM which allows OHM holders to accrue protocol profits as well as participate in Olympus DAO governance.
The core building blocks of Olympus DAO are protocol controlled value (PCV), market operations, and bonding.
