"Chain abstraction is still nascent. So ultimately, we are making user onboarding hard. Switching between multiple networks on the wallets, learning new mechanisms, new things etc make the new user experience hard."

This is the problem we want to face head on, so DeFi can continue growing

The seamless, open, interoperable nature of DeFi when it was on one chain is something that MUST be preserved in the multichain future

There are many teams working towards this goal, but sometimes I think on a narrow sliver of the tech stack

This is why I am so excited that we're building a team with full-stack technical expertise across:

- frontend (wallet, web, browser extension)
- APIs (route discovery, data)
- intents (uniswapX, crosschain uniswapX/eip7683)
- smart contracts (AMM, routing)
- chain development (unichain, sequencing, eip1153)

We believe our breadth of expertise combined with a large userbase gives us a unique perspective that we can bring to the table, and collaborate with the broader industry to build out the right standards and abstraction layers

🚀 accelerate DeFi 🚀

Huge win, long live DeFi 🦄

One longtime fear of mine has been bad legal interpretation of our complex, technical industry

It’s highly motivating to see US courts hold up arguments I’ve felt deeply for years

Below are some of the most BASED (smart) court comments

2/

"... it defies logic that a drafter of computer code underlying a particular software platform could be liable under Section 29(b) for a third-party’s misuse of that platform. As discussed, smart contracts are self-executing, self-enforcing code..." Image

"they [Plaintiffs] now sue the [Defendents], hoping that this Court might overlook the fact that the current state of cryptocurrency regulation leaves them without recourse" Image

🦄 So incredibly excited to be launching this limited early release of the Uniswap mobile wallet

Get an access code @EthereumDenver or on various social channels

TLDR: self-custody but beautiful, fast, easy to use, and open source

Details here:

🌸 @Uniswap’s initial success was in making DeFi feel simple, safe, and easy to use

But crypto UX still has a long way to go

With our mobile wallet, we plan to tackle this enormous challenge head on, help push the industry forward, and bring crypto to the world 🦾

Ric was one of many early supporters, who I met ~8 months into building Uniswap

I’m sad and disappointed by his recent comments that range from very misleading to outright lies
2/

I’ve been hesitant to engage, as he is currently suing me (most of his case was already thrown out)

But I want to share some details to help set the record straight
3/

Ric was given an opportunity to invest. I sent him a SAFE with the amount blank so he could fill in what he wanted to invest.

He chose not to, citing that his company Balance only had 1 month of runway.

🚀 Incredibly excited to launch the @Uniswap NFT aggregator

🔥 Starting today you can now buy NFTs from 8 different marketplaces, directly on app.uniswap.org,

🦾 This means we have more listings and better prices than any single marketplace Image
2/

Uniswap is the most used DEX now we aim to be the marketplace for all digital value including tokens and NFTs!

We're excited to bring the technical rigor, user focus, and decentralized values we are know for to the world of NFTs Image
3/

What does this mean?

💞 Our NFT interface is fully open source - a first among NFT aggregators

🌐 Our Universal Router aggregates tokens and NFTs, and is the most gas efficient NFT aggregator

💅 Our UI is sleek, simple and powerful

1/ Sooo excited about this proposal for a Uniswap Foundation 🦄🦄🦄

TLDR: It’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 — a massive success for Uniswap governance that has given out 122 grants to date.

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/ame…
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.
