About

The Uniswap Foundation is the first Foundation of a major protocol to go through the community governance process, its mandate is to support the Uniswap protocol’s decentralized growth, reinvigorate governance, and serve as a Protocol advocate. Uniswap is the most renowned decentralized exchange (DEX) in the world, built on the Ethereum network. The revolutionary platform has transformed the way digital assets are traded, allowing users to swap tokens without the need for intermediaries or centralized exchanges. Uniswap's innovative approach to liquidity provision, driven by its Automated Market Maker (AMM) system, has disrupted the traditional financial landscape and set the standard for other decentralized finance (DeFi) projects. The launch of Uniswap V3 brought forth even more groundbreaking features, including concentrated liquidity, customizable fee tiers, and optimized capital efficiency. These improvements keep pushing Uniswap's position as the leading DEX and a cornerstone of the rapidly evolving DeFi ecosystem. With its massive user base, exceptional trading volume, and cutting-edge technology, Uniswap continues to inspire new ideas and drive the future of decentralized finance. With the much-anticipated launch of Uniswap V4 and the groundbreaking introduction of hooks, the DeFi landscape has been completely reimagined. Developers now have an unprecedented toolkit to build transformative applications. To celebrate this milestone, we are thrilled to announce a specialized our Hookathon during ETH Global! This hookathon is dedicated to discovering and rewarding the most inventive and impactful hook designs. Get all the technical insights you need by diving into our comprehensive V4 Documentation at Uniswap Foundation Docs.
