DEX and AMM have already ensured free listing, exchange, and liquidity for any asset If a project is willing to pay high listing fees it’s for marketing, not market structure Proud of the role we played in making this a reality

TLDR: Swap tokens on Uniswap Your spot position can’t be liquidated
Doug's is an important thread to read today. The central lesson that crypto traders of every generation have to relearn is that derivatives are abstractions of the real thing. They are supposed to simulate spot trading in a way that doesn't require the underlying and allows for

Large sell offs are good reminders of how DeFi is simply built different Uniswap did close to $9b in trading volume today - well above the norm - with no stress or downtime
Today, @aave experienced the largest stress test of its $75B+ lending infrastructure. The protocol operated flawlessly, automatically liquidating a record $180M worth of collateral in just one hour, without any human intervention. Once again, Aave has proven its resilience.

1/ Senate Democrats are trying to kill market structure. A group just sent a counter-proposal to the RFIA and it is deeply unserious. These Senators claim to be pro-crypto, but what they propose is basically a crypto ban. It's hard to imagine a good deal happening right now 🧵
🚨SCOOP: A dust-up between Senate Democrats and Republicans over a leaked DeFi regulation proposal from Democrats is unfolding behind the scenes, stalling bipartisan market structure talks and potentially pushing a markup date even further out. More to come in tomorrow’s

Batched life updates: 1. About two years ago, I founded a company known in small circles as Guidestar. 2. Since then, we've been building AMM and routing tech in stealth. 3. Guidestar has now been acquired by Uniswap Labs. What's next? 1/4

Asked a professor at a dinner about roko’s basilisk once He pointed out an AI may be equally/more likely to kill its creators as the people that don’t create it - it’s creators are more likely to create a successor, control it, etc So just work towards your ideal outcome

Pumped to announce I’ve joined @uniswap as the growth lead for @Unichain. After investing at @variantfund, I wanted to join a high-growth, all star defi team. As one of my favorite portco’s, few companies excited me as much as Uniswap Labs.
