The third iteration of the decentralized trade Uniswap (v3) has a mainnet deployment date of May 5. The official announcement confirmed a extremely anticipated characteristic, help for the second layer resolution Optimism Rollups.
This characteristic shall be enabled at a later date. The official announcement focuses on one other “groundbreaking new feature” that the Uniswap Labs crew has dubbed Concentrated Liquidity Positions. This will enable customers to:
Rather than being required to allocate capital throughout the complete worth spectrum from zero to infinity, every LP is given full management over what worth ranges they want to present liquidity to.
Another new characteristic is a number of price tiers that may enable liquidity suppliers (LPs) to obtain rewards relative to the quantity of threat they take. The third iteration of the decentralized trade will enable LPs to benefit from “greater flexibility”.
This can have a number of direct implications for liquidity suppliers: they may be capable to take part with as much as 4,000 instances extra capital effectivity than in Uniswap v2 and earn charges by restrict order, in line with the official announcement. Therefore, they may obtain larger returns, Uniswap Labs’ crew mentioned:
Capital effectivity paves the means for low-slippage commerce execution that may surpass each centralized exchanges and stablecoin-focused AMMs.

Uniswap v3 introduces license to stop forks
Researcher for cryptocurrency funding agency Paradigm, Dan Robinson, claimed that Uniswap v3 has the “best DEX (decentralized exchange) design on the planet”. Robinson believes the newly announced options put Uniswap above the competitors.
He added that in the future different automated market makers may very well be constructed on prime of Uniswap v3:
By combining a number of positions, LPs can approximate arbitrary curves. Any static curve may be applied on Uniswap v3 and effectively aggregated with the remainder of its liquidity.
This contains customized formulation like the ones utilized by Balancer and Curve, in addition to ones that don’t have elegant formulation. This signifies that most present DEXes may very well be constructed on prime of Uniswap, however it additionally vastly expands the design house to beforehand unimaginable AMMs.
The first iteration of Uniswap was launched in 2018, the second in May 2020. Since then, buying and selling quantity on the automated market maker has surpassed that of enormous crypto exchanges. As someway of a trade-off, different initiatives have forked the DEX.
To stop comparable actions, the new iteration shall be launched with a Business Source License 1.1. In concept, this could stop different initiatives from forking Uniswap’s v3 codebase. The license will final for 2 years, then a GPL 2.zero license shall be adopted completely.
However, the neighborhood can vote to hurry up this course of or give “exceptions”, Uniswap Labs acknowledged:
We strongly consider decentralized monetary infrastructure ought to finally be free, open-source software program. At the identical time, we predict the Uniswap neighborhood needs to be the first to construct an ecosystem round the Uniswap v3 Core codebase.
