All good things. No argument there.
But here’s what I keep coming back to.
Who’s funding the builders?
If most of the trading economics just get recycled back into liquidity, the market gets stronger over time. Fine. But where does the PROJECT get its runway from?
Early-stage teams aren’t just optimizing execution. They’re paying developers. Funding audits. Building products. Growing communities. Landing partnerships. Shipping updates every single month.
That takes money.
No sustainable revenue? Most projects eventually stop building. Doesn’t matter how efficient the market is by then.
So for me it’s not traders vs builders.
The best systems give traders a level playing field AND give builders enough recurring revenue to keep creating value.
Healthy builders build healthy ecosystems.
Healthy ecosystems build healthy markets.
Those two things should never be competing.
Incredibly excited for the launch of @TradePools!!
This rollout has been absolutely insane. Degens discovered earlier versions of the smart contracts and traded over $150m in trading volume before the UI even went live
This created a unique challenge where we had to update our site and indexing to support both the earlier test versions and the final versions of the contracts at the same time, which added some additional time to the launch
People have used uniswap as both a launchpad and launchpad infra for over 8 years. We're excited to be building alongside all the other launchpads to move the space forward
What most sets https://t.co/wEWmXIGbvx apart?
- no added launchpad fee, just the normal protocol fee that comes with all v4 pools. This makes the launch pool way better for traders, with total spreads far lower than most launchpads
- autocompounding liquidity (excited to bring this feature to normal Uniswap LPing as well)
- permanently locked liquidity for all launches
- two launch methods: instant launch works similar to other launchpads, and crowd launch simplifies what we built with CCA to create a fairer, more bundle resistant launch method
- deep integrations and distribution: Pools has day one support across uniswap web app, wallet, trading api, all third party trading api integrations, bitget, fomo, gmgn, okx wallet, etc, with more coming online rapidly
Have seen various takes claiming incorrect fee splits - to be clear the 0.25% LP fees autocompounds to the locked liquidity pool, it does not go to the uniswap team. This becomes 20% to the creator and 80% to the liquidity compounding mechanism
Uniswap Labs team has been cooking hard on this one but its still in beta. We intend to ship a constant stream of upgrades and improvements from here. So please share any feedback!!
@haydenzadams@Uniswap@TradePools So you are technically saying creators only get 20%
That’s not different from the speculations flying around..
Not sure what the idea is behind the 80% of fees goes back to pool…
This is not reason enough to prefer the launchpad
