Be sure to read @alanwu's piece on the @supercycleblog:
"An individual market can answer whether the Strait’s traffic goes back to normal this year. An index can tell you whether the Middle East is getting more stable.
Prediction markets price the events everyone’s watching.
Indices will answer the questions everyone’s asking."
We couldn't agree more.

How does a UniswapX order actually get filled?
Alan Wu @alanwu, Protocol Engineer at @Uniswap, returns to ETHTaipei this September.
Alan works on UniswapX, with a focus on auction design and trade execution. After speaking at ETHTaipei 2025, he’s back to go deeper into the mechanics behind intent-based trading.
In “Life of a Fill: How Market Makers Work on UniswapX,” Alan will follow an order from discovery and pricing through competing quotes and atomic settlement, unpacking why some orders fill instantly while others linger, and what it actually takes to run a filler.

In less than 4 seconds, 44 unique makers on Polymarket lost $19k to 6 takers.
First trade: 1.44 seconds after LeBron's tweet
Crossed 50¢: 2.26 seconds
Reached 99¢: 3.98 seconds
First-come, first-served markets create zero-sum latency races that degrade long-term liquidity. This market structure is inherently taker-favored: makers must remove stale quotes before anyone else in the world can take them. Because they can be picked off during every major repricing event, they are forced to quote wider and provide less depth.
Exchanges want volume and to lead price discovery. But knowing LeBron chose Philadelphia four seconds earlier provides zero value to most users and imposes negative externalities on the traders creating the prices that observers consume.
Different market structures (batch auctions, maker-prioritized cancels) trade off marginally slower re-pricing during rare news events with deeper liquidity throughout the rest of the market.
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!!
