On September 21, decentralized exchange (DEX) Uniswap launched an educational platform in partnership with blockchain education-focused Do Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO).
According to the announcement, Uniswap University aims to create a structured learning path to introduce users to the V3 exchange through courses, simulation and short tutorials. Through the platform, users can gain knowledge on topics ranging from “What is a DEX?” to advanced topics such as ‘Strategy Backtesting Tools’. Meanwhile, simulations such as adding/removing liquidity and exploring advanced position management tools allow users to quickly gain practical experience.
In an advanced course, Uniswap teaches users the basics of becoming a liquidity provider on V3. Developers wrote:
“In this chapter we will explore several potential strategies that you can consider as a liquidity provider. These include holding (HODL) stablecoins, holding 50% of two different tokens, owning 100% of one token, allowing for a broad range of liquidity is offered. , which offers narrow-scope liquidity and provides liquidity in volatile token pools. Each strategy has its own set of pros and cons.”
Earlier this year, Uniswap’s Business Source license expired, allowing developers to adopt the Uniswap V3 protocol and deploy their own DEXs. Shortly after its launch in May 2021, Uniswap V3 surpassed Bitcoin (BTC) in fee generation. More than $451 million worth of coins and tokens were traded on Uniswap V3’s Ethereum (ETH) mainnet alone.
The V3 protocol has a combined total value of $3.2 billion (TVL), consisting of liquidity pools, staking, and DeFi lending. According to DeFiLlama, the sum of the Uniswap V1, V2, and V3 protocols generates $327 million in protocol revenue per year. The DEX reached a peak TVL of $10 billion at the height of the 2021 bull market.
Navigating the complexities of concentrated liquidity in Uniswap v3 can be tricky. With specialized jargon and complex financial strategies, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
As such, Uniswap University is designed to provide a structured learning path for all participants.
