— Hayden Adams, creator of Uniswap

Before Uniswap, the world of cryptocurrencies operated based on centralized order books. To buy or sell, a buyer and a seller had to agree on a price, which often resulted in slow trades and low liquidity. 📉 It was a system that favored large players and made it nearly impossible for new projects to grow.

But Hayden Adams, a software engineer, had a radical idea: what if exchanges didn't need an intermediary? What if the market could create itself, with the participation of anyone who wanted to contribute? 💡 His vision was to make a quantum leap and create a new form of exchange, simple, open, and accessible.

Thus, Uniswap was born, the pioneer of Automated Market Makers (AMM). Instead of an order book, the system uses "liquidity pools" - large funds of cryptocurrencies to which anyone can contribute. Users trade assets directly with that pool, making transactions instant, fluid, and without the need for a specific counterparty. 💧

What is its open-source legacy?

Exchanges without intermediaries: Uniswap eliminated the need for a central actor to conduct operations, returning power and control to users. 🤝

Democratization of liquidity: Anyone, from a small investor to a large fund, can contribute to liquidity pools and earn a share of the fees for each transaction. 💸

Pillar of DeFi: Its open model and accessible code created a domino effect that drove massive growth in decentralized finance (DeFi), allowing thousands of projects to find liquidity.
The story of Uniswap is one of a simple idea that completely changed a sector. Its quiet victory has been to demonstrate that the financial markets of the future will not be controlled by corporations, but by open codes and communities of users.
