## What Is Curve Finance?

Curve Finance is a [decentralized](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized) [liquidity pool](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity-pool) for [stablecoin](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/stablecoin) trading. Instead of an [order book](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/order-book), it uses an [AMM](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/automated-market-maker-amm) (automated market maker) model to match [liquidity](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity). As a decentralized and permissionless protocol, anyone can [provide](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity-provider-tokens-lp-tokens) liquidity to one or more of the [liquidity pools](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity-pool). The constant product formula of the AMM ensures maximum efficiency while incurring a minimum of [slippage](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/slippage) for traders. 

The Curve pools are [smart contracts](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/smart-contract) implementing the StableSwap invariant and enabling the exchange of two or more tokens. Token [swaps](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/token-swap) can be performed between paired stablecoins (Plain Pools) or between [wrapped](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-wrapped-ethereum-weth) tokens, with the underlying collateral lent out on another protocol (Lending Pools). Finally, Metapools pair stablecoins against LP-tokens from another pool.

The protocol is available multi-chain — on [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/), [Arbitrum](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-arbitrum-the-ultimate-guide-to-the-arbitrum-ecosystem), [Aurora](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/aurora-near/), [Avalanche](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/avalanche/), [Fantom](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/fantom/), [Harmony](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/harmony/), [Optimism](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-optimism-the-ultimate-guide-to-the-optimism-ecosystem), [Polygon](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/polygon/), [xDai](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/xdai/) and [Moonbeam](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/moonbeam/). Users typically have to [bridge](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/bridges) funds from Ethereum to these chains to use the Curve protocol. Due to its systemic importance for [decentralized finance](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/defi) (DeFi), the protocol has attracted several other protocols fighting over its [governance](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/governance) in the so-called [Curve Wars](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/curve-wars-and-the-emergency-dao). 


## Who Is the Curve Finance Founder?

## What Is Uniswap (V2)?

Uniswap is a [decentralized exchange](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-exchange-dex) (DEX) which first introduced the [automated market maker](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/automated-market-maker-amm) (AMM) model. Unlike with an [order book](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/order-book), traders are provided with constant liquidity thanks to the “constant product” formula. The V2 version was first based on [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/), before branching out to other blockchains that support [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) tokens.

While the V1 version of Uniswap only supported [swapping](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/token-swap) ETH-ERC-20 token pairs, the V2 version did away with this bridging problem and introduced flash swaps. These allowed users to swap between different ERC-20 tokens without incurring too much [slippage](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/slippage). It also introduced protocol fees, which contributed to the platform's ongoing development. Furthermore, the V2 version began using [wrapped Ether](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-wrapped-ethereum-weth) over native Ether for its core contracts. 

The exchange’s popularity gave birth to a V3 version with concentrated liquidity and more flexible fees, which improved the user experience for traders and liquidity providers alike. 


## Who Is the Founder of Uniswap (V2)?

Hayden Adams, a former mechanical engineer at Siemens and Stony Brook University graduate, founded the platform in November 2018. The company behind the DEX raised a seed round from Paradigm and $11 million in a Series A round led by ​​Andreessen Horowitz.


## When Did Uniswap (V2) Launch?

## What Is SushiSwap?

SushiSwap is a decentralized exchange ([DEX](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-exchange-dex)) that uses an [AMM](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/automated-market-maker-amm). This automated market maker utilizes [smart contracts](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/smart-contract) to create markets for trading pairs of different tokens. [Liquidity providers ](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity-provider-tokens-lp-tokens)supply these smart contracts with capital and enable frictionless trading. The exchange was one of the earliest to adopt this model and was initially a [fork](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/fork-software) of UniSwap, another popular DEX. It later grew into one of the biggest exchanges in all of [DeFi](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/defi) and is now available on almost all [EVM](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/ethereum-virtual-machine-evm)-compatible [layer-one blockchains](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/layer-1-blockchain) and several [layer-two](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/layer-2) solutions for [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/). 

The exchange targets mostly DeFi traders and institutions that want to enjoy [permissionless](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/permissionless) and [non-custodial](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/non-custodial) trading. It does away with liquidity issues and has a more egalitarian [governance](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/governance) approach than other exchanges. Its native token can be used for voting on governance proposals.

## What Is Honeyswap?

Honeyswap is a replicated deployment of [UniSwap (V2)](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/uniswap-v2/) on the [xDai](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/xdaistable/) chain. xDai is an [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/) [side chain](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/side-chain) with the same properties as Ethereum but a [proof-of-stake](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/proof-of-stake-pos) [consensus mechanism](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/consensus-mechanism). That allows validators to verify blocks every five seconds, minimizing transaction fees in the process. UniSwap is the most popular [decentralized exchange](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-exchange-dex) (DEX) on Ethereum, and pioneered the [automated market maker](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/automated-market-maker-amm) (AMM) model .

The exchange is governed by the 1hive community, using the [HNY](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/honey-hive-investments/) token. It functions as an automated liquidity protocol with a constant product formula. As is the case for UniSwap, anyone can become a [liquidity provider](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity-provider-tokens-lp-tokens) by depositing tokens in the [liquidity pool](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity-pool) and receiving LP tokens in return. Traders can [swap](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/token-swap) tokens and developers can build integrations with the [smart contracts](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/smart-contract), using them as so-called “money legos.” 

The community is divided into different “swarms,” which build around different project initiatives. The [DEX](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-exchange-dex) itself enables [flash loans](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/flash-loan), [oracles](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/oracles) and token swaps. To use the exchange, users have to [bridge](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/bridges) their ERC-20 tokens from Ethereum to xDai. 


## Who Are the Honeyswap Founders?

Honeyswap is governed by a [DAO](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-autonomous-organizations-dao) in a decentralized and censorship-resistant manner. The [Honey token](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/honey-hive-investments/) is used to vote on [governance](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/governance) proposals. The 1Hive protocol, which is the foundation of the decentralized exchange, is based on software built by Aragon. Aragon provides open-source infrastructure to DAOs and was founded by the Aragon Association, a Switzerland-based non-profit entity.

## What Is OpenOcean?

[OpenOcean](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/openocean/) is a [decentralized exchange](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-exchange-dex) (DEX) aggregator. It sources liquidity from different [DeFi](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/defi) markets and facilitates [cross-chain](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/cross-chain) swaps. Thanks to its routing algorithm, the aggregator finds the most attractive prices from various exchanges and provides traders with low [slippage](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/slippage) and fast [settlement](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/settlement). Since the aggregator is free of charge, users only pay the gas and exchange fees on the respective blockchains, though nothing to OpenOcean itself.

The protocol collects data from major decentralized and [centralized exchanges](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/centralized-exchange-cex). It also sources liquidity from [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/) and [layer-two](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/layer-2) solutions like [Arbitrum](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-arbitrum-the-ultimate-guide-to-the-arbitrum-ecosystem) and [Optimism](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-optimism-the-ultimate-guide-to-the-optimism-ecosystem), as well as other blockchains like [BNB Chain](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/binance-coin/), [Polygon](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/polygon/), [Avalanche](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/avalanche/), [Solana](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/solana/), and others.

## What Is Uniswap?

Uniswap is one of the most popular cryptocurrency [decentralized exchanges](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-exchange-dex) (DEXs), launching in November 2018. It pioneered the [automated market maker](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/automated-market-maker-amm) (AMM) model, instead of the traditional order book-based used by exchanges. Uniswap runs on the Ethereum blockchain and uses a number of [smart contracts](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/smart-contract) to securely swap [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) tokens between users.

The decentralized aspect of the protocol means that there is no single centralized authority that manages and runs the exchange — instead, swaps are done in a [peer-to-peer](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/peer-to-peer-p2p) (P2P) manner. Moreover, Uniswap strives to solve the [liquidity](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity) problem inherent in other exchanges. Uniswap V3 is the 3rd edition of the protocol fitted with updates to improve compensation and provide greater control and flexibility for individual LPs. Uniswap V3 supports over 46.5% of the total DEX trading volume and the protocol reached a cumulative lifetime trading volume of $1 trillion in May 2022.

## What Is Uniswap (V3) (Optimism)?

Uniswap is the largest decentralized trading and automated market-making protocol on Ethereum. Uniswap (V3) (Optimism) is the third iteration of the decentralized cryptocurrency exchange ([DEX](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-exchange-dex)). The platform introduced the concept of [concentrated liquidity](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/concentrated-liquidity), which improves the liquidity providing efficiency and makes it easier for some assets to gain exposure. 

Liquidity providers (LPs) can also choose where and how they allocate their funds. Notably, LPs can supposedly earn higher rewards on their capital by providing liquidity with up to 4000x capital efficiency relative to Uniswap v2.

Although Uniswap V3 is an update to previous versions, users can still trade on [Uniswap V2](https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/uniswap-v2/).

## What Is Uniswap (V3) (Arbitrum)?

[Uniswap](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/uniswap/) is a [decentralized exchange](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-exchange-dex) (DEX) that pioneered the [automated market maker](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/automated-market-maker-amm) (AMM) model. The introduction of the AMM allowed users to trade against a [liquidity pool](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity-pool) offering a constant source of liquidity with its product formula. The V3 version of the exchange presents services to [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/) [layer-two](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/layer-2) solutions. 

The AMM model premiered in the V1 version of the exchange, with the V2 version allowing trading between different [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) token pairs instead of [swaps](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/token-swap) between [ETH](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/) and ERC-20 tokens. The consequence was reduced [slippage](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/slippage), benefiting the evolution of the exchange. Furthermore, it introduced protocol fees to continue development. In the V2 version, [wrapped Ether](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-wrapped-ethereum-weth) instead of native Ether was available for the first time as liquidity for token pairs.

Improvements in the V3 version include unique price curves for [liquidity providers](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity-provider-tokens-lp-tokens), allowing them to centralize their capital at desired prices to improve capital efficiency. Another feature implies the automatic capital removal if prices change significantly and exceed the LP’s price range. The V3 is the first version available on [Arbitrum](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-arbitrum-the-ultimate-guide-to-the-arbitrum-ecosystem), a scaling solution for Ethereum that opens up a more affordable trading experience thanks to its significantly lower trading fees.  


## Who Is the Founder of Uniswap (V3) (Arbitrum)?

Hayden Adams, a former mechanical engineer at Siemens and Stony Brook University graduate, founded the decentralized exchange in November 2018.

## What Is Uniswap (V3) Polygon?

Uniswap is a [decentralized exchange](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-exchange-dex) (DEX) that introduced the [automated market maker](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/automated-market-maker-amm) (AMM) model for the first time in the market. With this innovation, traders tap into a constant pool of liquidity and trade against an algorithm using a constant product formula. With its V3 version, the exchange branched out to blockchains other than [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/) for the first time. 

After the introduction of the AMM model in V1, the V2 version allowed trading between different [ERC-20](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/erc-20) token pairs instead of [swaps](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/token-swap) between [ETH](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/) and ERC-20 tokens. This reduced [slippage](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/slippage) and introduced protocol fees to continue the exchange’s development. The V2 version also introduced [wrapped Ether](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-wrapped-ethereum-weth) instead of native Ether as liquidity for token pairs.

In the V3 version, [liquidity providers ](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/liquidity-provider-tokens-lp-tokens)can build unique price curves and centralize their capital at desired prices to improve capital efficiency. It also activated automatic removal of capital if prices change significantly and exceed the LP’s price range. With the introduction of V3, Uniswap also launched on Polygon for the first time. Thanks to its lower gas fees, users can now access a much more affordable trading experience
