## 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?

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.

## Who Is the Founder of Uniswap V3

Uniswap was founded by Hayden Adams, a graduate of Stony Brook University and a former mechanical engineer at Siemens. Inspired by a blog and Reddit post by Vitalik Buterin, Adams received a grant from the Ethereum Foundation and launched the protocol in November 2018. Uniswap Labs raised a seed round from Paradigm and, in August 2020, received $11 million in its Series A round led by ​​Andreessen Horowitz.

Uniswap V3 launched in May of 2021, almost 2.5 years after the first version was released, and a year after Uniswap V2 was launched.
