- Uniswap University finally unveiled in collaboration with blockchain education-focused DoDAO.
- Participants would get access to learning materials from basic to advanced topics.
Uniswap, a decentralized protocol designed for token swap or trade, has announced the launch of an education platform dubbed Uniswap University. This was done in collaboration with blockchain education-focused DoDAO.
We’re thrilled to unveil Uniswap University, a comprehensive educational platform tailored for everyone, from beginners to seasoned Uniswap v3 liquidity providers.
According to the Uniswap Foundation, the plan is to provide a structured learning pathway for all participants and provide liquidity accessible and comprehensible for all. Education would be facilitated through courses, simulations, and quick guides. The announcement explains that these lessons have been designed to meet the needs of Defi newbies and Veterans.
Under the guide, participants could be taken through several basic topics like “What is a DEX” and more advanced ones like “Strategy Backtesting Tools”. Users would have access to explainer videos and visuals to complement their learning process.
Under the courses, there would be comprehensive lessons with structured courses. This includes “Getting Started With Uniswap” and “Liquidity Provider Course. “
Uniswap University to Empower Liquidity Providers
Reporters took a glance at the platform and observed that topics like” fundamentals of becoming a liquidity provider on v3″ would be one of the advanced courses to be taught. The course description says:
In this chapter, we will explore several potential strategies that you, as a liquidity provider, can consider. These include holding (HODL) stable coins, maintaining 50% of two different tokens, possessing 100% of one token, providing wide-range liquidity, providing narrow-range liquidity, and supplying liquidity in volatile token pools. Each strategy comes with its own set of advantages and drawbacks.
The team explains that the University has tailored every element to empower liquidity providers. Under simulation, participants would be able to practice scenarios like exploring advanced position management tools and adding or removing liquidity.
Months ago, it was reported that Uniswap’s Business Source License had expired, making developers fork the Uniswap v3 protocol. This enabled them to deploy their DEXs. In a couple of months, the fork attracted $123 million in total value locked (TVL). Interestingly, the majority of the capital was locked on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). According to the Uniswap documentation as of April, the code became open source. As one of the largest decentralized exchanges in the DeFi industry, Uniswap has $4 billion in TVL across all blockchains.
It is important to note that Uniswap v1 was launched in November 2018. It was created as a proof-of-concept for automated market makers (AMMs). The Uniswap v2 introduced new features and optimisation in 2020. Less than a year later, it recorded a trading volume of $135 billion. Later, the Uniswap v3 was introduced. The idea was to target the L1 Ethereum mainnet launch followed by L2 deployment on Optimism set.
Its native token (UNI) is currently trading at $4.25 and has a bearish market sentiment. As of press time, the asset was down by 1 percent in the last seven days, and 0.64 percent down in the last 24 hours.
