UNI

AAVE, UNI, and every multi billion dollar project that lasts more than 4 years at some point

Phylaras

Exactly this! Remove Gensler (demoting him is apparently possible). Drop existing SEC claims against non-malicious agents (UNI, SOL, etc.) Establish a sandbox for new crypto ideas that don't need to meet SEC regulatory requirements--so that we can figure out what would make sense. Recognize DAOs federally, and make sure they have additional legal advantages over LLCs. He's mentioned BTC mining but that isn't the support we need.

Funny. I made $20k investing in $UNI

Hitchie_Rawtin

UNI sellers realised $1400-$1600 at release instead of banking a possible $16000 eight months later or even having over $3k right now, sometimes sellers are suckers.

doc_bison

I use Gemini as my gateway and Uniswap for all my trades. I'm just not going to buy UNI because Dexs are certainly on the Feds radar.

I love Uniswap but am weary of investing in UNI as they seem like a prime target for attack by the federal government.

GMX, UNI, CRV... Totally undervalued

Yeah that's the narrative I keep hearing ... but ... Have you seen the post of someone graduating at a big UNI and mentioning bitcoin?

Somebody__Online

I’m stoked for uniswap v4 and got their revenue share in the future. I have a ton of UNI tokens waiting

LegendaryJohnny

Well if history will repeat itself then the time for exponential gains will be October - Spring. But history could not repeat itself this time, too many variables. BUT I have experience with UNI. I had shitloads of UNI on margin and sold at the very bottom in Nov 2020. Literally next day it went back above 2 dollars and never went below since then. Then in few months UNI was 45 dollars. I could be rich if I was not idiot. This time I am just not selling in the moment when market goes down.

The Uniswap Coin is super important for the Uniswap DEX because: 1. It lets users vote on key decisions, like protocol upgrades and fee changes, making the platform truly community-driven. 2. **It also rewards users who provide liquidity, ensuring there are always enough funds for trading.** 3. Plus, having UNI tokens adds an extra layer of engagement and ownership, which boosts the platform's popularity and decentralization. Overall, UNI is crucial for governance, incentives, and the growth of Uniswap. Number 2 is 99% of the positive aspects of Uniswap and other DEXes ike it. Polkadot connects multiple blockchains through its unique multi-chain framework, including parachains (independent blockchains like Acala and Moonbeam) and the central relay chain, which ensures security and communication. It also uses bridges to connect with external blockchains like Ethereum and Bitcoin. This setup allows for seamless cross-chain transfers and interoperability if people care about that, which many do.

SquatDeadliftBench

Definitely: 1. Polkadot (DOT): Connects multiple blockchains, allowing them to interact. 2. Uniswap (UNI): (DEX) for swapping tokens.

Was going to write and say almost exactly this. Tried to buy BTC back when it was £90, couldn’t work it out, instead bought shares that went from £1.20 to almost zero. Kicking myself when BTC hit £1,100 Ended up dabbling in different ALTS for years, holding and averaging down while they tanked, and then selling as soon as them made a profit (bought ETH at £400 average down when it hit £60 in 2017, had an average of around £95 a coin and sold it all around £120 to only to watch it go up in 2020/21 to £3k+) I’ve been around for years and made hardly any money, always buying ‘new projects’ that just do nothing, putting more cash in to average down for 3/4yrs and sell after breaking even. If I’d just bought BTC at £1.1k when I thought it was overpriced and the run was over, or £3k after it dropped from £14k, thinking that BTC has to be dead now. Finally bought some when it hit £16k after dropping from £50k Holding bags in loads of projects that were the big thing 4yrs ago (ALGO/HBAR/VET/ADA/QNT/DOT/UNI) That Bit of BTC I bought went from 10% of my portfolio to 60% in value without ever buying any more of anything Now going to convert all ALTS into BTC as soon as it makes sense, and buy and hold nothing but BTC

mymongoose

+1 for $ROSE - it has a good compromise compared with the top 10-20 coins - relatively low risk and high potential upside As others have mentioned LINK and UNI are pretty safe bets. ZRO, ZK, MINA are others that I’d say are low risk plays with good tech and strong community support. As always DYOR

LegendaryJohnny

Yeah dont do it, I sold significant amout of UNI on 4th of November 2020 for 1.77 dollar. All time low was 1.75. Literally next day in jumped above 2 dollars and never went below 2 dollars. Than it was going up to 45 dollars I think. I could be pretty rich lol. Since then I know that selling low and realizing loss is stupid thing. Better to wait 6 months or a year before making decision.

mrDerptAstic

DCA BTC & ETH only buy nowadays SOL, UNI, LINK and a few other layer three's have made their place on the map.

devCheckingIn

I keep getting these alerts from the Coinbase app telling me that UNI is up 10%. What the hell is UNI and why is it doing so well when everything else is a bump on a log?

Cryptomaniacuk

really? is it cos I don't know what a vulnerable generator is? weird 6 years in UNI in computer data science and still never heard of the term, best still,, in crypto even longer and yet,,, please illuminate me

YOUNG-ARDS-SURVIVOR

Thank you , probably going to get uniswap UNI , it’s been volatile I think it went up 11% just in the past 24 hours . Not sure if it will dip or continue the trend upwards since it’s trending upwards so fast .

blue-chips: ETH, BTC, XMR, UNI Potential blue-chips: * Tron - if you're laughing at this it's just because of your own ignorance, Tron facilitates the most USDT payments of any chain. One of the few chains with sizable real world adoption. * BSC - sort of becoming more irrelevant out but a still massive force with a lot of on-chain activity. * Solana - the only L1 to regularly compete and out-perform ETH in some on-chain statistics, carving out several niches( DePIN, Memecoins, NFT's, payments)

In order of biggest to smallest bags: SOL NEAR LINK AERO ASI (Altsignals not FET- the OG ASI) UNISWAP PAAL AI BRETT My bags are following my 2 favorite narratives (SOL is not really married to either narrative, but I believe that SOL will climb the market cap ranks to an even higher level once we get thru next altcoin season. And similar logic applies to UNI who is the undisputed Dex king in crypto and I think UNI price will reflect this sentiment) 1) BASE network is going to run this place in a couple of years. Maybe sooner *Aerodrome is the choice dex for Base *Brett will be Base's top Meme coin when it's all said and done 2) Support for my favorite AI projects. *PAAL AI: go explore their community and developing ecosystem and you'll see why *NEAR: NEAR has been at this for so long and finally we're seeing one of the most well oiled protocols available in the AI space. Performance wise, NEAR passes the smell test every which way you slice it and is trending to be one AIs biggest beneficiaries of AI narrative during altseason *LINK- the #1 oracle in space where Oracles will be huge for crypto. Not to mention the importance of connecting blockchains to real-world assets is something that I think will be critical for the performance of the many Crypto AI players *Altsignals: whether you believe in the use of AI protocols creating buy sell signals for traders or not, it's incredibly clear that this functionality will eventually become ubiquitous in crypto trading circles. It's genuinely a well run company too. DYOR and good luck : )

$UNI

Logical_Lemming

Same, I bought and sold like 3 times when it was ranging from $6-$8, then it ripped... Gotta learn to trust myself! I still think it goes higher as long as BTC and ETH stay stable. Fee switch proposal + ETH ETF is super bullish for UNI.

Successful-Mode473

No airdrop beats ENS or UNI, at least personally. Both netted me ~5 ETH each, for being a one time user.

Thank you for engaging with us and for your valuable input! Let's break it down: >***Whats the point of fracturing utility into different tokens and NFTs? Why not just consolidate everything into one main token and NFT to make it less confusing?*** **$SEED** and **$JAY** serve distinct purposes to enhance the ecosystem's functionality and user experience. * **$SEED** is our utility token, kind of like the Swiss Army knife of our ecosystem. It has multiple use cases, from fee reductions to staking rewards. Plus, you can convert it into $JAY, adding a layer of flexibility and utility. * **$JAY** is the governance token. This is your ticket to having a say in the platform’s future. Holders of $JAY get to participate in crucial decision-making processes, ensuring the community’s voice shapes our path forward. Think of it like UNI for Uniswap – it’s all about decentralizing control. Now, onto the NFTs – these aren’t just shiny collectibles; they function similarly to VIP levels in centralized exchanges. Owning these NFTs can grant you exclusive benefits and rewards, enhancing your experience and potential gains. Why not consolidate everything? Separate tokens give us the flexibility to adapt and evolve. As the ecosystem grows, we can introduce new utilities, governance features, and rewards without overhauling the entire system. This adaptability is crucial for staying ahead in the fast-paced crypto world. Mixing these utilities into a single token or NFT could lead to chaos in value conveyance and utility overlap. By keeping them separate, we ensure each element serves its purpose efficiently, maintaining clarity and balance in the ecosystem. This structure allows us to cater to various user needs without compromising on functionality or user experience. **In short, having different tokens and NFTs ensures that our ecosystem is robust, flexible, and user-focused.** It might seem complex at first, but it’s all designed to provide maximum utility and engagement for our community. >***Any plans to add advanced orders in the future? Why is the spread like this? Is it a liquidity issue or is this the intended way that orders work on the orderbook?*** What you tested was our test platform, designed to collect data and evaluate features. The current order book experiences delays due to order routing and grouping. We are running a market-making (MM) bot in the backend to provide liquidity; however, it is not optimized, as we only spent six hours developing it. We apologize for any inconvenience and are committed to improving this before our official launch. We are in discussions with several major market makers who will support liquidity at launch. Additionally, take profit (TP) and stop-loss (SL) orders will be available by the end of next week, with other order types to follow. >***How do you plan on attracting liquidity when the platform actually launches?*** >*And to top it all of, your docs state that there will be "voluntary" KYC and AML thru third-party verifiers.* ***Whats the point of having it voluntary?*** The JayX platform offers "voluntary" KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) through third-party verifiers to provide flexibility and user choice. By making these processes voluntary, users can decide whether to undergo verification based on their preferences and needs. This approach allows users to match with exchange nodes who require different levels of verification, catering to varying levels of privacy and compliance requirements. The goal is to balance security and user autonomy, ensuring that users have control over their information while still enabling a secure and compliant environment. >*So, the platform seems underdeveloped for something that quote: "challenges the foundations of traditional financial systems". If you can deliver on these promises, then JayX can surely become one of the biggest decentralized trading platforms, but for now, it looks like just a primitive dYdX.* Thank you for your feedback. We understand your concerns and appreciate your honesty. While the platform is still in its development phase, we are committed to delivering on our promises and continuously improving our features and infrastructure. We’re fast-growing and make **new iterations every week** aggressively. We believe that great products come from countless iterations. That's why we need serious users like you to provide feedback and grow with us. Your insights are invaluable in shaping JayX into the powerhouse it’s destined to be.

Memecoins are all pump and dumps, basically there’s only a few scenarios that play out, 1) you get in early on a meme coin that then pumps in price and you can offload to later buyers 2) you buy when it’s already been pumped by influencers and you are their exit liquidity 3) you buy a memecoins when it’s low and there’s no traction so it stays low or goes down further. No one makes a memecoin for longevity - it’s a meme, they’re short lived. They are created, influencers, twitter accounts etc try to hype it up, and then they dump on people and exit with funds. Similarly there’s a whole ton of non meme projects that will have a large token supply and will dump on people after hyping their project. The only real sound options are either established protocols like (I don’t own any) MKR, UNI, etc, L1 blockchains like ETH, DOT, etc, or BTC (safest). All that being said if you are comfortable risking what you are putting in then go for a memecoin, you could hit the big one.. but you should generally expect to be someone’s exit liquidity and lose what you put in.

#DEX Pro-Arguments Below is a DEX pro-argument written by Shippior. > A Decentralized Exchange, often abbreviated to DEX, is an exchange that does not belong to a central entity and all transactions happen on a blockchain. The three largest DEXs by [Total Value Locked](https://cointelegraph.com/explained/what-is-total-value-locked-tvl-in-crypto-and-why-does-it-matter) (TVL) are [Curve Finance](https://curve.fi/#/ethereum/swap), [Uniswap](https://uniswap.org/) and [PancakeSwap](https://pancakeswap.finance/). For a full list of DEXs see this [dashboard](https://defillama.com/protocols/Dexes). > > The largest difference between a CEX and a DEX is the way that liquidity is provided. Most CEXs use an [order book](https://learn.bybit.com/trading/order-book-explained-for-beginners/_ style ) for transactions. Most DEXs employ [Auto Mated Market Making](https://blog.0x.org/market-making-in-defi/) (AMM). These type of transactions are essential for operating an exchange with low liquidity. The supply and demand are matched by a protocol to prevent orders from not being fulfilled for a long time as there are generally less transaction offers available when there is lower liquidity. > > AMM works by users "lending" their crypto as collateral for others to trade. This is done by depositing tokens in a [liquidity pool](https://www.moonpay.com/learn/defi/what-are-liquidity-pools). Users are often provided incentive by the protocol to deposit their tokens by receiving a fixed interest rate on the crypto that they deposit. Therefore users who wanted to hold their crypto for the long term can actually put them in a pool via a smart contract to earn interest on this crypto without having to trade it whereas it would be collecting dust on an CEX. APRs are as high at 100%+ on larger DEXs like [Curve](https://curve.fi/#/ethereum/pools) and higher than 250% for smaller DEXs like [Crescent](https://app.crescent.network/farm). > > Trading fees of DEXs are mostly rather straightforward. Uniswap take a flat 0.3% trading fee, just like [Osmosis](https://osmosis.zone/) on each trade on top of the network transaction fee. Transaction fees can go as low as 0.02% for Curve Finance. These swap fees are provided to the people providing liquidity in the pool as an incentive for putting in their crypto. > > All trades made on a DEX are available as they can be found on the blockchain. Therefore it is possible to base your trading activity on the activities of other people. This also means that you can verify that your assets are where you think they are at all time. Your assets can not be lended to other people without you knowing of it and in most cases without you agreeing to it through the use of a smart contract. > > Compared to a CEX (with the exception of Coinbase) it is possible to own a part of the DEX. Many DEX have their own tokens. For example Curve Finance has [Curve DAO](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/curve-dao-token/) and Uniswap has [UNI](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/uniswap/). These tokens are used to pay for transaction fees on the DEX, they can be just held on to in the hope of them increasing in value but most important of all these tokens can be used to participate in governance. Everyone can put a proposal for improving a DEX, see the [Curve DAO](https://gov.curve.fi/) as an example for this, up for vote and everyone that owns the token of the DEX can vote (mostly 1 token = 1 vote) to determine how to go forward. Thus one can decide how to go forward to make the DEX even better. Something that is almost entirely impossible with a CEX. > > Privacy on a DEX is much better than on a CEX. On most DEXs no Know Your Customer (KYC) is required, a wallet that can not be linked to the person that is using it is sufficient. > > DEXs can have all assets on their platform that are available on the blockchain itself of made available through wrapped assets by [bridges](https://blog.liquid.com/blockchain-cross-chain-bridge). In theory the number of bridges that can be made between blockchains is infinite thereby the number of assets that can be listed on a DEX is also infinite. In reality though there are only bridges between the major blockchains available at the moment. This still provides plenty to chose from. According to Coinmarketcap there are currently [935 coins](https://www.coingecko.com/en/exchanges/uniswap#:~:text=Currently%2C%20there%20are%20938%20coins,a%2024h%20volume%20of%20%24319%2C357%2C719.14.) available to be traded on Uniswap and [3,223 coins](https://www.coingecko.com/en/exchanges/pancakeswap) on PancakeSwap. ***** Would you like to learn more?

UNI and ARB are very poor examples of gov tokens. Many gov tokens include revenue share, or have votes that actually matter. For example, vlCVX voters have earned over $300m in the past 2.5 years through voting incentives alone.

UNI was given out for free, I doubt people are complaining about it.

I thought UNI token was going to implement profit sharing in the near future. There was a vote on it recently and I heard it passed.

> Yeah totally doesn’t smell like a ploy team Warren cooked up… >The lawsuit alleges that the digital assets listed on Coinbase are securities. This includes Solana (SOL), Polygon (MATIC), Near Protocol (NEAR), Decentraland (MANA), Algorand (ALGO), Uniswap (UNI), Tezos (XTZ), and Stellar (XLM). The plaintiffs argue that these tokens constitute ‘investment contracts,’ subject to state securities laws OK, so just don't invest in them. I wish I could punch these people in the face.

Downtown_Feedback665

I’d take a gander to say there might be less than 10 actual use cases. BTC is always gunna BTC, but past that there’s: Remittance - eg XLM Supply chain/logistics - eg Hyperledger Fabric Privacy - eg XMR Decentralized compute/Web3/smart contracts - eg ETH Contracts or real estate - eg companies like RealBlocks Decentralized Finance - eg AAVE Government processes - eg Estonia. The country. Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) - eg UNI, MakerDAO Honestly I can’t think of any more actual use cases that make sense. People will say gaming, I don’t buy it People will say IoT, I don’t buy it People will say voting, I don’t buy it People will say for the memes, I don’t buy it There might be 50ish crypto companies all legitimately vying for the use cases I mentioned, and in good faith I might add. However, the power law should wipe out most of the competitors within our lifetimes. Which leads to maybe 10-20 real companies and more than 14k failed projects, scams, and Ponzi schemes.

Somebody__Online

Personally I only use XMR when buying stuff that requires XMR. I never hold it long term. I usually do t even source it until im shopping those markets. ZRX is one I only use the exchange contracts for but don’t hold tokens. I already have UNI tokens and consider that more the golden standard for open source trade products on Ethereum main net. It’s interesting to see more and more people commenting about projects they like and what they are choosing for their portfolios

TheFlamingoPower

jtrom1010

Because it still has room to scale multiple x if you think it can shoot for the market cap of coins like UNI. Because you think the project has long term potential to hold? Because you want exposure to the Base narrative without the risk of smaller cap coins, but with more growth runway than large caps?

GoingAllTheJay

Loading up on SOL UNI and PRO while the getting is good

Dinkledorker

SEC is supposed to be there to defend the investor. So far they're constantly doing the opposite. With XRP, ETH, UNI for example. The XRP case is a prime example. Extend and extend and extend... Long enough for people to "lose interest". How is that at the best interest for investors?

ronardo1

Gensler hurt my UNI bags, how do I sue him

Boring-Test5522

This is an overstatement. Even most of Bluechip Altcoin will never recover ATH. ETH never reaches 4800 or UNI does not reclaim $48. It is even worse that it cannot reach 15 before crashing again. You'd better off by just buying new trend altcoin and sell it to the next idiot when people started talking about it in Twitter. In crypto, it is how earliest you are and how fast you turn the next guy to your exit liquidity.

In 2013 I had just heard about Bitcoin when it hit the news that it reached $1k. I bought in and the market crashed shortly after. I also lost my holdings it the Cryptsy theft. I thought that was it, Bitcoin was dead. In 2017, to my surprise, Bitcoin came back on my radar as it surged into the thousands. I watched it climb and climb before I finally fomo'd in around $8k. I took out a 20k loan, bought a bunch of alts and did 5x on my portfolio. Then it started to crash in January 2018 and by the time I pulled out I walked away with about 60k. That year ended up being very rough for me financially and that 60k came in clutch. Oh, and I also thought Bitcoin was for real dead this time. In 2020 Bitcoin came up on my radar again, I bought a small amount in the summer and now wise to its habit or crashing hard I only dabbled a bit and then pulled out some small profits. In Feb of 2021 I came across a thread on reddit where someone discovered they had $8k worth of UNI from a Uniswap airdrop some months earlier. HOLY SHIT I THINK I QUALIFY FOR THIS. I checked my account and sure enough, a free $8k was sitting there waiting for me to claim. But this was now late in the market cycle and things began to crash shortly thereafter. Then up again but not higher than the previous high. Then I rode it all the way back down like a fool. Finally pulling out near the bottom when I needed money for a trip. And that's why I am not a millionaire.

tldr; The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a Wells notice to Uniswap, indicating potential enforcement action. Uniswap responded by arguing that its operations do not meet the definitions of a securities exchange or broker, criticizing the SEC's approach as arbitrary and lacking clear guidelines for DeFi projects. Uniswap maintains that its native UNI token is a utility token, not a security, and is prepared to defend its position, even to the Supreme Court if necessary. Following the notice, UNI's price dropped by 17%, with significant sales by major token holders. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

GoingAllTheJay

Managed to get most of my UNI to usdc before it sunk too far. Worried whether swapping back is a good idea or bad idea if it goes further down.

theapplekid

Uniswap's contracts are open source and lots of people fork them and deploy their own AMM liquidity pools based on them (their v3 contracts were closed for a while though, and v4 probably will be also when they come out) How exactly would you say their LPs are "centralized"? You can interact with them pseudonymously on the blockchain. People can even deploy their own pseudonymously. Most pools just distribute swap fees to the liquidity providers. *Some* pools also distribute a portion of swap fees to UNI token holders also (this is optional and a parameter of the pool set at deployment)

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Uniswap's token UNI plummeted 17% to its lowest since late February, following a Wells notice from the SEC, indicating an official investigation. The market cap of UNI token dropped 17%, now trading at $5.54 million. Uniswap Labs founder Hayden Adams expressed readiness to contest the SEC’s action, foreseeing a potential Supreme Court battle. Uniswap argues that UNI is not a security and thus not under SEC's regulatory scope. The situation reflects ongoing tensions between the SEC and the cryptocurrency industry, with Uniswap's defense uncertain amidst broader regulatory challenges. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

monkeyhold99

Yes of course. UNI ain’t a meme though. And that’s why it’s been crushed on the BTC and ETH ratio

milliardo-bastion

Which DEX actually gives the holders of the native coin a percentage of trading fees? I recall UNI was supposed to do it but then ended up not going for it. Surely there is other DEX's who do have that feature. Otherwise what is the point of holding UNI or anything like it if just for governance.

recessiontime

Is UNI going to be delisted from CEXs because of this?

sageleader

Welp there goes me trying to make my money back from UNI being down so much.

monkeyhold99

Well, you shouldn’t have been holding UNI in the first place. It’s a worthless “governance” token, just like thousands of others on the market. Sure, *maybe* they will implement a fee switch to drive revenue to holders, but that would likely make UNI a security (if it isn’t already). The other issue is that Uniswap isn’t anything special compared to its competitors. There are tons of DEXes and LP options out there.

HunterHunted

Seeing UNI under $10 hurts, it's not right

timelesssmidgen

So what's the play here if you own UNI (as I do)? I already took a big haircut. Should I cut my losses and run, hodl, or buy the dip?

PoloValentino

Damn, I thought $UNI was gonna take a bigger dip than this. Was hoping to buy on a big discount

Uniswap has become a dinosaur… so many of the Up coming coins have insufficient liquidity… honestly it’s basically like a CEX now. a day… Even Broccoli is beast compared to uniswap with easy cross chain swaps, and SWAPR has like a dozen lists with over 10,000 coins… there is so many swap platforms that are trying to come up and will be doing things like what Uniswap did when they did an airdrop like 3-4 years ago.. Don’t get stuck on UNI even it’s name speaks so much truththat it leaves you in a trap, the loner UNI/ONE TRICKING SO MANY INTO THINKING THEY ARE THE ONE! Ultimately they suck compared to what’s out their now… branch out try things like BASESWAP, Broccoli, SWAPR… and that’s just the tip of an ice berth! 😎

https://news.bitcoin.com/uniswap-governance-votes-unanimously-to-empower-uni-holders-with-protocol-fee-rewards/ >These will be allocated on a pro-rata basis to uniswap (UNI) holders who have proactively staked and delegated their votes. So for those holders who missed the news they are sol? Or can you stake now?

Medium_Lavishness138

BASE because AERO is going to flip UNI

No_Yogurtcloset_2547

Thank you for replying! But why was it rejected lol It would be the ultimate utility for a utility token which UNI is. What other "utility" does it have than to decentralize the ownership of the exchange which it represents?

No_Yogurtcloset_2547

So have they already implemented the feature that UNI holders get a share of the fees generated? This was supposed to be THE value proposition for holding the token.

AdamFitri2005

It's going to UNI's mcap last bull run which is about 25B

AERO is bases main liquidity token for their dex, similar to UNI

AdamFitri2005

How are people here downvoting a post abt JUP but love posts about UNI lmao

M4cHiin360

It's a DEX token, it's mostly designed to lose value overtime due to it's high inflation. The only exception being UNI

LCIDMare

Aero is a hard fork of Velo. I’m bullish on both, especially Aero. It could be the token used to onboard users to Base chain when CB releases their on-ramp wallet (assuming CB never airdrops their own governance token on Base). Think UNI for Uniswap and CAKE for Cakeswap.

Crivos

QUICK is a very good buy right now. It’s just like UNI (7.5 billion cap) but their m cap is only 55 million. It has a lot of growth ahead of it. Hidden gem.

First of all I'm all in. I have around $1,000,000 USD invested, so this might be biased. Aerodrome.Finance (AERO) and it's first mover advantage Aerodrome, an AMM aggregator built on Base, a Layer 2 scaling solution for Coinbase, is considered a promising project with potential for significant growth. Here's a breakdown of the bullish points: * **Early mover advantage:** Aerodrome is the first AMM on Base, positioning it to benefit from the growth of the Base ecosystem. * **Sustainable model:** Unlike many projects, Aerodrome has a locked token supply and doesn't rely on venture capital, reducing sell pressure. It also incentivizes users through veNFT rewards for participation. * **Strong growth:** Aerodrome's TVL has been growing rapidly, indicating increasing user adoption. * **Integration with Velodrome:** Participation in Velodrome's Slipstream is expected to bring significant trading volume to Aerodrum. * **Reduced fees:** With recent Ethereum upgrades lowering transaction fees, Aerodrum on Base is poised to attract more users. * **Potential for high APY:** Aerodrome offers high yields for liquidity providers. To me, Aerodrome presents an attractive opportunity due to its first-mover advantage, sustainable economic model, and the growth potential of the Base ecosystem. Price predictions: It's currently hovering at about $0.71± with a recent pullback after making new highs. This is so cheap compared to what it will likely be as the market cap is only currently around $250± Million. Whereas similar DEX platforms like Uniswap is currently at $10.5 Billion. To catch up to Uniswap which seems easy due to the broad customer base of Coinbase and BASE, it could easily surpass Uniswap in this bull run. If it just manages to catch up to Uniswap at CURRENT market caps, it'll be a 42x±. Which means a $30 AERO. When UNI was at its peak market cap during last bull run, it was at $33.86 Billion MC, that would be an 135x AERO equivalent to $97 per AERO. Let's not get hasty but it's safe to say that $5-$10 AERO is an easy target. We are just at the beginning of the bull run and this is still a tiny market cap coin that has managed to fly under the radar. We are in exciting times people. Let's make some money together! ------- (Not financial advice, this is just my personal opinion)

You forgot to mention AERO or aerodrome finance which is backed by Coinbase ventures themselves. What is Aerodrome Finance? Aerodrome Finance is an automated market maker (AMM) built on the Base network. Think of an AMM as a platform where cryptocurrency trades happen automatically, without the need for a traditional order book. Aerodrome aspires to be the central hub for liquidity on Base, similar to how Uniswap is on Ethereum. Here are some key features: Liquidity Incentive Engine: This system aims to attract users by rewarding them with AERO tokens for providing liquidity (basically, adding funds to the trading pool). Vote-locked Governance: Holders of AERO can lock their tokens for a set period to gain voting rights on the protocol's future. The longer the lock-up period, the more voting weight a user has. Friendly User Experience: Aerodrome aims to be easy to use for newcomers to DeFi (Decentralized Finance). AERO Coin AERO is the utility token of Aerodrome Finance. Here's what you can do with it: Earn rewards: As mentioned earlier, you can earn AERO by providing liquidity. Governance: Lock your AERO to participate in voting on the protocol's development. Pros and Cons of Aerodrome Finance Pros: Base Network: Built on Base, which is a new network backed by Coinbase, a reputable name in the crypto world. This could give Aerodrome a boost in visibility and adoption. Focus on Liquidity: The incentive engine and governance model are designed to attract liquidity providers, which is crucial for a successful AMM. User-friendly Interface: If Aerodrome delivers on its promise of a user-friendly experience, it could attract more people to DeFi. Cons: New Project: Aerodrome is a relatively new project, launched in 2023. This means it has a shorter track record compared to established AMMs. Competition: The DeFi space is crowded with AMMs, each with its own features. Aerodrome needs to stand out to capture market share. Reliance on Base Network: Aerodrome's success is tied to the success of the Base network. If Base doesn't gain traction, it could impact Aerodrome. Here's some reasoning to consider for AERO's future value: If Base Network takes off: As Base gains users and adoption, Aerodrome, as its central liquidity hub, could benefit significantly. This could drive up the price of AERO. Overall DeFi market: The general sentiment towards DeFi will also play a role. If DeFi continues to grow, AERO could rise in value along with other DeFi tokens. Competition: How Aerodrome competes with other AMMs will be a key factor. If it can offer unique features or attract more liquidity, the price could go up. If Base Network experiences significant growth and adoption, Aerodrome, as its core AMM, could see a surge in usage. This rise in demand for AERO's liquidity providing and governance functions could drive the price up. Possible Price Range (This is not financial advice): In this scenario, AERO's price could reach anywhere between $5-10 by the end of 2024. This bull market will be insane. The coins that rise with Bitcoin and have utility with a strong community will change lives. It's currently hovering at about $0.71± with a recent pullback after making new highs. This is so cheap compared to what it will likely be as the market cap is only currently around $250± Million. Whereas similar DEX platforms like Uniswap is currently at $10.5 Billion. To catch up to Uniswap which seems easy due to the broad customer base of Coinbase and BASE, it could easily surpass Uniswap in this bull run. If it just manages to catch up to Uniswap at CURRENT market caps, it'll be a 42x±. Which means a $30 AERO. When UNI was at its peak market cap during last bull run, it was at $33.86 Billion MC, that would be an 135x AERO equivalent to $97 per AERO. Let's not get hasty but it's safe to say that $5-$10 AERO is an easy target. We are just at the beginning of the bull run and this is still a tiny market cap coin that has managed to fly under the radar. We are in exciting times people. Let's make some money together! ------- (Not financial advice, this is just my personal opinion)

Personally I'd swap it for something like JUP but UNI is still gonna do good

Any reason whatsoever to hold on to my UNI?

Therefore users who wanted to hold their crypto for the long term can actually put them in a pool via a smart contract to earn interest on this crypto without having to trade it whereas it would be collecting dust on an CEX. APRs are as high at 100%+ on larger DEXs like [Curve](https://curve.fi/#/ethereum/pools) and higher than 250% for smaller DEXs like [Crescent](https://app.crescent.network/farm). > > Trading fees of DEXs are mostly rather straightforward. Uniswap take a flat 0.3% trading fee, just like [Osmosis](https://osmosis.zone/) on each trade on top of the network transaction fee. Transaction fees can go as low as 0.02% for Curve Finance. These swap fees are provided to the people providing liquidity in the pool as an incentive for putting in their crypto. > > All trades made on a DEX are available as they can be found on the blockchain. Therefore it is possible to base your trading activity on the activities of other people. This also means that you can verify that your assets are where you think they are at all time. Your assets can not be lended to other people without you knowing of it and in most cases without you agreeing to it through the use of a smart contract. > > Compared to a CEX (with the exception of Coinbase) it is possible to own a part of the DEX. Many DEX have their own tokens. For example Curve Finance has [Curve DAO](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/curve-dao-token/) and Uniswap has [UNI](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/uniswap/). These tokens are used to pay for transaction fees on the DEX, they can be just held on to in the hope of them increasing in value but most important of all these tokens can be used to participate in governance. Everyone can put a proposal for improving a DEX, see the [Curve DAO](https://gov.curve.fi/) as an example for this, up for vote and everyone that owns the token of the DEX can vote (mostly 1 token = 1 vote) to determine how to go forward. Thus one can decide how to go forward to make the DEX even better. Something that is almost entirely impossible with a CEX. > > Privacy on a DEX is much better than on a CEX. On most DEXs no Know Your Customer (KYC) is required, a wallet that can not be linked to the person that is using it is sufficient. > > DEXs can have all assets on their platform that are available on the blockchain itself of made available through wrapped assets by [bridges](https://blog.liquid.com/blockchain-cross-chain-bridge). In theory the number of bridges that can be made between blockchains is infinite thereby the number of assets that can be listed on a DEX is also infinite. In reality though there are only bridges between the major blockchains available at the moment. This still provides plenty to chose from. According to Coinmarketcap there are currently [935 coins](https://www.coingecko.com/en/exchanges/uniswap#:~:text=Currently%2C%20there%20are%20938%20coins,a%2024h%20volume%20of%20%24319%2C357%2C719.14.) available to be traded on Uniswap and [3,223 coins](https://www.coingecko.com/en/exchanges/pancakeswap) on PancakeSwap. ***** Would you like to learn more?

Assuming it's gonna be SOL's cycle this time like it was for ETH during 2021, wouldn't be crazy to assume JUP would do something similar to UNI

AdamFitri2005

I think it's going to UNI's mcap last cycle, so my price prediction for JUP is $15.70 could go higher tho

AdamFitri2005

Not true, ORCA, UNI and DYDX were always higher than JIP

1) checking BNB for 1 dollar in 2017, bought shitload of OMG token instead because Vitalik, staking promises etc, lost most of my money, BNB now for 600 dollars. I could literally be multimillionare if not this bad decision. 2) bought several thousands of UNI for 2.5, sold for 1.77, bottom was 1.75 that day, next day went back above 2, bever went below 2 ever again. Top was 45 dollars few months later. 3) OMG at one point in 2018 had good BTC/OMG ratio when I was moving tokens between exchanges. I was thinking to keep few BTC, but decided to go all in on OMG and keep holding that worthless pos. Thanks Jun Hasegawa, Vitalik Buterin and team of scammers behind.

My alt-bag is UNI, DOT, SOL and LTO. Feel pretty confident they all have a lot more potential for growth this cycle.

It's so beautiful seeing NEAR overtake LTC again 😍 BCH and UNI next please

DNT, GRT, UNI, ZRX, CGLD, ANKR have all gone up over 100% in the last month, and I have a bunch more that are +50% in the last month… I don’t know what you guys are waiting for, or what you expect to see or not see on reddit, but ALT gains are here for me!

I bought UNI and got some pretty decent gains from my stimulus on that, plus since I did a swap it was like getting another stimulus.
