One of DeFi’s foundational products just got a major upgrade.
Uniswap announced the mainnetmainnet launch of Uniswap V2 on Monday, introducing new features like price oracles, flash swaps, and liquidityliquidity pools for any ERC20 tokentoken pair. The launch follows nearly two months of review on Ethereum testnets, and also includes the addition of a currently inactive protocol transaction charge to be used to help fund decentralized development of Uniswap in the future.
We are thrilled to announce Uniswap V2 has been deployed to the Ethereum mainet!!!

Uniswap offers decentralized token exchanges using pools of tokens filled by liquidity providers. Liquidity providers receive a fee for each swap facilitated by Uniswap.
The new features of the upgraded protocol are welcome additions to the toolkits of traders and liquidity providers working within the DeFi ecosystem. While users could swap between ERC20 tokens in Uniswap V1, changes under the hood mean that these transactions will now be less expensive and allow liquidity providers to diversify their holdings.
The original Uniswap protocol was not reliable as a price oracle because prices could change significantly in a short amount of time depending on available liquidity. V2 measures the price at the beginning of a block before any trades have taken place and combines it with historical price data to deliver a functional oracle.
The approach is novel and Uniswap will continue to release documentation and guidelines to spur development. More oracles using different approaches to price discovery are key to achieving a standard price and resisting exploits.
DENVER—On Friday, ETHDenver emcee Hudson Jameson called Tom Bean of bZx to the stage to give a talk called, “Leveraging DeFi with Fulcrum.” The protocol allows developers to build “applications that empower lenders, borrowers, and traders with the most flexible decentralized finance protocol on Ethereum.” But after calling Bean to the podium, Jameson was met with awkward silence. So he tried again, killing time with—what else?—jokes about TRON. But Bean never showed. Bean’s absence was an inausp...
Flash swaps function much like dYdX flash loans that were used to attack the bZx protocol earlier in 2020. Users can get as many tokens as they want to use for activities like arbitrage or app testing, so long as they return all the tokens or pay the equivalent value back before the end of the block. If a return transaction isn’t submitted before then, the entire transaction is canceled.
Uniswap V1 launched in November 2018 and by the end of 2019 had over $25 million locked in liquidity pools. Total value locked reached an all-time high of more than $72 million on February 13 before crashing to just $21 million by March 16. Locked value has recovered somewhat since then and now sits at around $43 million.
An investor’s $1 billion Bitcoin bet on the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid swung massively on Wednesday, with their account surviving a $32 million drawdown on paper, as the asset’s price ping-ponged on a volatile day of trading. The user, controlling a wallet starting with “0x507,” saw their position whipsaw between a profit and a loss, hours after topping off the 40x leveraged long position, according to blockchain explorer HypurrScan. Bitcoin rose to a record $109,500 earlier in the day....
Digital assets may be firmly in the mainstream, with institutional involvement and a crypto-friendly president in the White House. But hackers and fraudsters are having a field day so far this year. Crypto users have lost over $1.7 billion to these groups—already 14% more than 2024’s total losses of $1.49 billion, according to blockchain security firm Immunefi. In the same period last year, losses totaled $420 million, the firm said. The report comes amid ongoing concerns about the vulnerabil...
Libre, a regulated real-world asset platform, and the TON Foundation have launched a $500 million tokenized fund on The Open Network, aiming to bring Telegram’s $2.4 billion in corporate debt onto the blockchain for the first time. Dubbed the Telegram Bond Fund, the product allows institutional and accredited investors to gain exposure to Telegram’s outstanding bonds directly through the TON blockchain, according to a statement shared with Decrypt. The fund will also participate in future Telegr...
