The "father of Uniswap", the spoiler of the trading platform, and the "unemployed youth" who can't program, are at their peak.
Since September, there have been constant battles in the DeFi circle, and I will appear on the stage after you sing. A few days ago, Uniswap announced the release of the token UNI on the Ethereum mainnet, and the news instantly caused a sensation in the industry.
According to statistics from The Block Research, the decentralized trading protocol Uniswap added 57,976 new users in July, a month-on-month increase of 132%, and its website visits also increased from about 90,000 in June to about 1.42 million in July, a year-on-year Increase by about 15 times and so on.

Regarding the founder, such a passage has been circulated in the community recently, and it can be seen that the founder's story is very inspirational. The education I have received since I was a child is "
The sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold.” Only those who have experienced ups and downs can achieve themselves. Hayden graduated from Stony Brook University in 2016 with a bachelor’s degree in engineering. After graduation, he applied for a job at Siemens and became a a mechanical engineer.
In 2017, the cryptocurrency market entered the most frenetic wave, but at the same time Hayden fell into the first trough of his life. He was swept out of a layoff at Siemens and became part of the army of the unemployed.

up-and-coming
Challenge the "phenomenal opponent" of the centralized trading platform. Although DEX has gradually gained momentum as early as 2017, before 2020, if it is said that "DEX replaces CEX", it is simply a fantasy, the most extravagant dream in the world, even if everyone knows and firmly believes that "DEX will eventually replace CEX", but no one dares to say how far this future is.
Note: CEX (centralized trading platform)
It wasn't until the emergence of Uniswap that everyone thought that it was so close to their dreams.
It has directly driven the ecological development and prosperity of AMM-type DEX. Represented by Uniswap, Automated Market Maker (Automated Market Maker) has begun to emerge on the DEX track. It replaces manual quotations with established algorithms, which not only removes centralized matching and Clearing and settlement, which also eliminates market makers in transactions, became popular in the decentralized world once it was launched.

When Hayden exclaimed "it's hard to describe how crazy this is". However, when Uniswap was burning like a fire, Hayden didn't know that he and his platform had been targeted by others.
The attack initiator is compatible with UniSwap’s token pool at this time, and there is basically no threshold for users to transfer within these two projects. SushiSwap directly rewards these users who are willing to transfer liquidity with platform currency. In this way, SushiSwap sucked most of UniSwap's liquidity, known as "vampire attack".
The following story is magical. After the rapid rise of Sushiswap, the founder cleared his warehouse and "ran away" and turned around to give the project to others. After the price skyrocketed and then fell by 90%, the founder returned the tokens and apologized, and then the successor The liquidity migration is completed in one operation in 6 hours, and 1 billion liquidity is sucked... It has become a topic that the DeFi world loves to talk about.
In order to fight back, Uniswap announced the release of the token UNI on the Ethereum mainnet, and airdropped a total of 19,129,836.44 UNI to the addresses of early players. Among them, the top player received an airdrop with a current price of 3.91 million US dollars, which seized the focus of the entire market.
From a big boy who chose to embrace the encryption world from scratch due to unemployment, to a figure who is now an all-powerful figure in the blockchain world, the Uniswap created by Hayden has had a continuous and far-reaching impact on the blockchain ecology. UNI has been launched on several major exchanges, and his journey has just begun.
At the same time, Uniswap has occupied the undisputed leader of DEX in the past few months. And there will be plans to migrate to Layer-2. Is it possible that it will still be strong in the 3.0 era? Let us wait and see what the future holds!
