UniswapX Revealed: A Game-Changer for DeFi

It’s ETHCC time, the Ethereum Community Conference where groundbreaking announcements are made. And ahead of the conference, Uniswap Labs has already released their latest protocol, UniswapX, a game-changing addition to the Uniswap ecosystem.

In this episode, we have Hayden Adams exploring the ins and outs of UniswapX. This protocol ensures competitive order execution in DeFi, safeguarding swappers from MEV extractors, arbitrageurs, and front runners, so that everyday users can secure the best possible deals.
