Odaily Planet Daily reported this morning that at the WebX 2025 conference in Tokyo, Japan, Uniswap Labs founder and CEO Hayden Adams stated in a fireside chat that, "As we envisioned the next phase of Uniswap, we realized that if the crypto world was actively developing Layer 2, we also needed to expand and further improve our products to better serve our users. We believe that Layer 2 is the optimal underlying layer for DeFi—extremely cheap, incredibly fast, and maintaining its decentralized advantages."

During the development of UniChain, we engaged with users to understand the challenges they faced. Specifically, our goal is to build a more comprehensive architecture, from a simple frontend to the API that supports it, and then to custom-built layers for collaboration. One of Uniswap's most unique new features is how we prioritize transactions. We create fair prioritization, resulting in a pool that ultimately generates profits for liquidity providers and reduces value loss. Users can experience this feature in the Uniswap v4 Hook.

The ultimate goal for asset issuers is to be able to create liquidity at low cost on DEXs like Uniswap, using automated strategies without having to work with market makers.

Today, DeFi products offer a poor user experience (UX), similar to the early days of the internet. However, we are working hard to improve the UI and abstract messaging and data transmission protocols. Furthermore, I am a staunch privacy advocate and believe the crypto industry will continue its decentralization trend, resulting in more robust and comprehensive decentralized products.
