Uniswap Founder: pools.trade Has Launched, First-Day Trading Volume Exceeds $150 Million

Odaily News, Uniswap founder Hayden Adams posted on X platform, expressing excitement about the launch of Uniswap's launchpad platform, Pools.trade.

Hayden Adams stated that prior to the official launch, some users had already discovered an early version of the smart contract and completed over $150 million in trading volume before the UI was released. Due to the need to support both the early test version and the final contract version simultaneously, the team updated the website and indexing system, causing a delay in the official release.

He noted that Uniswap has been used as token issuance infrastructure by the market for over 8 years, and the team hopes to work with other launch platforms to drive the development of this sector.

According to the introduction, the key features of Pools.trade include:

No additional launchpad fees—only the standard protocol fees for Uniswap v4 pools;

Automatic liquidity compounding to improve capital efficiency;

All launch pool liquidity is permanently locked;

Supports both instant issuance and crowdfunding issuance modes;

Integrated with multiple ecosystem entry points from day one, including the Uniswap Web app, wallet, trading API, Bitget, Fomo, GMGN, and OKX Wallet.

Hayden Adams also clarified that the 0.25% LP fee from Pools.trade does not go to the Uniswap team but is automatically reinvested into the locked liquidity pool. The revenue distribution mechanism allocates 20% to the creator and 80% to liquidity compounding.

He added that Pools.trade is currently still in Beta, and Uniswap Labs will continue to roll out upgrades and optimizations.
