Uniswap (UNI), the top decentralized exchange (DEX) by trading volume, has rolled out a new protocol upgrade across multiple chains. The DEX says its new “v4” transforms the protocol into a “developer platform.” “Made possible with the introduction of hooks – contracts that allow anyone to customize how pools, swaps, fees, and LP (liquidity provider) positions interact. Hooks mean unlimited new Features that drive deeper liquidity and more swaps. The lowest cost version of the protocol yet. Pools on v4 are expected to be 99.99% cheaper to create, and swappers can expect significant savings on multi-hop swaps. Plus, native ETH support adds significant savings for ETH pairs.”  Uniswap also says that the upgrade underwent nine audits, a security competition and a $15.5 million bug bounty – none of which unearthed any critical vulnerability. Uniswap v4 is currently live on Ethereum (ETH), Polygon (MATIC), Arbitrum (ARB), Optimism...

The DEX’s decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) voted this week to approve a settlement offer proposal that includes the civil penalty and an agreement to cease and desist from violating various commodity regulations.

In August, Mango DAO members voted to approve a settlement proposal to the SEC, which accused them of violating several clauses in The Securities Acts of 1933 and 1934. If accepted by the SEC, the proposal would include a ...

Trading volatile cryptocurrencies is no easy task, but the dollar-cost averaging (DCA) strategy holds the key to addressing timing challenges and reducing risk. Cryptocurrencies attract a lot of investors due to their high volatility, but this also poses a significant challenge. The most difficult part of investing in crypto is finding the best time to enter the market. Ideally, the plan would be to buy low and sell high, but the extreme volatility makes it impossible to enter at the right time on a regular basis. However, there is a tested strategy that has been used by investors in traditional markets. It’s called dollar -cost averaging (DCA), and it can be applied to crypto assets like Bitcoin (BTC). The main rule of the strategy is to allocate a fixed amount of money at regular intervals, regardless of the current price. Thanks to the DCA approach, investors can mitigate the impact of market volatility. DCA allows them to buy more crypto when prices are low and less when prices ...
