12 hot and cold knowledge of Curve vs Uniswap
🧵
1. Curve is not as complicated as retail investors think, but is complicated by various analysis. (See 9-11 for details)
2. Uniswap is an enterprise, and Curve is a community.
3. Curve is no longer limited to stableswap. Curve V2 can basically do most of the things supported by Uniswap.
4. Uniswap focuses more on individual product or technological breakthroughs, while Curve focuses more on ecological binding.
5. Uniswap V2 is still the first liquidity choice for small projects or meme projects, because it is simple enough.
6. Whether Uniswap V3 is a great innovation or a pile of shit is currently too much debated, but the cost and difficulty for users to manage V3 positions are indeed too high.
7. Curve's stableswap curve can achieve very low slippage within a certain range, but in extreme cases, it will send unanchored assets to zero faster after leaving this range.
8. Convex is the most successful derivative project of Curve in terms of liquidity and innovation. This round of Concentrator and Clever can be regarded as the icing on the cake of Convex, which is not just a timely help.
9. Why is Curve not as complicated as imagined? In simple human terms, the emission of $ CRV is sold to other project parties by Curve, and the exchange is a liquidity service. In order to obtain this service, " Bribery”, and because it is necessary to continue to emit $ CRV for this service to exist, the point of contention is that the value of this service is difficult to quantify, it is a comprehensive value of agreement revenue, emissions, and bribes.
10. Uniswap’s token $ UNI is currently a relatively simple governance token used for community voting. Its potential expected value is that everyone believes that one day the Uniswap community will open the fee income switch, and holders of $ UNI hope to get a share of its huge fee income. However, once part of the fee income is taken away from LPs, it may cause the loss of LPs and lead to a decline in TVL.
11. Personally, I feel that Curve’s so-called threshold problem is not a problem. Even if it is a problem, it is easier to solve. If it is not easy for you to understand every operation link of this flywheel, then holding CRV is just staking to Convex. No need to go to these new protocols, Convex is a product that really lowers the threshold for Curve.
12. The threshold of Uniswap V2 is indeed low enough, and at the same time, it has already taken root in the user group of Impression Streaming. This can be said to be one of the biggest barriers of the UNI product. Without considering factors such as sustainability, it is really Create liquidity in a smooth and unnecessary way, and then write a contract yourself to stimulate liquidity.
