Devin Walsh, the Executive Director of the Uniswap Foundation, believes that the Uniswap decentralized exchange (DEX) is becoming more decentralized. He compares its current state to that of Ethereum and acknowledges the active participation of the developer community in its success. This response comes after Antonio Juliano, the founder of dYxX, insinuated that Uniswap is now centralized, although it started on a decentralized path.Juliano argues that centralization allows for quicker iteration and revenue boost, while decentralization enables users to fully benefit from decentralized finance (DeFi). The decentralization of protocols on public ledgers like Ethereum or Cardano is crucial, and the community assesses a dapp’s decentralization by examining decision-making processes and development leadership.Walsh points out that the Ethereum community has taken over development from its co-founder Vitalik Buterin and Consensys, ensuring the network’s security and robustness for dapps. Uniswap is one of the most popular DEXes on Ethereum, managing over $3 billion of assets and facilitating trustless swapping on layer-2 platforms and public ledgers like the BNB Chain.While Uniswap Labs currently leads the development of Uniswap, Walsh notes that more developers are contributing solutions, especially in preparation for the launch of Hooks in v4. Hooks will make the protocol more customizable, acting as a plugin. However, concerns have been raised that Hooks could be used to censor liquidity providers or traders who do not adhere to know-your-customer rules.The release of the Cancun upgrade on Ethereum will play a role in the deployment of the latest iteration, but no specific timeline has been provided. UNI prices remain under pressure and may register new lows.
