Notable Move by the Uniswap Team
The non-profit Uniswap Foundation and the web3 auditing network Cantina are also supporting the effort. The $2.35 million prize pool is said to be the largest in DeFi history. The prize will fund independent reviews of Uniswap v4’s smart contracts and the new Universal Router system that enables swaps between ERC-20 tokens and NFTs.
Details on the Security Contest
Audit contests are a common way for teams to discover and fix code vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers. This is an important process in the cryptocurrency world, especially since smart contracts cannot be updated once launched. The security contest will start on September 4 and continue until the end of the month.
Features and Innovations of Uniswap v4
Uniswap v4 will introduce various new capabilities, such as setting dynamic fees in liquidity pools, on-chain limit orders, and custom oracles. Unlike previous versions, v4 aims to reduce transaction costs by consolidating all liquidity pools into a single contract, freeing users and liquidity providers from fees. The v4 code will be released under a four-year Business Source License, limiting what others can do with the code.
Uniswap Labs has launched an ambitious security contest for their new Uniswap v4 release, aiming to make this version the most audited and secure in DeFi project history.
