DAOn the Rabbit Hole

In this episode of DAOn the Rabbit Hole, we’re talking to Sara Reynolds, an integrations developer at Uniswap — the leading decentralized finance protocol.

Sara talks about joining the crypto world straight after high school and her experiences with blockchain at Berkeley. She dives into the basics of Uniswap and how it works, as well as what a decentralized exchange is and how it differs from a centralized exchange.

We talk about the permissionless nature of decentralized exchanges, the concept of providing liquidity, and the various versions of Uniswap and how they differ from one another. Sara also shares some of the challenges facing decentralized exchanges.

Sara explains what L2s are, the problems they solve, and how this relates to Uniswap. She also talks about airdrops and what they mean for the crypto space. We discuss the concept of shared ownership, community in crypto, and the Uniswap grants program. We finish by talking about She256 — a project aimed at making the crypto space more diverse and inclusive for everyone.
