Uniswap published a detailed case study on how Aztec successfully used Continuous Clearing Auctions (CCA) to conduct a community-driven token distribution.​

Key outcomes from Aztec's auction:

  • Over 17,000 community members participated
  • 99% of participants contributed under $100K
  • Raised $60M total through transparent, onchain process

CCA is now live on both Base and Arbitrum, offering builders a permissionless way to:

  • Run fully onchain token auctions
  • Discover credible market prices
  • Automatically bootstrap liquidity on Uniswap v4

The protocol is free to use and accessible through the Uniswap Web App, where users can discover auctions, place bids, and claim tokens directly from the interface.​

Guess who got a new look? 👀 Huddlepad just had a glow-up! The mission remains the same: fair, community-first token launches on @arbitrum. That's exactly why Huddlepad's mechanism is powered by @uniswap's CCA. 👉 Check it out: huddlepad.xyz

Any team can start building on top of CCA @ArrakisFinance is doing just that, bringing automated liquidity management to projects post-auction

Uniswap CCA is one of the best ways to distribute a token. Fair price discovery, broad distribution, automatic liquidity seeding into Uniswap v4. CCA is phase one. How that liquidity is managed afterward determines long-term market quality. We're supporting @Uniswap CCA auctions
