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.
For teams interested in using CCA, we created a set of guidelines to help with configuration docs.uniswap.org/contracts/liqu…
Continuous Clearing Auctions are now live on @arbitrum With this deployment, Arbitrum builders can now: → Run onchain token auctions → Discover a credible market price → Automatically seed liquidity on v4 In a way that's transparent and open to everyone
Auctions are coming to the Uniswap Web App Fully onchain. Powered by CCA. Discover, bid, and claim starting February 2nd
Starting February 2nd, CCAs will automatically be displayed in the Uniswap Web App All live auctions, upcoming auctions, and information on progress for a given auction will appear together in one place
The auction officially runs from February 3rd to February 5th Users can submit pre-bids now and participate at any time until the auction ends Pre-bidding improves the chances of a bid clearing in earlier blocks, which can result in lower average prices app.uniswap.org/explore/auctio…
CCA brings token distributions onchain, allowing anyone to participate For Aztec, that meant 17K+ community members, 99% contributing under $100K, raising $60M together Permissionless protocols → better markets
