Uniswap v2 Updates and Enhancements
Uniswap has announced several updates for v2, including enhanced security measures, availability on six new chains, cheaper deployment for new pools, lower gas costs for adding liquidity, and additional gas savings for swaps. Users can now enjoy secure and cost-effective swapping, as well as reduced risks of MEV on layer 2 solutions.
Security for v2 swaps 🔒 In the last year, over $55 million has been lost in v2 fork exploits, bugs, and rugs An official v2 deployment available through the Uniswap interface provides a secure, safe place to swap
Users can now swap and LP with v2 on six new chains directly through the interface ✨ blog.uniswap.org/uniswap-v2-now…
Cheaper to deploy new pools 🤝 Pools are also more gas efficient to create on v2 And gas costs for adding liquidity are much lower
Savings on swaps ⛽️ Users already save on gas when swapping with v3 on non-Ethereum chains v2 allows for even more gas savings — making swaps incredibly low cost Plus, users benefit from almost no MEV on L2s — helpful for swapping longtail assets (which are prone to MEV)

Key points: - Arbitrum is the first L2 to cross $200B in swap volume on Uniswap - Monthly L2 volume on Uniswap has nearly tripled since last year - This milestone was anticipated, with predictions made in late September This development underscores the increasing importance of L2 solutions in addressing Ethereum's scalability challenges and reducing transaction costs for users.
ERC-7683: Addressing Fragmentation in Intents-Based Systems
Intents-based systems in the blockchain space face fragmentation issues, with each system operating its own set of fillers without a unified cross-chain standard. To address this challenge: - A collaboration with Across Protocol has been initiated - ERC-7683, a new standard, has been proposed - The goal is to create a universal filler network - This aims to solve the fragmentation problem across different blockchain systems The proposed standard could potentially streamline operations and improve interoperability in the decentralized finance ecosystem.
