Uniswap

What is the original protocol that Uniswap was a fork of again?

uniswap was the original, sushiswap yamswap and all the other foodswaps were the clones

It was Bancor! They invented the AMM... I knew Uniswap wasn't first, just couldn't remember who it was lol.

Bancor's AMM was overly complicated though, they had stacks of integral tables baked directly into their contract. Uniswap was the first x*y=k AMM, which was way simpler and made fees way lower.

Also the factory letting anyone deploy an exchange, and being bound to ETH rather than the Bancor token was a huge win.

Not really a fork.
