as I understand it, all the main kinds of Coins (clankers, flaunches, zoins) monetize in the modal case by distributing fees from Uniswap. even if 99% go to zero in the long run, the creator earns something from fees, and in very rare cases earns a lot. but this means Coins have an implicit dependency on Uniswap market dominance! this seems like a very safe bet. (I don't even know what Uniswap market share is on Base, but I'm sure it's high). but it's interesting to consider how the dynamics might change if Uniswap had 10% or 90% market share instead, and Coin trading was not as highly concentrated. (not trying to FUD Coins or Uniswap, but I think this is an interesting interdependency)

Aerodrome actually has basically the same market share on Base as Uniswap but it’s mostly in more stable assets (eth/stablecoins/defi coins/etc) where uniswap has a lot of the more emergent assets market share Mainly bc their frontend is great and @aerodrome’s front end and mobile experience need a major facelift both innovating and great projects what are you implying by the dependency on uniswap?

For a while Aerodrome was leading volumes on Base over Uniswap. Im not sure how much that still is the case. But many of the launchpads build on Uni because they have better dev tooling

Uni v4 basically lets people spin up new custom logic AMMs without having to bootstrap liquidity — Uniswap is liquidity as a service They aren't some cartoon villain, they just built a really good product so other people are using it.

I’m not quite understanding the dependency and importance of uniswap’s dominance. I get that many of these tokens are deployed to uni v3, but an aggregator would likely pick it up even if deployed to a different pool.

Makes me wonder what happens if someone makes a better meme friendly DEX. Would Coins migrate?
