Discover, Research, Swap: Uniswap’s All New Explore Tab

AI summary of the linked article

Uniswap's web app now has a new Explore tab with updated Token Detail Pages and new Pool Detail Pages, letting users research tokens and pools and swap without leaving the page. The pages provide price charts, transaction logs, liquidity data and other analytics for tokens and pools on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism, Base, Avalanche and Binance Smart Chain. Token pages include real-time price and TVL plots, line and candlestick charts, and project information, while pool pages show volume, fees generated and pool age. Users can swap, buy, send or place a limit order directly from these pages. The Explore tab is rolling out on the Uniswap web app starting today.

I feel like this is a bigger deal than it seems on the surface! An "Explore" page seems pretty obvious for an exchange, and yet Uniswap hasn't implemented it before. Why? I wonder if that was done to avoid being seen as offering specific tokens to the public by the regulators. If that's no longer a concern, is there some regulatory change they're expecting and positioning themselves for?

I think you're right. This move goes in sync with Uniswap Foundation moving forward with the idea of dividend sharing with $UNI token holders: https://news.kiwistand.com/stories?index=0x65d8bb8a97329977f374807652590c379d81f646041ce319b3b17962a4c5bc00a94292cf

Maybe they have some insight via a16z (their largest investor), which does a lot of lobbying in the DC?

Mhh, I'd say the reason why Uniswap is lately capitalizing on more tightly integrating the user experience is also because of the fee switch. If you control the website, you control the fee flow. Remember that post from Micah Zoltu recently that stated that Uniswap lawyers sued him for hosting an alternative frontend. Those actions seem to square. They also launched uni.eth nicknames.
