Uniswap V3 Development Book

This book will teach how to develop an advanced decentralized application! Specifically, we'll be building a clone of Uniswap V3, which is a decentralized exchange.

Why Uniswap?

• It implements a very simple mathematical concept, x * y = k, which still makes it very powerful.
• It's an advanced application that has a thick layer of engineering on top of the simple formula.
• It's permissionless and battle-tested. Learning from an application that's been running in production for several years and handling billions of dollars will make you a better developer.

What we'll build

We'll build a full clone of Uniswap V3. It won't be an exact copy and it won't be production-ready because we'll do something in our own way and we'll definitely introduce multiple bugs. So, don't deploy this to the mainnet!

While our focus will primarily be on smart contracts, we'll also build a front-end application as a side hustle. 🙂 I'm not a front-end developer and I cannot make a front-end application better than you, but I can show you how a decentralized exchange can be integrated into a front-end application.

The full code of what we'll build is stored in a separate repository:

Running locally

To run the book locally:

1. Install Hugo.
2. Clone the repo:

   $ git clone https://github.com/Jeiwan/uniswapv3-book
   $ cd uniswapv3-book

3. Run:

   $ hugo server -D

4. Visit http://localhost:1313/ (or whatever URL the previous command outputs!)

TODO

1. Fix the padding before
2. Milestone 2, Tick Bitmap Index: what happens when there are no ticks? Will it keep looping until it reaches max/min tick?
3. Milestone 3: liquidity management
4. Somewhere: clarify that sqrtP has better precision than ticks and that current price is never computed from current tick.
5. Where to start for complete Uniswap beginners
6. Add dark mode (with images)
7. Make a PDF
8. Improve the formula in "The Mathematics of Uniswap V3"
9. Ideas for Extras:
   1. Tick math implementation. Explanation of the math in TickMath contract.
   2. Breakdown of the alpha-router: https://github.com/Uniswap/swap-router-contracts
