How is the Uniswap LP UI/UX experience? one ️⃣ timeline The day before yesterday (10.24), I added PING/ETH LP on Uniswap and the experience was so poor that it crashed. Uniswap released a new version of LP UI yesterday (10.25). I tweeted roast, but the Uniswap team came to reply, only to know that the new version was ready in August, and only yesterday it was fully launched. Anyway, the new UI experience has indeed improved. good deed. two ️⃣ The biggest problem with the original version Why is the original UI said to be crashing? The core lies in choosing a price range, especially for MEME coins. When you can only manually click on the plus or minus sign to select different price ranges (centralized liquidity market making), I believe many people will be at a loss and do not know how to set specific values. Even you may not know which of Min Price and Max Price should be larger or smaller. Every time a new coin is launched, there are always people who are violently arbitrage by bots due to adding the wrong price range. I believe that the poor UI of the original version should also be held responsible. three ️⃣ The biggest improvement of the new version Four different 'price strategies' have been pre-set. Users will not be at a loss, simply click on the "Wide" strategy and immediately get a calculated price range. Then you can make minor adjustments based on this foundation. With a reference, there is naturally more scope in my mind. four ️⃣ What are the remaining shortcomings 1. The current price chart is not easy to understand Putting current liquidity, price trends, and price range indicators in one table is too messy 2. The four options of Price Strategies are not intuitive Simply put, these four strategies can be divided into two categories: A、 Different price ranges B、 Unilateral liquidity However, you need to put in a lot of effort to understand the specific meanings represented by these four options, as well as when you should choose the corresponding strategy 3. Price driven rather than percentage driven This is the biggest problem. The so-called price driven refers to the default display of specific Min Price and Max Price (such as 40932~120501), while percentage driven is similar to -45%~+61%. Believe me, unless you are making a market for ETH, WBTC, or other targets that are very familiar with daily prices, giving you a MEME coin, whether it shows 40000 or 400000, will not give you any concept of what this price represents. Easter egg: In order to write this content, I just tested and found out that you can switch by clicking on the percentage value below Price, so you can directly modify the percentage value. On the other hand, Meteora always prioritizes percentages, and you don't need to know the current price at all. After all, isn't the essence of concentrated liquidity to make markets within a certain percentage range of the current plus point? 4. What else is missing If someone has used Meteora DLMM, they will praise their three major strategies: Spot, Curve, and Bid Ask. These three different strategies are three completely different ways of deploying liquidity. DLMM allows you to deploy non equal amounts of liquidity on different price Bin/Ticks. But the four Price Strategies provided by Uniswap actually correspond to DLMM's Spot strategy, which belongs to the flat liquidity approach. five ️⃣ What is the difference between Uniswap and Meteora If I were to say that Uniswap's LP market making experience is still ten Pancake Swaps behind Meteora, I don't think LP users would have much objection. I think the core lies in: Uniswap focuses on ordinary trading users, while Meteora places all its emphasis on LP market making users. The Uniswap team designs products from the perspective of engineers, from UI, terminology to actual user experience, very much like Microsoft; Meteora is more Apple oriented, designing products from the perspective of actual (LP) users, hiding technical details, and prioritizing user needs and experience. So I said that Uniswap's engineers/product managers responsible for LP pages may not have much liquidity themselves, and the products they produce are naturally far from the actual needs of ordinary users. Exquisite, but useless. six ️⃣ The advantages of Uniswap The advantages at the end are not my favoritism, but rather what amazed me. The day before yesterday, I just casually roast that I didn't even have an official at their Uniswap, because in my impression, how could such a large project have time to interact with you, let alone change. Besides, you also speak Chinese. But Uniswap really has someone responding. Think about how many posts and strategies I have written before, both in Chinese and English, but the official Meteora account has never replied or even liked. Not even once. Uniswap is doing great! Wait a minute, do you think it is possible that Uniswap Labs is too rich and has recruited too many people, so that random roast in Chinese are "just" seen. Overall, I hope Uniswap continues to improve. The above. P.S. Sorry for the Chinese, guys. @plondon514 @xin__wan
