A conversation with Austin Adams about his journey from Uniswap Labs to building token liquidity solutions on Uniswap v4, and his vision for the future of capital formation in DeFi. First of all, I have to ask: are you Hayden Adams' brother? Sadly, no. So how did you get into crypto, without the nepotism? I was really interested in Ethereum mining around 2016. I thought it was really cool that I could run a thing in my basement that took part in this global network and gave me money. I w...
