I recently gave a presentation about decentralized exchanges (DEXs) to Truffle University's first cohort of (intermediate-level) Ethereum smart contract engineers. The 45-minute segment covers:

  • Why should we care about decentralized exchanges (as traders or as developers)?
  • What makes an exchange 'decentralized'?
  • How does Uniswap work under the hood?
  • A walkthrough of a simple code sample to use Uniswap's contract interfaces
  • A demo of my 'decentralized finance' tool: Vulcan Swap
