Hayden Adams is the founder and CEO of Uniswap Labs, the company responsible for the development of the Uniswap Protocol, a leading decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Ethereum blockchain.[1] Adams launched Uniswap in November 2018, after working as a mechanical engineer[2] and being inspired by a blog post written by Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum. His goal was to create a decentralized platform for exchanging tokens without relying on centralized exchanges.
Adams had no prior experience in blockchain technology or software development but taught himself through online resources. His innovative work on Uniswap has played a key role in the growth of decentralized finance (DeFi) by introducing the Automated Market Maker (AMM) model, which allows users to trade cryptocurrencies directly from their wallets.
