Uniswap Pre-alpha

By late January 2018, all major smart contract issues had been solved. Exchange contracts could support multiple liquidity providers by using an internal liquidity token to track each LP’s share of generated fees and the underlying collateral. A factory contract allowed anyone to add support for a token. All tokens were paired with ETH allowing it to be used as an intermediary for anything-to-anything swaps in a single transaction.
