Uniswap V1 to V3, a table

The V2 to V3 jump in Uniswap has opened up liquidity providers to more choices. These choices in turn create opportunities for active strategy managers.

Projects like Visor, Charm, Lixir and others are looking to manage liquidity on behalf of users, hoping to retain the ergonomics of V1 and V2 while taking advantage of the profitability of V3.

In this article, we look at Uniswap development from V1 to V3 with an eye towards highlighting the additional flexibility offered to users.
