The web is the only credibly neutral platform humanity has. If you get rid of the web then all software that humans interact with will be controlled by one of a small handful of giant corporations which I think I can speak for nearly everyo

A website costs a few bucks a month to run and the files should be distributed via BitTorrent anyway. This service could be funded by any single individual.

I'm not. One of the points is that I don't have to as TokenLists provides a distributed way of curating legitimate tokens which means you can choose who you personally trust to determine what is legitimate.

It's important to note that this paper is discussing listings and not transactions/volume. Almost no one used or bought these tokens and 99% of Uniswap's volume is normal safe things like ETH, DAI, etc. If 98% of Uniswap trad

This paper is discussing listings and not volume. No one is claiming these tokens had any amount of meaningful volume and most likely weren't even traded by a real user. If 97% of Uniswap's volume was fraudulent then I wouldn&#x27

This misconception is exactly why I made my comment. If you go to Uniswap right now you won't have access to any of these tokens. You are just about as safe as using Charles Schwab.

The paper does not analyze the transactions directly unless I'm missing that piece. There are a number of reasons accounts would interact with the scam tokens such as the scamming group filling up the liquidity pool, creating fake volu

It's accurate in the sense that "97% of email is scams and phishing" which is a neat fact but doesn't indict email as a failure. Email and Uniswap are both useful tools that are safe to use for even non-technical users.

Misconceptions like yours are why the title is misleading. If you go to Uniswap right now you will not see any of these tokens and have a near 0% chance of being scammed.

If you go to Uniswap right now you won't see any of these tokens. You run no risk of getting scammed by using Uniswap unless you go out of your way and manually add them.

Why would I dispute it? At best the title is misleading though as most readers likely aren't aware of how Uniswap works and will think "97% of the tokens are scams so Uniswap is unsafe to use" which isn't true in the sli

As of this writing it is $2.39 to perform a swap on Ethereum Uniswap which isn't great but not too bad when compared to something like Coinbase. On L2s it's around 10 cents which I think most people would agree is acceptable. Fees

It's important to note that Uniswap is decentralized and anyone can "list" anything for trading without asking anyone or going through any process. This means there are thousands of tokens, probably millions in the future, av

The outcome is really the only thing that matters in a practical sense. The EU might have good intentions but they've likely been a net negative to the web as a whole.

Can you elaborate on how it doesn't? It ticks all of the boxes from your message. Only the top level namespaces require a purchase. Names for services (e.g. james.mastadon.eth) are free. A live example of this is Coinbase which gives u

This is not really how smart contracts work. Cardano uses UTXOs for example and is having big problems due to the fundamental limited scalability of UTXO systems as only one account can interact with a certain contract per block as the UTXO
