    Introducing the TheShortSTOry Botcast

    I was having a bit of a hiatus, but I think I've quite a decent excuse, because I was extremely busy. Apart from my other project I was working on the Bancor release v2.1 where I was retained to write the economic analysis paper. This was actually very exciting, and I _will_ make a podcast or two about it I promise. More exciting however is my new **Botcast** project which I believe is a world first: all TheShortSTOry podcasts will be available via a Telegram chatbot. This bot is, not unsurprisingly, called @TheShortSTOrybot. Go check it out! 1. https://t.me/TheShortSTOrybot 2. https://blog.bancor.network/proposing-bancor-v2-1-single-sided-amm-with-elastic-bnt-supply-bcac9fe655b 3. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1en044m2wchn85aQBcoVx2elmxEYd5kEA/view

    Uniswap Papers ep. 2: The Reckoning

    Today we will be discussing the second part of the Uniswap paper [1]. If you found yesterday's episode a bit dry, worry not. This one is more fun and economics, the mathematics stuff is mostly over. We are now moving on to the economics implications, and those are very interesting. Also honorable mentions of Sushiswap [3]. 1. https://theshortstory-podcast.com/papers/202009-uniswap-multipool/#part2 2. https://theshortstory-podcast.com/papers/202009-uniswap-formulas/ 3. https://thedefiant.substack.com/p/sushiswaps-vampire-scheme-hours-away

    The Uniswap papers

    I am currently working quite heavily on formalising my understanding of Uniswap and Uniswap-style pools like the infamous Sushiswap pool that provided a fair amount of drama over the weekend. So instead of a news podcast today a short podcast on those two papers. The first one is simply a collection of important formulas [1], and the second one is a series of charts showing how Uniswap pools prices change with the volume [2]. 1. https://theshortstory-podcast.com/papers/202009-uniswap-formulas/ 2. https://theshortstory-podcast.com/papers/202009-uniswap-multipool/
