SushiSwap Takes On Uniswap: Which Should Win and Why? - Ep.141

Nadav Hollander, cofounder and CEO of Dharma, discusses the war currently being waged between Uniswap and SushiSwap, how this is driving up fees on Ethereum, and how Dharma's product can get around them. In this episode we discuss:

why he conceptually supports SushiSwap and fair launch coins

whether or not fair launch coins really are fair

why SushiSwap makes him nervous

why the battle between SushiSwap and Uniswap is a so-called "vampire attack," which is actually driving up the total value locked on Uniswap 

how the SushiSwap yield farming works

whether or not Uniswap will release Uniswap v3 in time to compete with SushiSwap

whether he thinks Uniswap or SushiSwap will win

what factors matter when it comes to which will win out between two nearly identical protocols

how Dharma's product enables users to yield farm without paying the high gas fees on Ethereum, but what fee users will pay instead
