I think Uniswap v3 will grow faster than centralized exchanges using limit order books, due to the Range Order mechanism providing better results. I think Stephen disagrees? So let's try to metricize this. This market resolves to the ratio of growth in percentage points in "24h Volume Normalized" by the market close date, between Uniswap v3 and FTX. Based on what https://www.coingecko.com/en/exchanges lists. Uniswap v3 today: $944,210,447 FTX today: $1,793,481,959 Eg if Uniswap v3 grows 20% and FTX grows 10%, this market would resolve to 20:10 = 2:1 = 66%.

I lost money on this market, but I think it's mostly due to FTX volume having a higher beta to crypto rather than Uniswap gaining ground per se. If crypto prices hadn't crashed, I suspect I would have won.

Future markets should be conditioned on price, "Assuming bitcoin doesn't fall by more than 5% from its current value...".

predicted YES

@SG Hm, I'm not sure -- I think even when crypto crashes there should be some meaningful signal about whether traders are choosing Uniswap v3 vs orderbooks, so I think relative growth looks okay.

Happy to do another bet (probably a challenge bet this time, since those hadn't existed at the time when we first laid down our claims!) Something like "Will Uniswap's v3's percentage growth in market cap be larger than FTX's (or some other index)"?

predicted YES

As of right now, FTX is $624,697,359, Uniswap v3 is at $581,301,932.

Uniswap v3 shrank (944,210,447 - 581,301,932) / 944,210,447 = 0.38435

FTX shrank (1,793,481,959 - 624,697,359) / 1,793,481,959 = 0.65168

0.65168 / (0.65168 + 0.38435) = 0.629 or 63%.

If nobody finds any issues with this math, I'll resolve to 63% in a day or so.

I think on net, this was slightly more evidence for my position than Stephen's; though it's hard to tell. Binance, for example, dropped to 7,777,846,697

(10,046,919,963 - 7,777,846,697)/10,046,919,963 = 0.22585, aka did better than Uniswap v3

2 hours before close, FTX is at $614,743,273 and Uniswap v3 at $537,321,451. So seems like FTX shrank about 65% and Uniswap shrank about 43%. So I estimate it should resolve to about 60%

predicted YES

Checking in on this: Awkwardly, FTX has declined to $1,378,922,139, while Uniswap v3 has increased to $1,010,316,199. If I were to resolve this now, I'd resolve it to 100% in Uniswap's favor.

I think if one grows while the other shrinks, I'd resolve to 100% or 0%; otherwise, I'd compare the relative amount of growth/shrinkage to arrive at a percentage.

predicted YES
80% we can simulate Maniswap just using v3: https://www.paradigm.xyz/2021/06/uniswap-v3-the-universal-amm
predicted YES
Yeah I kinda maybe should have picked Binance instead lol. Ideally there's some index off "order book exchanges" - maybe if Serum is listed?
predicted YES
For posterity, Binance is at $10,046,919,963 today

Not sure if this question framing actually gets at my core belief, which is that Uniswap v3 Range Orders are the best way to allow people to provide liquidity/express beliefs. But it's a reasonable try, IMO
