Stream Finance vs Uniswap

Stream gives users exposure to market-making and delta-neutral strategies through decentralized infrastructure. Users pay up to 10% performance fees, with potential additional share if returns exceed projected APY. The strategies focus on DEX and DeFi-only trades, but when capacity is reached, Stream may partner with major market makers to continue generating yield. Any such positions are announced and shown in the transparency dashboard.

Uniswap V4 rebuilds the protocol as a ‘Singleton’ contract and introduces programmable ‘hooks’ that let pools execute arbitrary logic before and after swaps. The redesign cuts gas costs by 15‑25 % and should open the door for new order types like TWAMMs and on‑chain limit orders. V4 is expected to go live shortly after Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade, when core devs will freeze the code under a Business Source Licence.
