Final heads up–the temp check for the FVM deployment ends in ~1 day. Please place your vote here: https://snapshot.org/#/uniswap/proposal/0x36a17f6c311f3d910bc11cb4cd55891a7e6c71facd04e7bffcfb267fdd88c45b
Good question. Much of what occurs on the FVM will be facilitated by Axelar. The cross-chain messaging will be conducted by Axelar, as per the RFC. This also abides by the recent approval Axelar received by the bridge assessment committee. Beyond gov message passing, other interactions between dapps and chains will also utilize Axelar. Here’s one example–sending txns from the FVM to other chains is slow, but this issue can be effectively addressed via Axelar’s GMP Express, which helps speed up the txn finality.
Thanks for your question. As stated in the RFC, the main benefit that Uniswap will attain from this deployment is access to the growing data economy building on the FVM. Filecoin/IPFS is the leading decentralized data storage provider, involved in providing storage services for numerous projects across a multitude of chains. The purpose of the FVM is to allow for better interaction with the data as well as providing users of Filecoin with dapps to interact with. One stated example was enabling swapping for service providers, where they can easily use Uniswap v3 to swap between their $FIL attained from service provision to stable USDC. As more and more dapps are launched on the FVM, and as data usage grows on Filecoin, there will need to be a place for users to swap their assets. It’s an integral function of any ecosystem–and we hope that this deployment meets that need.
