The COO has monitored key operations, including Uniswap’s extension to several blockchains and the Uniswap mobile wallet launch. Also, Lader oversaw the termination of the Securities and Exchange Commission case. Most importantly, she was the president during the Uniswap v4 rollout. She helped transform Uniswap from a developer-centric project into a massive blockchain organization, overseeing internal developments across human resources, customer support, finance, and regulation.
