Uniswap brings token launch auctions and price discovery to Base

CCA runs fully on-chain auctions that clear bids block by block for gradual price discovery. After auctions end, liquidity is automatically added to a Uniswap v4 pool at the final cleared price. The model aims to reduce sniping, front-running, and bundled transactions during token launches. Uniswap has rolled out its Continuous Clearing Auctions (CCA) feature on Base, giving developers a new way to launch tokens fully on-chain with built-in price discovery and automatic liquidity setup. The decentralised exchange confirmed the rollout on Jan. 22, with the CCA framework now available to builders using Uniswap v4 on the Base network. The update expands Uniswap’s structured token launch tools to one of the busiest Ethereum layer-2 ecosystems, offering teams a single workflow for auctions, pricing, and liquidity. With CCA now live for Base developers, projects can run token sales that settle gradually over time rather than relying on one-time listings or fixed-price launches that can trigger sharp price swings. What CCA does on Base CCA allows teams to run fully on-chain token auctions where tokens are sold gradually instead of all at once. The mechanism clears bids block by block, which helps prices form naturally before open trading begins. Once the auction ends, liquidity is added automatically to a Uniswap v4 pool at the final cleared price. This reduces the need for teams to manually create a pool after launch and aims to avoid common listing issues linked to sudden volatility at the start of trading. Developers can also adjust auction settings to fit their launch requirements while keeping the entire process on-chain and transparent. How auctions reduce launch risks The model is designed to create a fairer starting point for new tokens by spreading distribution over time. Rather than concentrating activity into a single launch moment, CCA introduces a phased selling…
