Uniswap Labs Launches Auction Creation Directly in the Uniswap Web App
Uniswap Labs today announced that teams can now configure and launch Uniswap Auctions directly from the Uniswap Web App, making it easier to run transparent, permissionless token distributions without manually deploying smart contracts.
Uniswap Auctions are powered by Continuous Clearing Auctions, or CCA, Uniswap’s liquidity bootstrapping and token distribution protocol. CCA is designed to help teams distribute supply, discover a market-clearing price, and seed liquidity on Uniswap v4 through a fully onchain process.
The new launch flow gives teams a self-serve interface to create an auction with an existing token or create a new token, configure auction parameters, and set up post-auction liquidity in one place. Once launched, auctions are accessible through the Auctions tab in the Uniswap Web App.
CCA has already been used by teams including Aztec and Cap to run permissionless, onchain token distributions. In November 2025, Aztec ran the first token distribution using CCA, raising $59 million from more than 17,000 bidders. A review of onchain data showed no clear instances of sniping or automated manipulation, demonstrating how CCA can support broad participation while reducing the role of speed-based bidding advantages.
