Uniswap has introduced Continuous Clearing Auctions (CCA) to help projects bootstrap liquidity on Uniswap v4 and determine market price for new tokens. Aztec Network launched its community-only AZTEC token sale using CCA, prioritizing fair access and community ownership. CCA aims to create transparent, onchain markets with automatic liquidity seeding on Uniswap’s DEX.

CCA sales allow projects to define token quantity, starting price, and auction duration, supporting tranches, verification tools like ZK Passport, and custom modules. Users can place multiple bids with a maximum price and total spend, filling bids automatically based on block clearing prices. Early bidders may benefit from cheaper blocks.

The CCA price discovery mechanism sets the highest price at which tokens were sold in each block, with higher bids filling first. Uniswap’s CCA smart contract is live, with plans for additional modules in the future. Uniswap’s UNI token surged over 38% after proposing a protocol-level fee mechanism to burn UNI tokens, including 100 million from the treasury.
