Seed-deposit requirement for new market listing

Uniswap (v2 + v3)'s assessment for RD-F-071 — scored not_applicable on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Lending-only factor (taxonomy PD-024). No market-listing lifecycle in V2 or V3. Pool creation for both versions is fully permissionless — any address calls factory createPool() (V3) or createPair() (V2) with no seed deposit requirement.

Detail #

Taxonomy §Category 4 PD-024: lending-only. V3 factory (0x1F98431c8aD98523631AE4a59f267346ea31F984): createPool(tokenA, tokenB, fee) is callable by any address with no governance approval and no seed deposit. V2 factory (0x5C69bEe701ef814a2B6a3EDD4B1652CB9cc5aA6f): createPair(tokenA, tokenB) is callable by any address, fully permissionless. Neither version has a borrow-enable lifecycle or market-listing governance process.
