<aside> 💡 At Merkl we value a lot the ability to understand rapidly complex technical stacks and protocols and how to take advantage of their features to build incentivization schemes around.

Context

Uniswap V4 will be released shortly. Your task will be to build an indexing engine to store data related to Uniswap V4 in a relational database and to think of how this data can be used to serve the needs of DeFi and build an incentivization mechanism.

Deliverable

Here, we don't expect any working code but more the logic of how your indexing engine, your relational database and your incentivization system would look like here.

Specifically, we’d like you to:

• Be able to explain what Uniswap V4 is, the main differences with V3 and how it globally works
• Build a prisma scheme (https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/prisma-schema) that will represent the database you’ll want to build to have all the data you need for your incentivization engine
• Come up with a formula to build an incentivization system for LPs
• Build a detailled roadmap explaining how you’ll technically build this, timeframes and the overall architecture

What matters to us is to have a sense of your ability to quickly dig into technical concepts (Uniswap V2, Uniswap V4, Automated Liquidity Managers, offchain versus onchain, prisma), and your ability to organise a complex task into a roadmap.

As a deliverable, we're expecting a detailed roadmap, along with a prisma scheme of what your database will look like.

Timeline

Whenever you are ready, please send us the document and depending on the quality of the result, we'll invite you to a second technical interview.
