Sources & citations
Where the ideas, quotes and addresses in these docs come from. Quotes are word for word. If you spot an error, the source wins.
How we cite
- A passage in quotation marks, with a source line under it, is copied word for word from that page or paper. We read each one while writing.
- Everything else is our own explanation, written to be consistent with those sources.
- Numbers in worked examples are computed with the formulas shown (for example the impermanent-loss formula, which reproduces the table in the Uniswap docs) and are only illustrations.
- The original texts belong to their authors. We quote briefly and link to the full source.
