We study the optimal liquidation of a large position on Uniswap v2 and Uniswap v3 in discrete time. The instantaneous price impact is derived from the AMM pricing rule. Transient impact is modeled to capture either exponential or approximately power-law decay, together with a permanent component. In the Uniswap v2 setting, we obtain optimal strategies in closed-form under general price dynamics. For Uniswap v3, we consider a two-layer liquidity framework, which naturally extends to multiple layers. We address the problem using dynamic programming under geometric Brownian motion dynamics and approximate the solution numerically using a discretization scheme. We obtain optimal strategies akin to classical ones in the LOB literature, with features specific to Uniswap. In particular, we show how the liquidity profile influences them.
