Uniswap Proposes Sweeping ‘UNIfication’ With UNI Burn and Protocol Fee Overhaul

UNIfication would burn 100 million UNI tokens, activate protocol fees, and consolidate ecosystem teams under a unified growth strategy led by a new five-member board.

  • On November 11, Uniswap Labs and the Uniswap Foundation unveiled the UNIfication proposal to align incentives across the ecosystem and seek DAO members' approval.
  • Uniswap Labs announced it will absorb the Uniswap Foundation's ecosystem teams, pivoting strategy away from monetizing products to focus exclusively on protocol growth amid broader governance changes.
  • Mechanically, the proposal would activate protocol fees and redirect a portion of trading fees and Unichain revenues to a UNI burn mechanism, including a retroactive burn of 100,000,000 UNI and Protocol Fee Discount Auctions to internalize MEV.
  • A five-member board featuring co-founders Hayden Adams, Devin Walsh and Ken Ng, joined by Callil Capuozzo and Hart Lambur, would oversee the new structure, marking Uniswap's most significant governance evolution since 2020.
  • The proposal would create a 20,000,000 UNI annual growth budget, set fees on key front-end products to zero, and evolve Uniswap v4 into an onchain aggregator with hooks.
