Uniswap fee switch to go live as community vote set to pass
The highly-anticipated Uniswap "UNIfication" governance proposal is set to pass, having received over 62 million favorable votes, far exceeding the required 40 million threshold. The proposal will activate the protocol fee switch, leading to the burning of 100 million UNI tokens from the Uniswap Foundation’s treasury. It also introduces a Protocol Fee Discount Auctions system to boost liquidity provider returns. These changes aim to improve UNI’s supply-demand dynamics and long-term value. Since voting began, UNI’s price has risen around 25%, trading at $6.08. The proposal received strong support from major crypto figures, with minimal opposition. The Uniswap Foundation assured that protocol development remains a priority and will create a Growth Budget using 20 million UNI tokens.
