Uniswap Passes UNIfication Proposal with 99.9% Support, Initiating Deflationary Tokenomics
Written by Ohris M. Greyoon, Blockchain & Crypto Expert
- Proposal Approval: Uniswap governance passed the UNIfication proposal with 99.9% support, with over 125 million tokens voting in favor, marking a fundamental shift towards deflationary tokenomics that enhances token scarcity and market appeal.
- Fee Switch Mechanism: The new mechanism redirects a portion of trading fees from liquidity providers to token burns, with an estimated annual burn of 100 million UNI tokens, which is expected to enhance token value by reducing supply and boosting long-term investor confidence.
- Operational Consolidation: The proposal consolidates Uniswap Foundation teams and responsibilities into Uniswap Labs, streamlining operations and removing fees from Labs' interface, wallet, and API services, which is anticipated to improve protocol development efficiency and ecosystem expansion capabilities.
- Market Performance: Uniswap is currently trading at $5.92, up 18.9% over the past week, and has generated over $1.05 billion in fees during 2025, demonstrating significant protocol usage despite broader market challenges, indicating strong future growth potential.
