Uniswap News Today: Uniswap’s UNIfication Brings Ecosystem Incentives Together for a Lasting DeFi Landscape
- Uniswap proposes "UNIfication" to overhaul tokenomics, governance, and position itself as the default tokenized asset platform. - The plan includes burning 100M UNI tokens, activating protocol fees, and introducing fee discount auctions to boost token value. - Governance consolidation under Uniswap Labs aims to streamline operations while avoiding SEC scrutiny by dissolving the nonprofit foundation. - Market analysts highlight potential price stability and ecosystem alignment, though major stakeholders l
Uniswap, a top decentralized exchange (DEX), has introduced a major governance initiative called "UNIfication." This plan seeks to revamp both its tokenomics and governance framework, aiming to establish Uniswap as the primary hub for tokenized assets. Announced on November 10, 2025, the proposal features the activation of protocol fees, a large-scale burn of
The plan includes a retroactive burn of 100 million UNI tokens from the treasury—matching what would have been destroyed if protocol fees had been in place since Uniswap’s launch. Furthermore, a share of trading fees from both the mainnet and Unichain, Uniswap’s layer-2 network, will go toward a UNI burning mechanism. The team also revealed Protocol Fee Discount Auctions (PFDA), where traders can compete for fee reductions, further increasing the burn rate by capturing maximal extractable value (MEV)
The governance update also tackles regulatory issues. Shutting down the Uniswap Foundation fits with broader DeFi strategies to avoid SEC scrutiny, as the agency has increasingly labeled decentralized projects as centralized. By merging operations under Uniswap Labs, the team hopes to simplify governance while keeping a nonprofit orientation
Analysts note that this proposal could help stabilize UNI’s value and boost its usefulness. “The UNIfication initiative aligns interests among users, liquidity providers, and holders, paving the way for a more resilient system,” commented a DeFi expert. Still, there are hurdles, such as resistance from major investors like a16z, who have previously opposed similar fee-sharing plans.
The proposal is now pending a vote by Uniswap’s decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). If it passes, it could reshape the DEX’s influence in the crypto space, leveraging its 6.1% share of total DEX trading volume to further strengthen its leadership
