🦄 Uniswap Launches ‘UNIfication’ to Overhaul Governance and Tokenomics Model

Uniswap Labs and the Uniswap Foundation have unveiled UNIfication, a groundbreaking proposal to reshape the decentralized exchange’s structure, governance, and tokenomics. The plan introduces protocol fees, a UNI token burn mechanism, and a new unified leadership board to drive long-term ecosystem growth.

🔑 Key Highlights:

✅ UNIfication unites Uniswap Labs and the Foundation under a five-member leadership board featuring Hayden Adams, Devin Walsh, and others

✅ Activates protocol fees and introduces a UNI burn system linked to trading revenues and Unichain activity

✅ Plans to retroactively burn 100 million UNI tokens from the treasury to reward long-term holders

✅ Launches Protocol Fee Discount Auctions, letting traders bid for reduced fees while boosting burn rates

✅ Future 20 million UNI annual growth budget to fund development and ecosystem expansion from 2026

💡 Why it matters:

UNIfication marks the biggest structural reform since UNI’s 2020 launch, signaling Uniswap’s evolution from a DEX to a self-sustaining on-chain financial protocol. By aligning revenue, governance, and tokenholder incentives, the proposal aims to strengthen UNI’s long-term value and make Uniswap the go-to exchange for tokenized assets.

If approved by the DAO, UNIfication could set a new standard for decentralized governance and DeFi transparency.
