#UNI There are red envelopes under the post!
Attention everyone! The ballast stone of the DeFi track, Uniswap (UNI), has just released the strongest bomb of 2026 - the UNIfication core proposal vote has reached the passing threshold, and after the vote ends on December 26, it will be officially implemented, triggering five major certainties at once, directly reconstructing the value logic of UNI!
As the traffic king in the DeFi field, Uniswap has previously occupied half of the DEX market, but the issue of token value capture has always been a pain point for the community. The proposal landing in 2026 is a targeted completion of shortcomings, with each point addressing the core needs of investors:
First is the deflationary bomb detonation: not only will 100 million UNI (15% of the total supply, currently valued at about $940 million) be burned at once, directly tightening the circulation; but it will also activate the protocol fee switch, with all transaction fees from v2/v3 and the Unichain sorter being used for UNI repurchase and destruction. Based on current transaction volumes, the annual burn scale could reach the equivalent of $130 million in tokens, which is equivalent to equipping UNI with an 'automatic deflation engine,' fully supporting long-term value!
Secondly, the ecological empowerment is being strengthened: starting from 2026, 20 million UNI will be allocated annually as an ecological budget, specifically supporting Labs development and expanding the developer ecosystem on a quarterly basis. It is worth noting that previously, Uniswap had activated v4 and the Unichain ecosystem with a $165.5 million grant, and with the addition of an annual budget, it will further consolidate its technological barriers in the AMM track, attracting more developers to participate in the development of innovative features such as hook protocols, fundamentally enhancing the protocol's competitiveness.
More critically, governance and revenue optimization: Uniswap Labs and the foundation will merge into a unified legal framework, bidding farewell to past governance friction and shifting to efficient execution orientation; at the same time, MEV revenue and protocol fee discount auctions (PFDA) will be integrated into the burning/incentive system, both enhancing the actual returns for LPs and reducing value loss, allowing UNI holders to directly enjoy the dividends of ecological growth.
The market has already voted with its feet - during the proposal voting period, the price of UNI has risen against the trend by 25%, and funds are pouring in crazily to position themselves for this wave of certainty. It is important to know that in the current fierce competition in DeFi, competitors are spending $50 million every month to compete for liquidity, while UNI, through a combination of 'burning + fee capture + ecological subsidies', not only can maintain its market share but also attract institutional funds for long-term allocation with its deflationary model.
From the timeline perspective, after the voting ends on December 26, it will only take 2 days to lock in the fee switch and the burn contract can be activated, and we will see the mechanism take effect within this week; starting from Q1 2026, the quarterly ecological budget distribution will become normalized, and the entire value closed loop will gradually take shape.
For investors, this wave of good news is not a castle in the air, but already locked-in actions - the deflationary model solves the value capture problem, the ecological budget ensures long-term competitiveness, and governance integration enhances execution efficiency. These three pillars jointly support the logic of UNI's rise in 2026.
💬 Finally, I want to ask: Do you think this 15% burn + deflationary mechanism can bring UNI back to its historical high in 2026? Have you already positioned yourself or are you preparing to jump in during the pullback? Feel free to share your views in the comments!
