Uniswap UNIfication vote shows overwhelming support; would activate protocol fees and retroactively burn 100M UNI
first published 2025-12-22T08:11:10Z
Uniswap’s UNIfication governance proposal passed with over 69M votes (above the 40M threshold). After a mandatory two-day timelock, protocol fees will be activated and an automated mechanism will use trading-fee revenue to buy back and burn UNI. The proposal also removes 100 million UNI from the treasury to account for past unrealized burns, introduces Protocol Fee Discount Auctions for LPs, transfers Uniswap Foundation responsibilities to Uniswap Labs, and establishes a 20M UNI/year growth budget. UNI has rallied over 25% since voting opened and was trading at $6.17 (down 1.3% 24h) at presstime.
