Overview
- The plan would route a share of trading fees and Unichain revenues into an onchain UNI burn mechanism.
- A retroactive burn of 100 million UNI from the treasury is proposed to mirror what might have been burned if fees had been active since launch.
- New Protocol Fee Discount Auctions and v4 hooks aim to internalize MEV and collect fees from external liquidity to support the burn.
- Uniswap Labs would set interface, wallet, and API charges to zero to focus on protocol growth.
- Governance would be overhauled as Labs folds into Foundation ecosystem teams under a five‑member board of Hayden Adams, Devin Walsh, Ken Ng, Callil Capuozzo, and Hart Lambur, alongside a proposed 20 million‑UNI annual growth budget starting in 2026.
