Uniswap Vote Clears Quorum, Paving Way for Fee Switch and 100M UNI Burn

A two-day timelock now precedes activation after an overwhelming on-chain vote crossed quorum.

Overview

  • More than 69 million UNI have voted in favor with virtually no opposition, with the vote scheduled to close on Dec. 25.
  • Following the timelock, the protocol fee switch is set to be enabled on Unichain before a broader rollout to supported v2 and select v3 pools.
  • Roughly one-sixth of trading fees will flow into an automated burn mechanism, which CoinDesk estimates could direct about $130 million per year at current volumes.
  • A one-time burn of 100 million UNI from the treasury is included, valued near $940 million at recent prices.
  • The proposal consolidates operations between Uniswap Labs and the Foundation, establishes a roughly 20 million UNI annual growth budget, and adds revenue-capture features such as Unichain sequencer-fee burns and Protocol Fee Discount Auctions.
