Founder Hayden Adams says Uniswap has processed over $4 trillion in volume since its launch.<\/p>\n<p>UNIfication aims to cement this industry leadership, changing the token and fee models to position UNI at the heart of the protocol. As we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/uni-price-skyrockets-38-as-uniswap-considers-new-tokenomics-upgrade\/\">reported<\/a>, it was first proposed in early November by Adams, and a week ago, it hit 63 million votes, prompting the team to submit it for onchain voting.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Last month, we posted a governance proposal to turn on protocol fees &amp; align incentives across the Uniswap ecosystem<\/p>\n<p>UNIfication passed snapshot with 63M+ votes in favor<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow, the proposal moves to onchain vote <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Q13qFXE9eY\">pic.twitter.com\/Q13qFXE9eY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Uniswap Foundation (@UniswapFND) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UniswapFND\/status\/2001657699214463155?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">December 18, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>UNIfication is built around four pillars:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>The Fee Switch<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By far the most significant pillar, it activates a change in the fee model to channel a portion of the fees charged to the protocol, rather than the liquidity providers. These fees will be used to buy back and burn UNI, making the network deflationary. While it will initially only affect v2 pools, it will be rolled out over time on v3, other L1s and L2s, v4, and, eventually, aggregator hooks.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>100 Million Uni Burn<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To compensate for the three years during which the fee switch was not activated, the protocol will burn 100 million UNI (approximately 15% of the supply) from the treasury.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>PFDA and Aggregator Hooks<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To consolidate the trading volume that leaks to other platforms, the UNIfication introduces Protocol Fee Discount Auction (PFDA), where trades can bid for free discounts in a system that incentivizes further UNI token burns. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/uniswap-v4-tvl-tops-1b-as-uni-price-test\/\">Uniswap\u2019s v4<\/a> will further rely on \u201choks\u201d as on-chain aggregators. This allows the protocol to collect fees even when liquidity is provided by other protocols.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Organizational Restructuring<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Beyond the technical changes, the proposal will merge the two organizations that oversee the protocol\u2019s development: Uniswap Labs and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/uniswap-foundation-reveals-2025-q1-report-and-future-plans\/\">Uniswap Foundation<\/a>, centralizing operations with an annual $20 million budget.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Uniswap (UNI) Rallies 29%<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>UNI has rallied on the back of the success of the UNIfication proposal.
