Uniswap запускает комиссионные сборы и меняет управление протоколом Translation: Uniswap launches commission fees and changes the protocol management.

The founder of Uniswap, Hayden Adams, has unveiled the final version of the UNIfication proposal aimed at managing the protocol. This initiative will activate the «fee switch.»

Voting will take place from December 19 to 25. Adams encouraged delegates to make a decision before the holidays:

«Make your decision before Christmas or you’ll end up on Santa’s naughty list.»

This followed a discussion with the community initiated by Uniswap Labs and the Uniswap Foundation. A key change is the activation of the «fee switch,» which will reallocate a portion of trading fee revenues, previously fully directed to liquidity providers, for the benefit of the protocol.

The proposal’s authors noted that this step had been postponed for years due to the hostile policies of the SEC under the leadership of Gary Gensler. They believe the situation has now changed.

If the proposal is approved, the protocol will undertake a series of actions:

The implementation of fees will occur gradually to minimize risks. The issue of fees for Uniswap v4 will be addressed in a separate vote.

The proposal also includes a restructuring of governance. Uniswap Labs will enter into a legally binding agreement under Wyoming’s decentralized nonprofit association law, aimed at aligning the interests of the company and token holders.

Uniswap Labs will take over operational tasks previously handled by the Uniswap Foundation. The company will forgo fees for the interface and wallet, but starting in 2026, it will receive an annual budget of 20 million UNI from the treasury for project development.

At the time of writing, the UNI token has risen by 2.5%, reaching $5.027.

As a reminder, in November Uniswap introduced the Continuous Clearing Auctions solution for fair pricing during the launch of new tokens.
