Overview

After years of debate, Uniswap governance has moved from discussion to execution: the DAO approved a package branded “UNIfication” that flips the long-discussed “fee switch” and pairs it with a major token burn and other protocol-adjacent changes. The vote, held on Christmas Day, is being framed by participants as a turning point in how Uniswap aligns protocol economics, token supply, and interface-level fees going forward.
