Uniswap, the dominant decentralized exchange protocol, is seeking community approval to extend its fee-collection system to eight additional blockchain networks and to all remaining version 3 liquidity pools on Ethereum.
The governance proposal, now open for voting, would activate protocol fees on Arbitrum, Base, Celo, OP Mainnet, Soneium, X Layer, Worldchain, and Zora. A new tier-based adapter would automatically assign fee rates to pools based on their liquidity provider fee structure, eliminating the need for individual pool governance actions.
Revenue collected on layer 2 networks would be bridged back to Ethereum mainnet, where it would fund automated purchases and permanent removal of UNI from circulation. The model mirrors the infrastructure used for Unichain sequencer revenue, reinforcing a usage-linked burn mechanism.
The vote marks the first major test of Uniswap’s UNIfication governance overhaul, which allows fee-related proposals to bypass the traditional request for comment stage and move directly to a five day Snapshot poll followed by binding on-chain ratification.
If approved, the expansion would significantly broaden Uniswap’s revenue capture across ecosystems and further entrench its deflationary design tied to protocol usage.
