Uniswap Foundation Reports $85.8M In Year-End Assets, Funding Projected To Support Operations Through 2027

Uniswap Foundation, a nonprofit focused on fostering a more open and equitable financial system by supporting innovation within the Uniswap protocol ecosystem, has published its unaudited financial summary for fiscal year 2025, indicating that current funding is projected to sustain operations through January 2027.

The report highlights 2025 as a pivotal year for the Uniswap ecosystem, marked by major protocol launches, governance initiatives, and ecosystem expansion that strengthened the foundation for long-term growth. Key milestones included the launch of Uniswap v4, introducing hooks and a programmable architecture to expand on-chain liquidity design possibilities, and the release of Unichain, which provides infrastructure to support high-performance decentralized finance applications. The developer ecosystem continued to grow, with over 1,500 builders onboarding to v4 and thousands of hooks activated across the network.

Additional funding for the Foundation was approved through the Uniswap Unleashed governance proposal, enhancing its capacity to support ecosystem development. Governance also approved the creation of the DUNI legal entity to address evolving structural needs and the publication of the UNIfication proposal, outlining a framework to better align the ecosystem’s institutional and governance structures, with UNIfication receiving approval on December 26, 2025.

Throughout the year, the Foundation maintained support for the ecosystem through grants, developer programs, governance infrastructure, research initiatives, and partnerships. Detailed accomplishments are available in the Uniswap Foundation Ecosystem Impact Report: 2025.

As of December 31, 2025, the Foundation held $49.9 million in USD and stablecoins, 15.1 million UNI, and 240 ETH, equating to $85.8 million in total market value.

These projections will be updated in the Q1 2026 report following the UNIfication proposal and subsequent organizational adjustments.
