The Uniswap community has supported the large-scale UNIfication initiative, which involves significant changes to the platform’s operation, including the implementation of a deflationary mechanism and the redistribution of fees. The decision to adopt the proposal was made by an overwhelming majority, and the changes will take effect in just two days.

Voting Results and Implementation Details
The voting on the UNIfication proposal, presented by Uniswap Labs along with the Uniswap Foundation, concluded on the night of December 25, 2025. The platform’s founder, Hayden Adams, announced the results, noting that over 125 million UNI tokens voted in favor of the initiative, accounting for 99.9% support. Only 742 votes were against it. A one-time burn of 100 million UNI will occur within two days after the approval.
“After approximately a 2-day lock-up, 100 million UNI will be burned, the fee collection switches will be turned on, the lab will cease charging fees from the frontend and focus on the protocol, and much more.”
In light of the positive news, the UNI price showed a sharp increase. Within a day, the token rose by 3%, and over the week, it increased by 20.7%. At the time of preparing this news, the asset’s price fluctuated around $6.
Key Elements of the UNIfication Proposal
UNIfication is a comprehensive reform of the financial model of the Uniswap protocol, introduced in November 2025. Voting for it began on December 20.
The main provisions of the initiative include:
- allocating a portion of the fees received by liquidity providers for the buyback and burn of UNI;
- redirecting the income from the Unichain sequencer for the buyback and burn of UNI;
- a one-time burn of 100 million UNI, which constitutes about 16% of the current supply;
- launching Protocol Fee Discount Auctions (PFDA);
- integrating mechanisms to attract liquidity in version V4;
- merging Uniswap Foundation and Uniswap Labs with the transfer of management functions to the latter.
The goal of implementing such changes is to create a deflationary model for the UNI token and to lay the groundwork for the further development of the protocol.
Hayden Adams, while presenting UNIfication, emphasized that he sees Uniswap as the future leading platform for token trading, and the proposed reforms will ensure its scalability for the next decade.
