Uniswap governance will vote on the UNIfication proposal by December 25, 2025. If passed, 100 million UNI tokens (16% of supply) will be burned, reshaping tokenomics. Fee switches on Ethereum will direct swap fees to ongoing burns, potentially creating $180 million in annual value destruction. The plan also aligns Uniswap Labs with governance under Wyoming’s DUNA framework. Solana swaps via Jupiter’s API are now live, boosting volume and user reach for the burn mechanism.

As per Captainaltcoin, Uniswap's UNIfication proposal is set for a final governance vote by December 25, 2025. If approved, the proposal will burn 100 million UNI tokens (16% of the circulating supply) and activate fee switches on Ethereum mainnet, directing swap fees toward ongoing token burns. This could generate up to $180 million in annual burns, linking protocol usage to token value. The proposal also aligns Uniswap Labs with governance under Wyoming’s DUNA framework, offering legal clarity while reducing treasury flexibility. Additionally, Uniswap now supports Solana swaps via Jupiter’s API, expanding its user base and potential volume for the burn mechanism.
