Full Fee Activation on v3
Uniswap governance is considering activating protocol fees across all remaining v3 pools on Ethereum and extending them to eight additional chains, including Arbitrum and Base.
If approved, protocol fees would no longer be limited to a governance-managed list. Instead, a tier-based adapter would automatically apply fees across all v3 pools based on liquidity provider fee tiers.
This marks a structural shift in how Uniswap captures value from its liquidity infrastructure.
UNI Burn Expansion
The proposal builds on the UNIfication governance overhaul passed last year, which streamlined voting and enabled a burn mechanism. Fees collected on Layer 2s would flow into TokenJar contracts, then be bridged back to Ethereum for conversion into UNI and burned via the Firepit contract.
Hayden Adams confirmed earlier fee activations were closely monitored and functioning as intended.
If passed, the update would formalize protocol-level revenue capture at scale across Uniswap’s multi-chain footprint.
