What is UNI?

About Uniswap

UNI is the governance and value-accrual token of Uniswap, a decentralized exchange (DEX) protocol launched in November 2018. Uniswap pioneered the automated market maker (AMM) model that eliminated traditional order books: liquidity providers deposit token pairs into smart contract pools, and traders swap against that pooled liquidity at algorithmically determined prices. Founded by Hayden Adams, Uniswap has evolved through four protocol versions (V1 through V4), deployed across many blockchain networks, and in 2025 launched Unichain, its own Optimism-based Layer 2 blockchain purpose-built for DeFi trading. The UNI token was introduced on September 16, 2020 through a retroactive airdrop to users who had interacted with the protocol.

UNI tokenomics

UNI's tokenomics fundamentally changed in December 2025 when the DAO passed the UNIfication proposal with 125.34 million votes in favor. Before UNIfication, UNI was a governance-only token with no direct link to the trading fees generated by Uniswap's pools. UNIfication activated the fee switch and created an automated buy-and-burn mechanism, permanently shifting UNI from passive governance to deflationary value accrual.

Maximum supply — 1,000,000,000 UNI (1 billion)

Treasury burn — 100 million UNI permanently destroyed from the treasury on 28 December 2025 as part of UNIfication

Fee switch mechanism — protocol fees collected from V2 and V3 pools (V4 pools are subject to a separate governance vote) flow into TokenJar; accumulated fees are used to buy UNI on the open market and burn tokens permanently through Firepit

Unichain sequencer revenue — net sequencer fees from Unichain (after L1 data costs and a 15% share to Optimism) are routed directly into the UNI burn mechanism

Protocol Fee Discount Auctions (PFDA) — traders bid for short-window fee exemptions; winning bids are burned as UNI

Growth budget — 20 million UNI per year allocated for ecosystem growth; for UNI to become structurally deflationary, the burn rate must exceed this issuance

What determines UNI's value

UNI's value is now directly tied to Uniswap's trading volume across all deployments. Every swap on a fee-switch-enabled pool generates protocol revenue that flows to UNI burns through the TokenJar/Firepit mechanism, and sequencer fees from Unichain feed the same burn mechanism. The more volume the protocol captures, the more UNI can be burned.

Uniswap V4, launched with hooks (customizable smart contract logic that developers embed directly into liquidity pools), expands the protocol's addressable market beyond simple token swaps into dynamic fee management, impermanent loss hedging, MEV protection, and KYC-gated institutional pools.

How to Exchange Uniswap on Swapzone

Select a pair to exchange

Choose UNI as the asset you send, or as the asset you receive, and pick the other currency. Enter the amount to see live estimates from partner exchanges.

Choose an offer

Compare UNI offers by rate, estimated completion time, KYC frequency label and partner rating, then select the one that fits your swap.

Enter receiving wallet address

Paste the receiving address for the asset you want. For UNI, use a standard 0x address on the network the offer states. No MEMO or destination tag is needed.

Send deposit to generated address

Send the exact UNI amount to the generated deposit address on the network the partner specifies. UNI exists on Ethereum and on several L2s, and a wrong-network transfer may not be recoverable.

Watch your exchange complete

Follow the order status on the Swapzone page. Completion time depends on the network you send on and the partner's processing.

How to Choose a Uniswap Exchange

Swapzone shows every live UNI offer in one list, so you can filter by what matters for this swap.

By rate

By transaction speed

By rating

UNI has deep liquidity on both centralized exchanges and Uniswap itself, so partner quotes tend to be close. Compare the final amount received on your exact trade size, since small spread differences add up on larger swaps.

Uniswap (UNI) Price Analysis

UNI's value now depends on Uniswap's trading volume: fees from fee-switch pools buy and burn UNI, and Unichain sequencer revenue feeds the same burn. That makes cumulative volume across V2, V3, V4, and Unichain the main metric to track. The offset is the 20 million UNI per year growth budget: the burn rate has to exceed that issuance for supply to shrink. Fee income also depends on trading activity, which falls in quiet markets.No prediction is certain. Regulatory changes, macroeconomic conditions, and network-specific events can shift prices in either direction. Research multiple independent sources and consider your risk tolerance before making any financial decision.Disclaimer: This content is for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial or investment advice.

Frequently Asked Questions About Uniswap (UNI)

What is UNI used for after the UNIfication vote? dropdown

UNI is the governance token of Uniswap, and since the December 2025 UNIfication proposal it also accrues value: protocol fees buy UNI on the open market and burn it. Before that vote it was governance-only with no direct link to fees.

What is UNIfication? dropdown

It is the proposal the Uniswap DAO passed in December 2025 with 125.34 million votes in favor. It activated the fee switch, created an automated buy-and-burn mechanism, and burned 100 million UNI from the treasury.

How do TokenJar and Firepit burn UNI? dropdown

Protocol fees from V2 and V3 pools (V4 pools are subject to a separate governance vote) flow into TokenJar. The accumulated fees are used to buy UNI on the open market, and the purchased tokens are burned permanently through Firepit.

What is Unichain and how does it affect UNI? dropdown

Unichain is Uniswap's Optimism-based Layer 2, launched in 2025. Its net sequencer fees, after L1 data costs and a 15% share to Optimism, go into the UNI burn mechanism.

What are Protocol Fee Discount Auctions? dropdown

Traders bid for short windows of fee exemption, and winning bids are burned as UNI.

Is UNI deflationary? dropdown

Not automatically. The maximum supply is 1 billion UNI and the treasury burn removed 100 million, but 20 million UNI per year is allocated to ecosystem growth. UNI becomes structurally deflationary only if the burn rate exceeds that issuance.

What did Uniswap V4 hooks add? dropdown

Hooks are customizable smart contract logic that developers embed directly into liquidity pools. They enable dynamic fees, impermanent loss hedging, MEV protection, and KYC-gated institutional pools.

What institutional activity has Uniswap seen? dropdown

BlackRock's tokenized US Treasury fund BUIDL, issued with Securitize, became tradable through UniswapX on 11 February 2026, for qualified, whitelisted institutional investors only. Robinhood Chain launched on mainnet on 1 July 2026, and Uniswap deployed an automated market maker there as its main public liquidity layer. Neither is a forecast of demand for UNI.

How was UNI first distributed? dropdown

UNI was introduced on September 16, 2020 through a retroactive airdrop to users who had already interacted with the Uniswap protocol.

Which network should I use when sending UNI? dropdown

UNI is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum and is also available on several L2 networks. Send on the network the swap offer states; the same 0x address format is used on several networks, so a wrong-network transfer is easy to make and hard to recover.

How do I exchange UNI on Swapzone? dropdown

Open swapzone.io/exchange/uniswap, enter the amount, and compare offers. Paste your receiving address, send UNI to the generated deposit address on the stated network, and track the order. No MEMO is needed.
