Uniswap’s Fee Frenzy: Melding V3 Pools & 8 New Worlds – Will ETH Burn?

by
  • Uniswap, ever the visionary, plans to awaken protocol fees across every V3 pool, setting the stage for a rapidly evolving governance ballet.
  • In a grand gesture, the proposal extends these fees to eight new networks, funneling the potions back to Ethereum where they will feed the mighty UNI‑bonfire.
  • Let us not forget the royal decree: governance shall cast its votes through twin chronicles, for the on‑chain ledger cannot accommodate the whole affair in a single scroll.

Uniswap’s council now entertains a sweeping fee‑expansion. Inspired by the ingenious Erin Koen, the draft summons fees to every V3 pool on the Ethereum mainnet, while simultaneously plotting to annex eight neighboring chains.

Under the freshly minted UNIfication doctrine, this mechanism is the first of its kind. If the council nods in approval, it may well rewrite how Uniswap scoops and consumes UNI across realms.

Fees Voyage to Eight New Territories

Arbitrum, Base, Celo, OP Mainnet, Soneium, X Layer, Worldchain, and Zora-each shall be graced with both V2 and V3 protocol fees. These bites of value, once collected, will be shepherded into a TokenJar contract upon their respective domains.

From there, UNI gambles its way back to Ethereum’s heart, only to be consigned to a burn address. The same apparatus that pelted Unichain’s sequencer fees to ashes already performs this chrysalis operation.

Koen boasts that the V3 fee rollout on Ethereum’s mainnet has sailed smoothly; the market‑adjusted TVL has risen faster than a comet post‑December. The burn engine has been reliably converting fealty from diverse tokens into pure UNI ashes-no manual smacking required.

A Tier‑based Tax Doctrine for All V3 Pools

The previous incantation, the v3FeeAdapter, dithered pool‑by‑pool, forcing the council to maintain an ever‑changing ledger of fees. The new fate of the v3OpenFeeAdapter blesses every pool sharing an LP fee tier with a uniform protocol fee.

Henceforth, new pools shall automatically inherit the default fee of their tier, sparing the council from ordering a fee decree for each one. Nevertheless, should a field of particular pools find its peers squandering their obligations, the council retains the right to intervene.

Moreover, the revised system cuts the RFC silence. The path now leads straight into a five‑day Snapshot vote, onward to an on‑chain judgment. Time, that relentless adversary, evaporates while the on‑chain armor remains intact.

GovernorBravo’s legislation, limited to ten actions per scroll, splits the on‑chain vote into two parallel gospels: one to conquer mainnet changes plus Base, OP Mainnet, and Arbitrum; the other to tackle Celo, Soneium, Worldchain, X Layer, and Zora.

The temp check currently hovers in the Uniswap governance forum. Treasures of insight may be poured forth before the draft steps into the Snapshot’s arena.
