Uniswap (UNI), one of the industry’s largest decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges (DEXs), has set the stage for a major shift in its ecosystem with a proposed upgrade that could have significant implications for UNI token holders.
The upgrade aims to bolster governance participation, enhance resilience, and reward token holders for active engagement within the Uniswap ecosystem.

Beyond the immediate benefits, the proposed upgrade holds the potential for long-term value appreciation of the UNI token. By incentivizing participation and aligning token holders’ interests with the ecosystem’s success, Uniswap aims to foster organic growth and adoption.
Assuming a successful on-chain vote, the community will have the option to activate fees. Gauntlet, a trusted entity, is reportedly preparing a proposed roll-out process that will be shared on the forum.
Only after completing this separate governance process will fees be collected and distributed according to the adopted contracts. Koen further noted:
We’re excited to invigorate governance – incentivizing not only delegation but thoughtful and active delegation – by tying delegation to protocol fees. Specifically, we believe UNI token holders will be incentivized to choose delegates whose votes and engagement with the protocol will…
