Uniswap fee switch on mainnet with $15.5M bug bounty
Uniswap Labs has deployed the fee switch proposal contract to Ethereum mainnet, kicking off on-chain voting. The proposal aims to activate the Uniswap fee switch and trigger the UNI burn mechanism. A $15.5 million bug bounty is in place for critical vulnerability reports. If approved, the fee switch will allow Uniswap to collect protocol fees and burn a portion of UNI, potentially reducing supply. Community members can vote directly on-chain via governance. This milestone signals a significant step toward enhanced tokenomics and sustainable revenue for the Uniswap protocol.
Bullish
The deployment of the Uniswap fee switch proposal and a substantial $15.5 million bug bounty demonstrates proactive governance and security commitment. Historically, progress in fee switch activation and token burn mechanisms has boosted community confidence and UNI demand. Short-term, anticipation of protocol revenue and supply reduction may drive UNI price gains. Long-term, sustainable fee generation and tokenomics improvements could strengthen Uniswap’s market position and foster ecosystem growth, supporting continued bullish sentiment.
