Overview
- On-chain voting runs from Feb. 27 to March 1 and is split into two proposals due to transaction limits.
- The expansion would activate protocol fees by default across v3 pools on Base, OP Mainnet, Arbitrum, Celo, Soneium, Worldchain, X Layer, and Zora via the v3OpenFeeAdapter.
- Fees on each network would accrue to a local TokenJar and then be bridged to Ethereum for UNI buybacks and burns, replacing manual pool-by-pool activation.
- Reporting cites about $27 million in additional annualized revenue on top of roughly $34 million already captured, with more than $5.5 million in UNI burned since late 2025; some estimates put total annualized revenue near $61 million.
- UNI jumped roughly 15–20% to about $4 with notable spikes in spot volume and open interest, though observers caution that higher protocol fees could affect liquidity competitiveness on fee‑sensitive L2s.
