A recent vote on the UNIfication proposal, which began on December 20 and ends on December 25, has cleared the required threshold to take effect this week.

The decision will activate the protocol fee switch for Uniswap UNI $6.19 versions 2 and 3 on the Unichain mainnet, according to a post on X from CEO Hyaden Adams. A two-day time lock will follow before the change goes live.

Once activated, the plan calls for the burning of 100 million UNI tokens from the Uniswap Foundation's treasury. Additionally, a Protocol Fee Discount Auctions feature will be added to raise liquidity provider returns.
