The Uniswap Foundation has announced
that an on-chain vote will be starting on May 31. This vote is aimed at
upgrading the protocol to establish a new fee mechanism.
Uniswap will share revenue to reward UNI token holders that have
staked and delegated their UNI tokens.
This upgrade is very important as it
will allow UNI token holders who have staked and delegated their tokens to be
rewarded.
It’s important to note that this
proposal is still subject to an on-chain vote by the Uniswap community. If you
hold UNI and want to participate in this vote, you must delegate your tokens before
the date of the vote using this link.
UNI token holders who have staked and
delegated their tokens are eligible for rewards. Staking involves locking up
your tokens in a smart contract, while delegating means assigning your voting
rights to another address.
The collected fees will be distributed
pro-rata to UNI token holders who have staked and delegated their votes. This
means that the more tokens you have staked and delegated, the larger your share
of the rewards.
Uniswap makes between $1 million and $5
million in daily trading fee. If approved, this proposal could pay out between
$62 million and $156 million to UNI holders in annual dividends.
UNI token price responds positiviely,
UNI 7 days price has increased 41%.
