Uniswap’s UNIfication proposal passed quorum on Agora and is expected to activate this week. Key activations include: a 100 million UNI token burn, activation of protocol fees for v2 and v3, a 40 million UNI growth budget over two years, moving Foundation staff to Uniswap Labs, and removing the current interface fee. However, with the burn, LP profitability reduces and most LPs leave causing Uniswap net TVL to reduce

Jordan@jorstack

The Unification proposal is nearing 100 million votes, with three days still remaining! This is an extremely unified outcome and one of the greatest governance proposals of this year. On the 27th, 100M $UNI will be burned, and the fee switch will go live! @Uniswap great work!

My predictions for the UNIfication proposal, once activated: - Uni v3 pools become unprofitable despite the FPDA, LPs migrate to Uni v4 - some LPs leave the Uniswap ecosystem entirely, net TVL goes down - fees collected on v3 compress to zero, with some coming from v2 Scenario

Aave is facing a governance crisis after Aave Labs redirected frontend revenue to a private wallet controlled by aave labs, cutting off DAO revenue, this sparked a “civil war” over whether the DAO or the centralized founding entity (Aave labs) truly owns the protocol’s brand, IP, and interface.

L2Beat outlined the Ethereum Interop Layer (EIL), a proposal to unify Ethereum’s L2 ecosystem by letting users execute transactions directly, enhancing security and censorship resistance, while replacing relayers with cross-chain liquidity providers and aiming for a near-perfect safety rating.

At DevConnect Buenos Aires, the details of EIL @ethinteroplayer - Ethereum Interoperability Layer were unveiled. We’ve been deep-diving interop protocols for months and our initial assessment of EIL contracts (deployed on testnets already) is following 🧵👇
