ChainCatcher News: Uniswap token holders will start voting this Thursday on a major proposal to activate the protocol fee switch on eight Layer 2 blockchains, including Base, Arbitrum, and OP Mainnet, for two protocol versions. Once activated, at least one-sixth of the fees collected by liquidity providers on these chains will be transferred to the token pool, allowing investors who burn an equivalent amount of UNI tokens to claim the funds. This is expected to more than double current earnings.
The fee switch has been live on Ethereum mainnet v2 and some v3 liquidity pools since December last year, generating a total of $3.3 million in revenue. Since 2026, Base has surpassed Ethereum to become Uniswap’s largest fee source chain, generating $55 million in fees.
Boosted by the proposal news, UNI has risen 9% over the past week, outperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum, which declined during the same period. The final vote will end on March 4.
