• Uniswap’s move to Unichain will benefit UNI token holders.
• Uniswap Labs and liquidity providers are also going to benefit. 
• Ethereum validators will lose a huge chunk of the fees they receive from Uniswap.

Uniswap, a leading decentralized crypto exchange (DEX), is moving to Unichain later this year. This shift will bring major changes to the platform and create value for holders of UNI, the DEX’s native token.

Michael Nadeau, founder of The DeFi Report, took to X to explain how this move to Unichain—the DEX’s new Layer 2 solution within the OP Superchain—will affect UNI holders, validators, and others involved with the DEX.
