Uniswap Labs and UNI tokenholders will benefit the most from Unichain, while ETH holders will likely see the biggest loss, says DeFi Report founder Michael Nadeau.
Uniswap’s new layer 2 blockchain Unichain could be a boon for creator Uniswap Labs and holders of the project’s token, potentially earning them close to $500 million a year from fees that would’ve otherwise been paid to the Ethereum network.
Unichain’s launch would see $368 million previously paid to Ethereum validators in the last year put directly into the hands of Uniswap Labs and likely Uniswap (UNI) tokenholders, DeFi Report founder Michael Nadeau said In an Oct. 13 X post.
Uniswap Labs would also be able to capture all Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) on Unchain because it owns all of the validators on the network, instead of allowing Ethereum validators to scalp MEV, he added.
