Uniswap just flipped the switch on real token economics.
• 100M $UNI burned (~$591M) after UNIfication passed with 99.9% support • Protocol fees now fund ongoing burns • Web app fees set to zero → usage first, value accrual later • Treasury drops from $2.1B → $1.6B
Result: a deflationary flywheel. Market reacted fast, $UNI pushed to ~$6.4, volume +52%, mcap at monthly highs.
This is how DeFi protocols return value to holders.
