The Uniswap (UNI) daily fee revenue surged to a record $1.4 million, catalyzed by the Truebit Protocol (TRU) hack. The daily average trading activity for TRU surged by over 43% to $83k, according to market data from CoinMarketCap, thus contributing nearly 90% of Uniswap’s record fee revenue.

2025 was a busy year for Uniswap, with the launch of Unichain, Uniswap v4, and the passing of the UNIfication proposal! Let’s take a quick look back at 2025.
# Uniswap Metrics
The Uniswap Protocol continues to be a leading DEX across the crypto space and saw its highest yearly volume ever! The protocol handled over [$1.42 trillion](https://dune.com/uniswaplabs/yearly-uniswap-volume-cuts) in volume, bringing the total cumulative volume to over [$4 trillion](https://dune.com/uniswaplabs/uniswap-protocol-stats). On top of the record-breaking volume this past year, Uniswap collected over [$932 million in fees](https://tokenterminal.com/explorer/projects/uniswap/financial-statement).
# Launch of Unichain
Unichain mainnet went live in February and is already one of the [top 3 chains](https://www.superchain.eco/chains) to contribute to the Optimism Collective. The chain has already handled around [309 million transactions](https://dune.com/sealaunch/unichain) and has seen over [3.75 million contracts](https://dune.com/sealaunch/unichain) deployed. Additionally, more than [6.4 million unique addresses](https://dune.com/sealaunch/unichain) have interacted with the chain.

# Uniswap v4
The launch of v4 was one of Uniswap’s biggest announcements. Some of the most notable upgrades included cheaper pool creation, lower swapping costs, and the introduction of Hooks.
So far, v4 has handled over [$271 billion in volume](https://dune.com/uniswap_fnd/v4-launch-metrics-tracker), collected close to [$150 million in fees](https://dune.com/uniswap_fnd/v4-launch-metrics-tracker), and seen [22,000 hooks](https://dune.com/uniswap_fnd/v4-launch-metrics-tracker)initialized. In addition, v4 pools currently have a [TVL of $682 million](https://dune.com/uniswap_fnd/v4-launch-metrics-tracker)!
# UNIfication
The UNIfication proposal was one of the most important proposals in Uniswap Foundation history and saw over [125 million UNI](https://vote.uniswapfoundation.org/proposals/93) participate in the vote! Not only did the proposal move teams from the Foundation to Labs but also brought some exciting news to UNI holders.
First, 100 million UNI was burned from the Uniswap Foundation treasury. The 100 million UNI tokens that were burned are an estimate of what might’ve been burned if the protocol fee switch had been activated at the token’s launch. Second, the fee switch was finally turned on for v2 and v3 pools on Ethereum (and eventually L2s and v4 pools). Third, Unichain sequencer fees will go towards burning UNI (after L1 data costs and the 15% to Optimism). And last but not least, no more interface fees! Now, there are only LP and protocol fees whenever you swap through Uniswap app.
