Uniswap’s daily swap total exceeded 7 million as founder Hayden Adams said the decentralized exchange was handling roughly 82 swaps per second across chains, a pace consistent with Blockworks Research figures showing more than 7 million swaps in a day and the protocol’s two busiest days by swap count. Weekly swaps had already surged 86% to a record 40 million, unique daily swappers reached about 147,000, and Uniswap V3 and V4 drove most recent growth across Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum and newer deployments. The milestone followed rapid fee expansion: a July 7 governance discussion said fees were live across all v2 and v3 pools on 11 chains; on July 27 governance added Robinhood Chain for v2 and v3 and executed the first part of the v4 fee proposal, activating fee controllers on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain, Polygon, Optimism and Robinhood Chain, with five other chains deferred. Blockworks reported Aug. 12 that v4 fees were active across roughly 229,000 v4 pools, 10 of 12 authorized chains were generating protocol fees, and nearly all pools across versions contributed some swap fees toward UNI burns. Over 30 days through that primer, liquidity providers earned about $44 million while roughly $4 million accrued to the protocol, including $3.64 million from v2 and v3 and about $300,000 from v4 in its first two weeks. Uniswap Labs said in a July 18 update that protocol fees had funded about 7.5 million UNI burns since December, worth roughly $25.6 million at the valuation it used, as monthly protocol fees rose from about $3.1 million in February to $5.1 million in June. Recurring fee assets accumulate in TokenJar and can be claimed by burning UNI through Firepit, separate from the one-time 100 million UNI treasury burn under UNIfication. Cumulative protocol fees had earlier risen from about $17 million in early June to more than $33 million by late August. Broad coverage does not show how much of the Sept. 1 activity hit fee-enabled pools, so value capture remains measured by protocol accruals and UNI burned rather than as a share of the latest swaps.
