UNI’s trading volume has made a 1,200% leap on the day to rest at $1.33 billion. With a market capitalization of $6.7 billion, UNI has claimed the 15th position on the CoinMarketCap ranking.


This performance comes after a proposal by the Uniswap Foundation to upgrade the protocol’s governance system.


According to the proposal submitted by Uniswap Foundation’s governance lead, Erin Koen, the “upgrade would reward UNI holders who have staked and delegated their tokens.”Potential Impact

Decentralized, resilient, and engaged governance is imperative to the long-term health and success of the Protocol. We believe this upgrade will strengthen and invigorate Uniswap governance.— Uniswap Foundation (@UniswapFND) February 23, 2024


The proposal also includes enriching the fee mechanism to ”reward UNI token holders that have delegated and staked their tokens” on the platform.


Koen said,“Specifically, we believe UNI token holders will be incentivized to choose delegates whose votes and engagement with the protocol will lead to the Protocol’s growth and success.”


A snapshot vote for this proposal will take place on March 1, 2024, and an on-chain vote will be posted on March 8, 2024.


Koen’s proposal comes after Unisswap rolled out “Uni.eth” subdomains using the Ethereum Name Service (ENS) infrastructure, allowing users to convert complex hexadecimal Ethereum addresses into human-readable names.


In an announcement on the X social media platform on Feb. 22, Uniswap Labs said, “uni.eth is a readable username that makes it easy to receive crypto and build your web3 profile.”Say goodbye to 0x addresses
