Uniswap Labs recently announced the launch of its new blockchain, Unichain, and Uniswap has long been a key driver of activity on the Ethereum mainnet. As Uniswap transitions to its own chain, validators on the Ethereum network could lose around $400 million to $500 million a year in revenue. But even more serious than this economic loss, it threatens Ethereum's fundamental narrative as a deflationary currency. Uniswap's universal router is the number one account for consuming gas fees, accounting for 14.5% of Ethereum's gas fees, equivalent to destroying $1.60 billion worth of Ethereum. This means that the destruction mechanism will be less effective, further weakening Ethereum's economic position.
