[Uniswap Labs CEO denies allegation of extortion for protocol deployment] Golden Finance reported that Hayden Abrams, CEO of Uniswap Labs, refuted claims that the platform charged $20 million for protocol deployment, calling the allegations "completely false." Abrams said he rarely deals with individuals seeking attention, explaining that protocol deployments typically follow governance votes. He added that the priority of deployment depends on the activity and workload involved, but efforts are being made to reduce the amount of work required for each chain. The CEO's comments were in response to social media posts accusing Uniswap Labs of extorting millions of dollars from entities seeking to deploy its protocol. One user said this alleged misconduct is common.
