CoinVoice recently learned that Michael Nadeau, founder of DeFi Report, recently published an article stating that the launch of Unichain will allow the $368 million paid to Ethereum validators last year to fall directly into the hands of Uniswap Labs and even UNI token holders. He added that Uniswap Labs will also be able to capture all MEV on Unchain because it owns all validators on the network.
“MEV is estimated to account for about 10% of total fees paid on Uniswap ($100 million last year). They can also choose to share some of this with token holders,” Nadeau said.
He added that Uniswap liquidity providers can also benefit from Unichain as they will be able to participate in settlement and MEV capture through staking. Nadeau said Ethereum validators and ETH holders will lose the most after the launch of Unichain, with less ether burned and reduced network fees. [Original link]
