PANews reported on October 14 that according to Cointelegraph, Michael Nadeau, founder of DeFi Report, said that Uniswap's new L2 blockchain Unichain may bring good news to the creator Uniswap Labs and the holders of the project's tokens, who may earn nearly $468 million in revenue each year from fees that would otherwise be paid to the Ethereum network. Uniswap Labs and UNI token holders will benefit the most from Unichain, while ETH holders may suffer the most. Potential sources of income are as follows:
Settlement fees. Instead of paying $368 million to Ethereum validators, Uniswap Labs (and most likely UNI token holders) will capture this fee when launching Unichain.
MEV. In addition to collecting settlement fees in Ethereum, Uniswap will also be able to earn MEV because they will have validators on Unichain. It is estimated that MEV accounts for about 10% of the total fees paid on Uniswap ($100 million last year). They can also choose to share some of this with token holders.
Liquidity providers. Liquidity providers will continue to receive 100% of trading fees and may also participate in settlement and MEV once Unichain goes live.
