What is Uniswap (Arbitrum)?

What we like

UNI has intrinsic value as the native governance token used to direct the future outlook of the protocol. UNI holders can vote to turn on the fee switch for specific pools.

What we like less

UNI transferred through the Arbitrum bridge requires more trust assumptions as the bridge depends on a centralized sequencer who can control the ordering of transactions. UNI currently does not accrue any actual value from the protocol itself as all trading fees are directed back to liquidity providers (LPs).

What it means for you

Allows you to gain exposure to the largest decentralized exchange with potential to accrue value from a future proposal to turn on protocol fee switch.

These tokens will become available over the course of four years, after which Uniswap will become inflationary via introduction of a 2% perpetual inflation rate to maintain network participation.
