SBF Purchases Uniswap Domain for Seven-Figure Sum
Uniswap Labs founder Hayden Adams revealed that Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) once purchased the Uniswap.com domain for a seven-figure sum after Uniswap refused to meet the original owner's asking price of $1 million.
The acquisition was intended to disrupt Uniswap, directing users to SushiSwap, a competing decentralized exchange. Adams stated that this move could have confused traders and led to financial losses for unsuspecting investors.
In an X post on September 20, Adams mentioned the domain's history, stating that 'SBF bought it (for 7 figures) and pointed it to a fork, I guess to flex / mess with us.'
