Uniswap Founder Denies FUD Around V4 Upgrade Fee Structure

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams has addressed criticism surrounding the v4 upgrade of the decentralized exchange (DEX), dismissing rumors as 'FUD and misunderstanding'. In a recent post on X, Adams stated that claims about reduced liquidity pool fees are false. He clarified that protocol fees are additive, not subtractive, meaning LPs in a 30bp pool still earn 30bp per swap.

Adams responded to the criticism with a breakdown of the fee switch, stating 'The protocol is taking 25% of LP profits', Made-up math. On a 30bp pool the protocol fee is not 75%, but rather [a percentage that was not specified].

Critics have highlighted issues beyond fee structuring in the v4 upgrade.
