<p>The native token (UNI) of the decentralized exchange Uniswap experienced a remarkable surge, reaching highs of $12.20 on major exchanges. This surge, surpassing 60%, resulted from the Uniswap Foundation introducing a highly anticipated governance proposal to upgrade the protocol’s governance system.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-uniswap-s-new-governance-proposal">Uniswap’s New Governance Proposal</h2> 
<p>On Friday, February 23, 2024, Erin Koen, Uniswap Foundation’s governance lead, submitted a groundbreaking proposal designed to overhaul Uniswap’s governance system. At the core of this proposal lies a strategic improvement to the protocol’s fee mechanism.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://gov.uniswap.org/t/rfc-activate-uniswap-protocol-governance/22936">proposal’s primary objective</a> is to encourage a more active and responsible delegate community by aligning rewards with governance participation. This significant step is intended to fortify the protocol’s long-term sustainability and foster continuous growth.</p> 
<p>Koen see Uniswap governance model lasting for decades, making its role as a crucial part of internet liquidity. Moreover, these proposal shows a commitment to improving the delegate experience.</p> 
<p>Koen stated, “</p>

<p>He further highlighted that approval from the community would make Uniswap’s governance more robust and decentralized.</p>

<p>However, this proposal is quite different from what was tried last year. Back then, they wanted to reward token holders with fees earned.</p> 
<p>Later in June, the Uniswap community rejected a proposal to activate fees for many liquidity pools, distributing a portion of the revenue among token holders. Meanwhile, in October, the exchange implemented a 0.15% fee on swaps involving ETH, USDC, and other tokens on the platform.</p> 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-market-response">Market Response</h3> 
<p>Following the positive developments, <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-prediction/uniswap-uni-price-prediction/">UNI experienced a surge</a>, reaching $12, marking an impressive 60% increase over the past 24 hours. This price level represents the highest since April 2022, significantly outperforming the relatively stable price action of bitcoin (BTC).</p>
