Uniswap’s Unichain Layer-2 launch has generated backlash due to limited consultation with the Uniswap DAO, raising claims of transparency and governance issues. Critics argue that the 165.5 million USD funding proposal disproportionately benefits Uniswap Labs, sidelining UNI holders.

Concerns about liquidity fragmentation are prevalent, with efforts to incentivize migration to Unichain potentially weakening Uniswap’s position on Ethereum. Despite these challenges, the Uniswap Foundation is focused on the growth of both Uniswap v4 and Unichain.
