All fees collected by the protocol will then be used to buy and burn UNI tokens, reducing its circulating supply and introducing a deflationary mechanism.<\/p>\n<p>Adams also proposed a one-time burn of 100 million UNI from the treasury to account for tokens that would\u2019ve removed if fees had been active since the project\u2019s inception.
