report<\/a> by Uniswap (UNI) Foundation on May 23 stated that the majority of the revenue came from a $140 million donation that was authorized by Uniswap governance, with the remainder coming from interest and dividends. As of Mar. 31, the Foundation held $53.4 million in USD and stablecoins, 15.8 million UNI tokens, and 257 Ethereum (ETH), totaling about $95 million.\u00a0<\/p>\nAnother 5 million UNI was used as collateral for a $29 million loan, giving the Foundation access to cash while limiting market impact. A total of $115.1 million has been set aside for grants, $99.8 million for 2025 and 2026, and $15.3 million for earlier commitments. The Foundation also earmarked $33.3 million to cover operations and staff compensation through January 2027.<\/p>\n
Of the $12.4 million in new Q1 grants, $9.9 million was dedicated to multi-year programs running through 2029. Some grants include repayment options from Unichain Partners, depending on performance goals.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Foundation\u2019s Q1 strategy focused on strengthening Uniswap and its layer-2 network, Unichain, as key infrastructure for global digital finance. Priorities included improving capital efficiency across EVM chains, funding developer tools and education, expanding sustainable revenue models, and supporting long-term contributors.<\/p>\n
Excluding $100,000 in UNI tokens given to staff, operating costs for the quarter came to $1.9 million. Expenses included marketing, software, events, legal and consulting fees, and salaries.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The update comes after Uniswap achieved several significant milestones, such as the launch of Unichain in early 2025 and the achievement of a $3 trillion lifetime trading volume. In February, the Securities and Exchange Commission closed its investigation into Uniswap Labs without taking action, a move widely seen as positive for the decentralized finance ecosystem.<\/p>\n
A Q2 financial update will follow with more data on grants, spending, and the Foundation\u2019s financial position.<\/p>\n
