The original owners of Uniswap.com reportedly sought a seven-figure payment, which Uniswap declined to pay. According to Hayden Adams, SBF then purchased the domain for seven figures and redirected it to a fork, apparently to flex at or antagonize Uniswap. Adams says this malicious use of the domain gave Uniswap's legal team grounds to obtain Uniswap.com for free. The claims were made in a post on X quoting a user's remark that "this guy is serious."
