Uniswap’s UI and wallet is now charging users 0.25% on swaps

Uniswap Labs has raised the interface fee on swaps executed through its official web app and Uniswap Wallet to 0.25%, according to reports and user observations shared on X. This fee applies when users trade via Uniswap Labs’ own frontend interfaces, and is separate from the underlying Uniswap protocol’s liquidity provider and protocol fees. The increase follows an earlier model under which the company charged 0.1%–0.15% on a narrower set of tokens starting in October 2023, later expanded and adjusted over time. The new 0.25% fee reportedly applies to most token swaps through the Uniswap interface and wallet, with exceptions for stablecoin-to-stablecoin trades and wrapping/unwrapping WETH or other pairs tied to the same underlying asset (e.g., USD- or ETH-pegged tokens). Uniswap Labs has framed its interface fee as a way to sustainably fund its operations while keeping the core protocol permissionless and accessible through other UIs, aggregators, or direct contract interaction that do not incur this specific frontend charge. The change matters because it effectively increases transaction costs for users who rely on Uniswap’s official UI and wallet, may push more order flow to third‑party aggregators or alternative DEX frontends, and provides additional non-protocol revenue to Uniswap Labs at a time of heightened regulatory and legal pressure on major DeFi platforms.
