UNI, monitored: clean today, waiting on the fee switch.
4-year vesting completed Sep 2024. No inflation enabled. No buyback enabled. The fee switch (positive) and the 2%/yr inflation (negative) are the two latent levers.
The two governance levers
Fee switch enablement
Routes a portion of LP fees to UNI holders or a buyback. Single biggest structural catalyst available — debated since 2022.
2%/yr perpetual inflation
UNI's mint() function lets governance enable 2%/yr inflation. Never enabled in 5+ years, but latent.
Confidence. High: total supply + Treasury Timelock balance (read on-chain). High: vesting completion date, fee switch + inflation governance status (per gov.uniswap.org). Foundation grants treasury balance separately funded; not address-enumerated.
