Uniswap founder Hayden Adams posted on the X platform in response to the controversy over the v4 fee switch, clarifying that "the reduction of LP fees" is a misunderstanding; the protocol fees are additive rather than deductive, and LPs still earn 30 basis points per transaction.Regarding the claim that "the protocol takes 25% of LP profits," he stated that on a 30 basis point pool, the protocol fee is 5 basis points, accounting for about 14% of the total transaction fees, and LPs have not lost any of their earnings. Hayden Adams also pointed out that centralized exchanges charge 100 to 200 basis points per transaction, making Uniswap's 5 basis point fee at the 30 basis point level 20 to 40 times cheaper. He also criticized some forked projects that charge 100% transaction fees but use uneven inflation set by token voting to "compensate" LPs.
