If you're short on time, watch my crypto video below where I break everything down quickly. Otherwise, stick around — I want to share something personal and (hopefully) super helpful about the UNI token, Uniswap, and the new Unichain.

🚀 What’s All the Fuss About UNI?

Let’s start from the beginning: UNI is the governance token of Uniswap , the OG decentralized exchange protocol that pretty much started it all on Ethereum. Over time, Uniswap expanded across multiple Layer 2 networks to offer cheaper transactions — and recently launched its own chain called Unichain, built on Optimism's tech stack.

So what’s cool about Unichain?

• 🔍 It’s cheaper than Ethereum mainnet.
• 🎁 Potential future airdrop? No guarantees, but using it might put you on the radar.
• 💸 Some protocols are already rewarding liquidity providers with UNI tokens.

🧠 Where Am I Putting My Money?

I’ve been looking into different liquidity pools on Uniswap via platforms like Defillama, but here’s where I’ve personally decided to place some funds:

⚡ ETH / UNI Pool

This one feels a bit bold — pairing ETH with UNI — because UNI is more volatile than assets like WBTC or stablecoins. But hey, I'm buying the dip! 😅

Why?

• UNI is near its lowest price in years — under $6 at the time of writing.
• It was trading near $20 not too long ago.
• With Unichain gaining traction and over half a billion dollars in TVL already, there could be momentum building.

Now, before you go all-in (which I’m definitely NOT advising), remember:

• Governance tokens like UNI carry risks.
• ~40% of the total supply is still locked up or controlled by insiders.
• There’s no guarantee of a Fee Switch (like Aave’s) being implemented any time soon.

But here’s my bet: If Uniswap keeps growing (and right now it has almost $4B in TVL ), people might feel increased pressure to buy UNI to participate in governance decisions — which could push the price higher.

💡 Quick Tips for Your Own Strategy

If you're more conservative, try these pools:

• USDT0 / USD – Stable, low risk, modest returns (~10%)
• WBTC / USDT0 – Good if you think BTC will stay flat or rise slowly
• ETH / WBTC – Less exposure to stablecoins, more correlated assets

📌 Final Thoughts

Am I right? Maybe. Am I wrong? Also possible. This isn't financial advice — just what I’m doing right now and why.

Do your own research on:

• Unichain
• How Uniswap works
• The reward systems for liquidity providers, and the impermanent loss of the different pools & versions (v3, v4....)

Then pick the pool that fits YOUR strategy.

Thanks for listening/watching — see you next time! 👋
And as always… stay curious, stay cautious, and keep stacking.
