The Uniswap Foundation recently released its financial report for the first quarter of 2023, revealing a significant revenue stream and strategic grant allocations. The foundation reported generating $140 million from a designated grant approved by Uniswap governance, with additional income derived from interest and dividend earnings. As of March 31st, their total assets reached approximately $95 million, encompassing $53.4 million in USD and stablecoins, 15.8 million UNI tokens, and 257 ETH. 5 million UNI tokens were leveraged for a $29 million loan to provide liquidity without impacting the market. This strategy has allowed the foundation to access necessary funds while maintaining market stability. $115.1 million was earmarked for grant initiatives – $99.8 million allocated to projects in 2025 and 2026, with $15.3 million reserved for prior commitments. Additionally, $33.3 million is set aside for operational expenses and staff compensation until January 2027. During the first quarter alone, a total of $12.4 million was awarded in new grants. Notably, $9.9 million was allocated to multi-year programs that will continue through 2029. Several of these grants include performance-based repayment provisions tied to specific benchmarks, particularly for projects partnered with Unichain Partners. The Uniswap Foundation prioritized strengthening its core infrastructure during Q1 by focusing on the development of Uniswap and its layer-2 network, Unichain. This included improving capital efficiency across Ethereum-compatible chains, bolstering developer resources and education, promoting sustainable revenue streams, and supporting long-term contributions to the ecosystem.
