The Uniswap (UNI) Foundation has unveiled the "Duna DAO" structure, a groundbreaking development that finally unlocks the much-anticipated protocol fee switch feature. This announcement immediately impacted UNI's price, sending it upward in a noticeable surge.
This novel legal entity, dubbed "DUNI," cleverly integrates the existing Uniswap DAO governance system while simultaneously granting it crucial legal capabilities. These newly acquired powers enable DUNI to enter into contracts with external service providers and ensure complete legal and tax compliance, establishing it as the largest decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) to utilize this legal framework.
A significant allocation of $16.5 million in UNI tokens is earmarked for DUNI to settle past tax obligations and fund its legal defense. Crucially, the foundation anticipates that the IRS payment, including penalties, will remain under $10 million, stemming from a previous oversight regarding corporate tax status.
The Foundation's announcement emphasizes that this transition to the DUNA structure is pivotal, enabling Uniswap to activate its protocol fee mechanism. Consequently, a portion of the liquidity provider (LP) fees will be directed to the DAO treasury. This development represents a significant step forward for decentralized governance and financial management within the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
