In its first quarter 2025 financial report, the UNISWAP Foundation announced $140.3 million and $140 million and $12.4 million in new grant commitments.
A report by the UNISWAP (UNI) Foundation on May 23 said that the majority of the revenue came from a $140 million contribution approved by UNISWAP Governance, with the rest coming from interest and dividends. As of March 31, the foundation had $53.4 million in US dollars and stubcoin, 15.8 million university tokens and 257 Ethereum (ETH), totaling about $95 million.
An additional 5 million UNIs were used as collateral for the $29 million loan, allowing the foundation to access cash while limiting market impact. A total of $115.1 million has been set aside for grants, with $99.8 million in 2025 and 2026, and $15.3 million in previous commitments. The foundation also allocated $33.3 million by January 2027 to cover operational and staff compensation.
Of the $12.4 million in the new first-quarter grant, $9.9 million was dedicated to a multi-year program running through 2029. Some grants include repayment options from Unichain Partners depending on your performance goals.

The foundation’s first quarter strategy focuses on strengthening UNISWAP and its layer 2 network, Unichain, as a key infrastructure for global digital finance. Priorities include improving capital efficiency across the EVM chain, funding developer tools and education, expanding sustainable revenue models, and supporting long-term contributors.
Excluding $100,000 in UNI tokens given to staff, the quarterly operating costs reached $1.9 million. Costs include marketing, software, events, legal and consulting fees and salaries.
The update comes after UniSwap achieved several important milestones in early 2025, including the launch of Unichain and a lifetime trading volume of $3 trillion. In February, the Securities and Exchange Commission concluded its UNISWAP Lab investigation without taking action.
The second quarter financial update will be followed by more data on grants, spending and foundation financial position.
