JAKARTA - In a dynamic crypto environment, every new policy has the potential to change the crypto market landscape. One of the most recent examples is the announcement from Hayden Adams, founder of Uniswap's decentralized crypto exchange (DEX). Adams recently announced that Uniswap will introduce a 0.15% token or swap exchange fee on the DEX platform.

However, it is important to note that this cost does not apply universally. Only a certain number of tokens, such as ETH, USDC, and some others, will be charged.

For example, if you swap between the tokens charged at the Uniswap Labs interface on a supported mainnet or layer 2, you will be charged. However, swaps between stablecoins will not be charged.

Frey, a spokesman for Uniswap Labs, explained that the selection of tokens charged was not a decision taken carelessly. Instead, this is the result of holistic considerations and they plan to review and expand this list over time.

The new swap fee will take effect tomorrow. According to Adams, this step is expected to support the development and growth of the crypto and DeFi ecosystems by Uniswap Labs.

However, reactions to this new policy vary. Some support this step because they see it as a reasonable way to ensure the continuity of the protocol. However, there are also those who are worried about the possibility of uneven incentives.

This difference of opinion reflects the complexity of the challenges faced by Uniswap in maintaining a balance between the interests of UNI token holders and Uniswap developers.
