UNI: Protocol Take Rate [%]
Included with Plus.
The share of the fees paid to Uniswap on Ethereum that Uniswap kept as revenue each day.
Why use it. The take rate is the protocol's pricing power: how much of each dollar users pay it keeps for itself. How to read it. Higher means more of the fees stay with the protocol; a jump marks a change in its fee settings or in which of its products earn the fees.
Calculation. Take rate = revenue / fees x 100 for each day. Fees are what users pay to use a protocol: interest paid by borrowers, swap fees paid by traders, rewards earned by staked ether. The supply side is the part paid out to whoever supplies the capital (lenders, liquidity providers, stakers); revenue is the rest, what the protocol keeps; the take rate is revenue divided by fees. Decentralised exchanges (Uniswap v2, v3 and v4, SushiSwap v2): every trade's fee is its value x its fee rate, the value being the side priced as in the DEX volume charts (dollar stablecoins at face value, ether and wrapped bitcoin at CryptoKeyhole's hourly prices; trades with neither are not counted). Rates: 0.3% on Uniswap v2 and SushiSwap pairs, the pool's fee tier on Uniswap v3, and on Uniswap v4 the rate each Swap event reports. The protocol's part: 1/6 of the 0.3% on SushiSwap since 9 September 2020 and on Uniswap v2 since 27 December 2025 (when each factory's fee recipient was set); on Uniswap v3 the pool's protocol fee setting (1/4 or 1/6 of the fee), read from the pool at the end of each range of about 50 blocks; on Uniswap v4 the part of the swap fee above the pool's liquidity-provider fee (pools whose hook sets the fee show no protocol part). The rest goes to liquidity providers. Uniswap v2, v3 and v4 on Ethereum; Uniswap also runs on Base, Arbitrum, Unichain and other networks, not counted. The protocol's part is collected by Uniswap's fee contracts and used to burn UNI (see UNI Burned for Protocol Fees). Uniswap v4 lets a pool set any fee up to 100% of the trade: from 15 October to 8 November 2026, pools charging 10% or more took about 4% of v4's fees (1.4% of Uniswap's) on about $1.1 million of trades. They are counted, since traders paid them. Ethereum mainnet deployments only: each protocol's other networks are not counted, so these are lower than the protocols' worldwide totals. Hourly values: each completed UTC hour once its blocks are final on our node, so the latest hour shown ended one to two hours earlier; a day is the sum of its 24 hours, and the open day is a partial through the latest hour.
