UNI Grants Program Now Under UniswapFND originated from a Uniswap governance vote in December 2020 that allocated $1.5M in UNI tokens to seed a six-month grants initiative. Beginning as a minimal viable program aimed at growing the developer ecosystem, it expanded its scope over time to encompass governance research, community building, education, and core protocol work. Over its first 18 months, the program distributed $7M across 122 grants. The Uniswap Foundation has credited the program's ecosystem impact as a direct catalyst for the Foundation's own formation in 2022.

A proposal was also put forward on the program's behalf to direct a portion of OP tokens received by the Uniswap Protocol from Optimism's Governance Fund toward builders working at the intersection of Optimism and Uniswap.
