Summary
GFX Labs/Oku Trade proposes deploying Uniswap V4 on four EVM-compatible networks: Sei, Etherlink, Pharos, and 0G. These deployments expand V4’s footprint, generate protocol fees across new chains, and give hook developers new environments to build on. With Morpho deployed on these networks, the addition of V4 provides a playground for unique financial applications to be developed. V3 is deployed on all chains and acts as the main liquidity hub for the networks.
No treasury spend is requested — GFX Labs covers all costs.
Background
Since 2022, GFX Labs has deployed Uniswap V3 to 30+ EVM chains through Oku Trade, funding and executing the majority of deployments independently. With Oku’s V4 interface complete, we are positioned to continue this expansion.
This proposal covers four chains where the community, liquidity environment, or emerging technical primitives create meaningful opportunities for the Uniswap DAO.
Upside for the DAO
The four networks in this proposal collectively represent a meaningful and growing source of protocol fee revenue for the DAO. Sei recorded $1.5B in DEX volume in Q1 2026 with TVL holding steadily above $50M. With limited competition outside of Sei’s native DEX Saphyre, V4 is well positioned to carve out meaningful market share. Pharos adds further upside — with mainnet recently live and over $100M committed to RWAs on the network, V4 has a clear opportunity to become the primary trading protocol on a chain purpose-built for institutional liquidity.
Applying a 5bps protocol fee across anticipated V4 pool activity at common 5bps and 30bps LP fee tiers, even conservative volume assumptions produce meaningful accrual. If V4 captures 15-20% of Sei’s quarterly DEX volume, that represents roughly $300M flowing through V4 pools and an estimated $150,000 in quarterly protocol fees from a single chain at current activity levels. With Uniswap’s fee switch now active following the UNIfication proposal, every incremental deployment directly contributes to protocol revenue, making low-cost (zero in this case), high-conviction expansions like this the most efficient path to growing the DAO’s fee base.
Proposed Deployments
Sei
Sei is a Layer-1 blockchain built specifically for trading and financial applications. With over $300M in minted stablecoins, predominantly through Ondo’s multi-chain U.S. treasury product, Sei has established a strong and growing foothold in EVM DeFi. The network’s ongoing full EVM migration plan aims to enhance network performance and further position itself as the backbone for institutional-grade onchain infrastructure.
Etherlink (Tezos EVM)
Etherlink is the EVM-compatible Layer 2 of the Tezos ecosystem, backed by the Tezos Foundation, one of crypto’s most established and consistently funded foundations since 2014. Etherlink has developed a notable presence in novel onchain RWA markets, specifically for metals, as exemplified by tokenized uranium (xU308), which can be leveraged as collateral for USDC-backed loans on Morpho. With a focus on bringing unique assets onchain, V4 adds another layer to Etherlink’s growing suite of financial markets. Etherlink is currently undergoing a rebranding to TezosX - a consolidation effort to strengthen and reunify the Tezos brand and act as the primary EVM DeFi environment for the network.
Pharos
Pharos is an EVM Layer 1 focused on RWA tokenization, high-throughput DeFi, and institutional-grade infrastructure. Built and incubated by Ant Group with over $50M in raised capital from investors including Sumitomo, Chainlink, and Flow Traders, Pharos heads into its 2026 mainnet after an exceptional testnet that processed 4.3B transactions across 200 million wallets, with its inaugural RWA vault reaching $50M capacity within days of opening. With Morpho live on the network, combining V4’s programmable liquidity layer gives Pharos the most capable DeFi stack available for institutions looking to move, lend, and trade tokenized assets in a compliant environment at scale.
0G
0G is a modular Layer 1 built for AI and autonomous applications, backed by $290M in funding, with mainnet launching in September 2025. It offers decentralized storage with 2 GB/s throughput and a data availability layer that is significantly faster and cheaper than Ethereum’s. As AI agents and autonomous DeFi protocols grow in prevalence, they’ll need reliable onchain liquidity infrastructure. V4’s hooks to enable dynamic fees, TWAMM, and programmable pool behaviors are a strong fit for AI-driven strategies that require more nuanced market infrastructure than standard AMMs offer. Deploying V4 on 0G positions Uniswap as the default DEX for the emerging agentic economy. 0G is currently incentivizing three V3 pools with $40,000 $0G distributed monthly.
Benefits to the DAO
More protocol fee revenue. Four additional chains means four more sources of fees accruing to the DAO as V4 adoption grows.
Expanded V4 footprint. Each deployment grows the total addressable market for Uniswap — more users, more LPs, more developers interacting with V4 infrastructure.
No cost. GFX Labs handles all technical deployment, maintenance, and Oku interface support. No treasury expenditure, no token subsidies.
Requested Action
GFX Labs requests that the Uniswap DAO:
- Grant GFX Labs a Uniswap V4 BSL
This proposal continues Oku’s role as a reliable execution partner for the DAO — handling the operational lift of the V4 expansion so the DAO can capture the upside without the overhead. More chains, more hooks, more fee generation.
We welcome feedback on the networks, deployment process, or integration timelines.
