Uniswap's Major Buyback Proposal: Can UNI Trigger a Value Reassessment?
Uniswap’s latest governance proposal aims to transition the UNI token into a deflationary model by activating protocol fees and implementing a buyback-and-burn mechanism.

Narrative in One Sentence
An AI-hardware-backed stablecoin protocol that lets miners mortgage GPUs for dollars, while depositors chase 13 % “real yield,” double-digit Pendle APYs and a ticket to the next 3-billion-dollar ICO.
1. 30-Second Recap of the Core Engine
Collateral: Bare-metal GPUs, not tokens.
Two coins: USDai (redeemable, off-peg at ≈ $1.03) and sUSDai (auto-compounding, 30-day un-stake, 13.22 % APR).
Three actors: Depositors mint USDai; Borrowers (= growth-stage AI shops) pledge hardware; Curators post first-loss capital and tokenise the risk.
Reward layer: Allo™️ points – 70 % linked to ICO (KYC + cash), 30 % to airdrop (no KYC, no cash). One wallet can’t do both.
2. Why the Smart-Money Crowd is Salivating
Backers: Framework (also led Plasma), Bullish, Dragonfly, Arbitrum – plus the latest cheque from YZi Labs (CZ’s family office).
Strategic tail-wind: Will be a Day-1 app on Plasma’s main-net launch (28 Aug).
Scarcity theatre: 500 m mint cap filled in hours; secondary bid now 3 % premium.
Pendle turbo-boost: LP SY slice pays 42 % APY plus 20-30× Allo™️ multiplier; YT bids even higher.
3. Red-Flag Checklist – The Bear Case
✓ Model risk: Unsecured AI start-ups are the borrowers of last resort; GPU resale value in a fire-sale is untested.
✓ Concentration: 70 % of token supply earmarked to ICO participants – potential float overhang.
✓ Team history: KOL @cryptobraveHQ traces core members to MetaStreet, an NFT project that allegedly rugged in 2022.
✓ Smart-contract heat: Code still unaudited by a tier-1 firm; audits are “in progress”.
4. How to Play It Without Getting Rekt
Wait for the next mint-window (team hinted Q4 raise to 750 m cap). Entering at par removes the 3 % head-wind.
Small-beta Pendle farm only:
Supply USDai/SY → collect 40 % base APY + Allo™️ (ICO track).
Or buy cheap YT-sUSDai if it trades < 0.95 to capture pure point upside (airdrop track).
Split wallets if you want both ICO & airdrop tickets; protocol snapshots are wallet-level.
Size accordingly: Treat as a high-beta punt, not a core stable-coin position.
Hedge tail-risk: Keep borrow-side loops < 2×; avoid locking 100 % net-worth in sUSDai (30-day exit gate).
Bottom Line
USD.AI ticks every 2025 hype box—AI, RWA, stable-coin real-yield and a potential Binance-listing wildcard. The upside is a Plasma-style 50-100× on ICO day; the downside is a liquidation spiral of GPU-backed debt if AI capex collapses.
For most miners of the point meta, a Pendle micro-allocation earns enough carry to justify the ticket. Just don’t mortgage the farm for a GPU farm coin—yet.
