Uniswap Labs proposes a shorter temporary swap fee and an X Layer fee-release fix

A 6 November Uniswap Labs governance proposal would limit how long an extra swap fee can persist after a large price move on Ethereum. It also proposes repairing a separate mechanism that has prevented accrued X Layer protocol fees from being released.

Labs says the VolatilePair hook's temporary fee can affect ordinary later swaps. Its proposed Ethereum limit is one block; Uniswap's Robinhood Chain deployment already uses two blocks. This is Uniswap infrastructure, not a new Robinhood retail product.

On X Layer, Labs says fees have accrued correctly but a bridge mismatch has prevented their release and the corresponding UNI burn. It proposes a compatible releaser and an initially higher threshold that would decline towards 2,000 UNI over roughly six days after execution.

Both changes remain proposals. Snapshot voting is planned for on or shortly after 13 November, followed by an onchain vote. Labs says audit reports will be added before the onchain proposal. Expected improvements to swap flow are project expectations, not measured results from an upgrade already delivered.
