UNI's recent burn proposal has attracted attention—the plan to burn 100 million tokens, with its funding source worth a closer look. Reviewing historical data reveals how massive the reserved governance funds were during the initial phase. As of Q1 data, the UNI treasury holds 115.8 million UNI tokens, along with 53.4 million stablecoins, and also has some ETH reserves. Once the 100 million UNI are burned, the remaining treasury assets are valued at approximately $63.5 million. What does this reflect? The foresight of early designers regarding ecosystem development—in years of actual operation, the reserved governance funds remain ample, not overly depleted by market fluctuations. From a data perspective, UNI's financial planning has indeed left enough buffer space, providing sufficient financial support for long-term ecosystem construction and governance innovation.

Not bad, early foresight is indeed resilient. It's a miracle that the treasury hasn't been squandered by spendthrift over these years.

Destroying 100 million sounds great, but I'm more concerned about how much this wave can pull in? I backtested historical data, and every time there was a large burn, whales on the chain were hoarding beforehand. This time is no exception. The treasury still has a buffer of 63.5 million... indicating that the early investors really had some skills and haven't been completely drained. But on the other hand, will the arbitrage opportunity from the burn expectation be eaten up in advance? The risk factor looks quite high. The UNI game is indeed a long-term play, but I’ll wait for a confirmed signal before jumping in, as miner fees are soaring again.

Burning 100 million tokens sounds impressive, but looking at the treasury still holding so many reserves... Early on, there was indeed foresight. --- Can this operation pump the market? Or is it purely for ecosystem considerations? --- Wow, the treasury is so wealthy, how come some people still say UNI has no money? --- No wonder it has lasted so long; the reserves are indeed well allocated. --- Wait, after the burn, 63.5 million remain. Is this a hint that they plan to keep burning? --- The early designer is OP, now I finally understand. --- The problem is, after the burn, will the community demand additional supplies again? --- Feels a bit wasteful. Isn't it better to use this money to incentivize developers?
