Uniswap’s airdrop of the UNI token in Sep. 2020 has paid off handsomely for users, with the 440 UNI now worth over $6100 as of Jan. 28.

• Spurred by the release of the forked SushiSwap DEX, Uniswap airdropped 440 UNI tokens to users who had used the DEX up until that point

• The token reached its ATH price of $15.50 on Jan. 7, making it worth $6,820; at current prices, it is worth $6,164

• It only took two days after launch for the UNI token to have the third highest market cap among DeFi tokens

• Following the distribution, the governance community executed multiple proposals related to governance thresholds, which failed to pass

• Since its launch, Uniswap has gone onto become the most popular DEX on the market, with over 109,000 unique traders -- with 1inch trailing far behind with 15,000 traders
