Uniswap founder Hayden Adams says Sam Bankman-Fried snapped up the Uniswap.com domain for a seven-figure sum after the Uniswap team walked away from a deal. According to Adams, the domain was later used to funnel traffic directly to SushiSwap.

What Hayden Adams Revealed

Adams explained that SBF bought Uniswap.com after talks with the Uniswap protocol team fell through. He claims that after the purchase, the domain started redirecting users straight to SushiSwap.

WIPO’s 2021 Decision

In 2021, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) ruled that using the domain this way was in bad faith and handed control of Uniswap.com over to Uniswap Labs—no buyout required.

What Happened to the Money?

There’s no info on whether the previous domain owner ever got their money back.
