The feature automatically checks additional trading sources, thereby broadening the scope of swaps that contribute to UNI burns. This could potentially lead to a more significant reduction in the UNI token supply over time.

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 UNI ≈ ₦9,829.78 (about $7.18), down 0.1% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 3.4% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
