SBF paid seven figures for Uniswap.com domain

• Uniswap founder Hayden Adams has revealed that Sam Bankman-Fried paid seven figures for Uniswap.com.
• The domain was redirected to a Uniswap fork after the original owner sought a seven-figure price.
• Uniswap's legal team has since obtained the domain for free, Adams has said.

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams has revealed that Sam Bankman-Fried paid a seven-figure sum for the Uniswap.com domain.

The original domain owner had asked Uniswap for a seven-figure payment, but the team declined to buy it.

Bankman-Fried then bought the domain for seven figures and redirected it to a Uniswap fork, Adams has said.

Adams has said the domain's subsequent use allowed Uniswap's legal team to obtain it without payment.

The specific purchase price, transaction date and legal proceedings behind the domain transfer have not been disclosed.

The episode has linked Bankman-Fried's former crypto activities with an early branding issue surrounding Uniswap (CRYPTO:UNI).

Adams' disclosure has added new detail to the history of Uniswap.com, although the transaction has not been supported by a publicly disclosed purchase record.
