The New York City headquarters is corroborated only by Labs' own blog (April 2024) and CoinDesk (February 2025, "Brooklyn-based"). No current primary document gives a physical address: the SEC business address (Monsey, NY) dates from June 2020, and the notice address in Labs' API Terms is a private mailbox (228 Park Ave S, PMB 44753). Hayden Adams' US status at founding is also unsourced.

Record history
2026-09-14 · review opened
Review opened to confirm Uniswap Labs' current headquarters address with an official document.
2026-09-14 · correction
Series B lead corrected to Polychain Capital (was Paradigm); dead SEC-update source replaced with the Wells-notice and closure posts; DUNI (Wyoming DUNA) governance entity added; unsourced audit and Series A annotations removed. Headquarters evidence corrected: the New York arbitration venue in the Terms of Service and the 2020 SEC business address no longer count as headquarters evidence, and the API Terms notice address is a private mailbox. The New York City headquarters now rests on Labs' own blog corroborated by CoinDesk. Delaware incorporation added from SEC EDGAR, the NY Department of State, and the API Terms. Added Uniswap Labs' July 2026 written input to the SEC Crypto Task Force.

About Uniswap
Uniswap is a decentralized exchange protocol developed by Uniswap Labs (Universal Navigation Inc., Delaware). The SEC issued Uniswap Labs a Wells notice in April 2024 and closed its investigation without action in February 2025. In November 2025 Labs and the Uniswap Foundation proposed UNIfication, which turns on protocol fees and moves most Foundation staff to Labs under a service agreement with DUNI, Uniswap governance's Wyoming DUNA.
