Uniswap founder Hayden Adams said the previous owner of Uniswap.com sought a seven-figure payment, but his team refused to buy it. Sam Bankman-Fried later purchased the domain for seven figures and redirected it to a forked project.
Adams said the domain was eventually obtained for free by Bankman-Fried's legal team because of its malicious use. The episode adds a domain dispute to the wider legal and business fallout surrounding FTX and its former founder.
