Motoswap Announces Ethereum DEX Launch With Fee Sharing for Traders and Liquidity Providers
Abu Dhabi, Dubai, UAE, September 17th, 2026, Chainwire
Motoswap announces the launch of its decentralized exchange on Ethereum, introducing a trading model built on Uniswap v2’s constant-product mathematics with fees distributed among liquidity providers, traders, MOTO stakers, the treasury and MOTO buy-and-burn.
Robinhood Chain went live in July with Circle’s Arc following in September. This reflects the growing role of EVM networks in onchain activity and raises a question over why the DEX layer sitting on top of them has changed little in years.
According to the company, onchain volume is driven by memecoins and trench traders, by speed and attention rather than by settlement. They claim Uniswap became the default venue for that activity not because it was built for it, but because there was nowhere else to go. V3’s concentrated liquidity was engineered for capital efficiency, which rewards professional market makers who can actively manage ranges and disadvantages participants who cannot. V4 opened the door to customization but changed little about what an ordinary participant receives for providing liquidity or trading, and that same architecture is now being shipped to every new chain that launches. The gap is not liquidity or throughput. It is that major venues treat the trader as the source of fees rather than as a participant, taking fees from the people generating the volume and returning nothing. Motoswap was built on a different assumption.
The launch mechanics follow the same logic. A token deployed through Motoswap opens two pools, TOKEN/ETH and TOKEN/MOTO, with the LP burned inside the launch transaction, nobody holds the claim ticket, so nobody can pull the liquidity, not the creator and not the protocol. Half of that MOTO pool is locked under the token permanently, which means demand for new tokens is demand for MOTO as a matter of mechanics rather than narrative. Creators get the thing Solana solved and the EVM never did: a 0.2% cash cut of their own token’s trades, claimable without ever selling into their own chart. On Uniswap v2 the deployer earns nothing and has exactly one way to get paid, which is to sell. That single plumbing difference is most of why launches went to Solana and stayed there.
The framing is deliberate. Most DEXes were built like an on-chain NYSE, waiting for institutions that never showed up while retail paid every fee and got nothing back. Motoswap is built as a casino on purpose, with the rake wired into the contracts and pointed at the players. Rakeback is a casino word, used knowingly.
Few projects have challenged Uniswap as significantly since SushiSwap’s 2020 campaign, which moved more than a billion dollars in liquidity within a week. Everything since has been forks, aggregators and interfaces, all competing on price or routing while accepting Uniswap’s incentive model as settled law, none of them touching the thing that actually decides where volume lives, which is who gets paid. Motoswap does not ask traders to accept worse execution, bridge somewhere unfamiliar, or trust a new curve. It runs the same constant-product math that carried every major EVM player. The traders get paid for simply executing. A deployer gets paid in cash instead of selling their own chart. An LP keeps the largest slice and farms on top of it. Every seat at the table is better than the seat it replaces. The Motoswap primitive solves the gap, sees the opportunity and revolutionizes the EVM landscape.
About Motoswap
Motoswap is a decentralized exchange built on Ethereum that routes the majority of every swap fee back to the people who generate it. Traders receive Rakeback in cash on every trade, MOTO stakers share protocol revenue, and tokens launched on Motoswap open with liquidity permanently locked. Motoswap is expanding to all major EVM blockchains.
