Hayden Adams Warns About Fake Uniswap Ads

Uniswap’s founder Hayden Adams warned users about fake ads mimicking the platform and cited a case where a victim lost all their assets. Adams noted that searching for the word “Uniswap” on search engines brings up official-looking fake ads at the top ranks, emphasizing that users connecting their wallets and approving transactions have their funds drained. This warning coincides with January, when $370.3 million was stolen in crypto scams, marking the highest loss in 11 months.

January Scam Statistics and Victim Example

According to crypto security firm CertiK’s data, most of the 40 scam and exploit incidents in January stemmed from a single victim who lost $284 million in a social engineering attack. X user “Ika” shared that they lost their mid-six-figure wallet by clicking a fake Uniswap link in a Google search and described it as “the result of a long chain of bad decisions.” Uniswap has encountered similar fake sites before; in October 2024, Cointelegraph reported copy sites similar to the official one but with altered link buttons.
