Uniswap updated its terms on July 8, 2026 to explicitly add sanctions screening and legal compliance representations to its signature page. Users now represent that they are not subject to economic or trade sanctions, not citizens or residents of sanctioned jurisdictions, and that their use will comply with all applicable laws and will not facilitate illegal activity. Two sentences were removed from the agreement regarding legal compliance and dispute resolution notices. The practical effect is that the terms now explicitly require users to certify their non-sanctioned status and lawful use as a condition of using the platform.
The updated terms establish new contractual representations that users must make when agreeing to the agreement. Users now represent that they are not subject to economic or trade sanctions administered by any governmental authority, including OFAC lists, and that they are not citizens or residents of sanctioned jurisdictions. Users also represent that their access and use will comply with all applicable laws and will not be used to conduct or facilitate illegal activity. These representations are legally binding attestations that may be verified. Users in OFAC-sanctioned countries cannot truthfully make these representations and would be unable to use the platform.
The updated terms establish explicit contractual representations regarding sanctions and legal compliance that are binding conditions of platform use. This change operationally means that users in OFAC-sanctioned countries or those subject to sanctions are contractually prohibited from using Uniswap, and users worldwide now make a legal certification of lawful use. The change reflects increasing regulatory scrutiny of cryptocurrency platforms regarding sanctions compliance.
→ By continuing to use Uniswap after July 8, 2026, you are making a binding legal representation that you are not sanctioned and that your use complies with all applicable laws, as stated in the updated terms.
→ If you are a resident of a OFAC-sanctioned jurisdiction, you cannot truthfully make these representations and should not use the platform.
Users must now certify they are not subject to economic or trade sanctions and are not residents of sanctioned jurisdictions.
Users represent that their use will comply with all applicable laws and will not facilitate illegal activity.
This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
When you agree to use Uniswap, you are making a legal statement that you are not sanctioned by the US government or any other government, and that you will only use the platform legally.
Uniswap added explicit sanctions compliance language to its terms of service signature page on July 8, 2026. The updated terms now require users to certify that they are not subject to OFAC or other governmental economic sanctions and are not residents of sanctioned jurisdictions. This change directly engages US sanctions law, specifically the mandate to prevent use of financial platforms by sanctioned persons and entities. Organizations using this platform as part of their compliance infrastructure should note that the platform now explicitly requires user attestation of non-sanctioned status. The change appears designed to strengthen OFAC compliance posture rather than expand user restrictions beyond existing regulatory requirements.
US economic sanctions law (OFAC regulations); potentially IEEPA (International Emergency Economic Powers Act); anti-money laundering frameworks (FinCEN guidance)
