Both can concentrate liquidity around selected prices. A familiar range tool does not mean both pools have the same fee rules.
Under Ramses’ fee-only default, LPs share $95 of every $100 in trading fees. The selected Uniswap example gives LPs $83.33. Pool settings determine the split.
A larger share of a smaller pot can earn less. Pool activity and your share of active liquidity determine your fee income.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
Ramses fee-only LPs share $95. In the Uniswap v3 0.30% example, with its documented protocol fee enabled, LPs share $83.33.
That is $11.67 more for Ramses LPs in this example. These amounts go to LPs collectively; each position receives its own share.
Key idea: Check the pool’s current settings. The fee split alone does not tell you how much you will earn.
Ramses CL and Uniswap v3/v4 support concentrating liquidity at selected prices. Ramses also documents DLMM price-bin pools on Robinhood Chain. Uniswap v4 supports custom pool behavior through hooks; specific hooks can change the underlying accounting. These are different designs rather than a universal ranking.
Under the documented Ramses fee-only default, LPs retain 95% of gross swap fees. Under the Uniswap v3 settings compared here, fee-enabled 0.30% and 1% tiers allocate one sixth to the protocol, leaving 83⅓% for LPs. Fee-enabled 0.01% and 0.05% tiers allocate one quarter to the protocol, leaving 75% for LPs. These are pool settings, not permanent rules for every deployment. These percentages divide fees; they are not annual returns.
The relative uplift is (Ramses LP share ÷ Uniswap LP share − 1) × 100. With equal gross fees, (95 ÷ (100 × 5/6) − 1) × 100 = 14%; (95 ÷ 75 − 1) × 100 ≈ 26.7%. Subtracting the shares instead gives 11⅔ and 20 percentage points.
The equal-gross-fee example isolates the fee split. If Ramses captures less trading activity, the dollar amount available to its LPs can fall below the Uniswap comparison. An individual position receives its portion of eligible active liquidity, so deposit divided by total pool value is not enough to compare concentrated positions.
A separate v4 worked example uses a static pool without a hook, with the policy from executed proposal 100 applied and no pool override: a 0.30% LP fee setting and a 0.05% protocol charge. v4 charges the protocol first, then the LP fee on the remainder. Core fee-rate rounding gives a 0.3499% combined fee: approximately $34.99 on a $10,000 input, with $5 going to the protocol and $29.99 to LPs. Normalized to $100 in combined fees, LPs receive about $85.71. This is a worked configuration, not a live pool quote; token rounding can cause tiny differences. Hooks, dynamic fees, and overrides need their own comparison. Uniswap Labs interface fees are separate from these pool fees.
Uniswap’s September 2026 StablePair announcement concerns a v4 dynamic-fee hook, initially for USDC/USDT and USDC/USDG on Ethereum. It adjusts the swap fee to market conditions and does not change the v3 protocol-fee split above. Do not extend the 14% or 26.7% claims to StablePair or v4 generally. Different fees and trading activity can change actual income; evaluate each pool separately.
Start with $100 of gross swap fees on each venue. Ramses allocates $95 to LPs. The enabled Uniswap v3 0.30% / 1% example allocates $83.3333: Ramses retains $11.6667 more, a 14% uplift. The enabled 0.01% / 0.05% example allocates $75: Ramses retains $20 more, a 26.7% uplift. To match the first LP allocation, Ramses needs $83.3333 / 0.95 = $87.7193 of gross fees.
Ramses needs about 87.72% of the gross fees in this case, or about 78.95% against the 75%-retention case. If Uniswap protocol fees are off, its LP allocation is $100 and Ramses instead needs about $105.26 of gross fees. All examples exclude token value changes, rewards, costs, and differences between individual positions.
“Every Uniswap pool pays LPs the same share of fees.”
The split depends on the version and pool settings. The documented fee-enabled v3 examples leave LPs 83⅓% or 75%; when the protocol fee is off, LPs keep 100%.
“A percentage of swap fees is the same as an annual return.”
A fee share divides trading fees, not your deposit. Trading volume, swap fee rates, time in range, competing liquidity, token values, rewards and costs affect actual returns.
“Uniswap v4 never charges protocol fees.”
Specific v4 families on named chains have activated protocol fees. Check the pool’s current policy.
“A higher fee share guarantees more money.”
The amount of fees generated and your eligible liquidity share also matter; profit includes token values and costs.
“The 95% LP share applies to every Ramses pool.”
It is the documented fee-only default. Gauged pools have a different reward path.
Uniswap LPs share about $83.33, while Ramses LPs share $76. The larger Ramses fee percentage is outweighed by fewer gross fees in this example.
