About the Conditional Funding Markets (CFM) category

Welcome to the Unichain growth CFM category!

About the CFMs

One of our primary strategic goals for Uniswap governance is to create a credibly neutral governance system. We believe one way to do this is through developing mechanisms that allow governance to be completed autonomously.

Over the last year we have been working with Butter, who has built an incredible mechanism that uses Futarchy - a form of prediction markets - to leverage markets to determine which grants will provide the most value.

We are excited to be running two sequential CFMs, the first of which will award $100,000 to one lending protocol. This CFM will run from July 7-11 and will resolve 30 days later on August 10th. Projects will be evaluated on their ability to increase Unichain TVL. This is measured using DefiLlama historical daily TVL in USD, including the Borrowed option but excluding Staking, Pool2 and any other TVL option and measures the TVL of each project as a 30-day average. You can learn more about the format of these grants here.
