To clarify: At no time will Dharma control the voting rights of the UNI to be distributed in the retroactive airdrop.
If the retroactive distribution passes, UNI will be transferred from the Community Treasury to the merkle disbributor (see the code above).
Once the UNI is in the merkle distributor, anyone can submit a proof to claim UNI from the distributor, transferring the UNI from the distributor to the individual address. UNI in the merkle distributor cannot vote.
After UNI is claimed by one of the addresses in the merkle distributor, those UNI can be delegated for voting by the address owner.
The community has requested that Dharma give users the ability to vote / delegate votes using UNI in their Dharma wallets. We are investigating the feasibility of this feature.
But again, at no time will Dharma control the voting rights of the UNI to be distributed in the retroactive airdrop.
