November Voting Update
[TEMP CHECK] - Tally Uniswap Proposal
Vote: For
Type: Snapshot
As the usage data show, and as the above comments have illustrated, Tally is the go-to voting platform for many—our team is no exception. We will therefore be supporting this proposal. The pricing also seems to be fair since Tally will not only be taking care of rudimentary voting processes and functionalities, but they’ll also be involved in the development of various governance-related products such as optimistic voting. Plus, they’ve shown their ability to nicely blend UI/UX details with backend smart contracts. This will be interesting to see play out if the UniStaker setup is followed through with, for instance. Quarterly reports and custody of funds with the UAC act as a bonus precaution with this proposal as well.
Supporting Tally’s Development and Enhancements for Uniswap DAO Governance

As per our reasoning during the Snapshot phase, we voted in favor of this proposal. Some numbers have been thrown around regarding the per proposal cost for Tally (i.e. divide the $500k program cost by the number of proposals Uniswap has executed). We don’t think this is a reasonable approach to pricing. There are auxiliary features beyond the mere ability to vote that Tally aids with. Providing a strong front-end that easily allows users to put up proposals, and in the future, enable delegates to interact with smart contracts like the Unistaker should not be priced on a per proposal basis. The mentioned are just a few features that integrate with Tally. The UAC will monitor the effectiveness of the program as well. If the value being provided does not match the costs, we will inform the DAO. We will also rely on delegate feedback regarding Tally’s periodic reports to see if the sentiment around this initiative remains positive.
