Proposal: Forse Analytics for Uniswap Revitalization and Growth Program
Vote: FOR
Type: On-chain
Rationale: This proposal seeks to allocate 8700 UNI or $60k to onboard Forse by StableLab as a data service provider for the purpose of analysing the impact of the Uniswap Revitalisation and Growth Program on the Arbitrum, Base and Blast networks. As incentive programs and onboarding packages continue to proliferate within the DAO with the goal of increasing Uniswap deployments across different networks, we believe it is equally important to measure the effectiveness of these incentives in attracting and retaining users. This will be critical for designing future iterations of the program and improving outcomes. We also support the retroactive funding approach in the proposal, as it gives the DAO control by tying allocation of funds to completion of deliverables. We view StableLab as highly capable parties, having worked together with them across a number of initiatives. We will therefore be voting in support of this proposal.
Proposal: [TEMP CHECK] - Onboarding Package for Lisk
Vote: FOR
Type: Off-chain
Rationale: While it may seem as if the efficacy of the incentives does not seem guaranteed since Lisk is a small protocol where almost all its users already use Uniswap, there are several reasons to vote in favour:
- Velodrome is going to launch on Lisk and will pose still competition to Uniswap. This program will help consolidate Uniswap’s position as the leading DEX on Lisk and the incentive matching by Lisk cannot be ignored.
- From an economic perspective, @AbdullahUmar’s explanation of the ‘+$83k in costs’ is an interesting way to look at the incentive matching; while this may not definitely be the case, at the very least the costs are not significantly high and seem fair enough to ‘pay’ to cement Uniswap as the leading DEX on an up and coming Superchain focused on a use case with a high TAM.
Therefore, we will vote YES in favour of this proposal.
Proposal: Uniswap Growth Program Trial
Vote: FOR
Type: Off-chain
Rationale: The proposal is very well thought out and comprehensive, targeting areas in Uniswap’s growth funnel that are currently underserved. The scope is well-defined and clear, with outbound BD, marketing, and incentives being a strong 3-pronged approach. AlphaGrowth’s CRM product also looks to be very fit-for-purpose and should help scale Uniswap’s BD and marketing opportunities significantly. The budget of $420k for AlphaGrowth for the activities outlined seems fair, especially for a 15-person team, and given that the budget includes all expenses. The success fee reserve of $500k for the UEII is also a good sign since payments will only be made if the initiative achieves success and is non-dilutive.
All in all, we are strongly in favour of this proposal and will vote YES.
Proposal: Uniswap Growth Program Trial
Vote: FOR
Type: On-Chain
Rationale: This is the on-chain vote for this Snapshot TEMP CHECK that we voted in favour of according to our rationale here. It is extremely encouraging that AlphaGrowth has taken @eek637’s concerns around marketing the incentives and will institute a legal review process for all marketing efforts. This de-risks themselves significantly and we think this is the right step given market conditions.
Proposal: [Updated] Forse Analytics for Uniswap Revitalization and Growth Program
Vote: FOR
Type: On-Chain
Rationale: This is a re-vote of this Tally proposal that we voted in favour of according to our rationale here. We stand with our original rationale and view of StableLab as highly capable parties. Moreover, we think the feedback incorporated is very positive and makes this a good deal for Uniswap.
