All votes for September.
On-chain

Proposal to active 2, 3, 4 bps fee-tiers on Base
Vote: For. Following my support in the temp check, I also support this on-chain vote.
I’m of the view that rather that stopping and doing larger amount of research before proceeding, we need to view this change as an experiment that itself is a core part of the research. The results will facilitate modeling the various “what if” scenarios in the future, for this and similar situations. We have a research question, we have some hypothesis, let’s see how it plays out. -
Uniswap Accountability S3 Renewal and Rebalance
Vote: For. For rationale, see the two relevant Temperature Check votes below. -
Forse Analytics for Uniswap Revitalization and Growth Program
Vote: Abstain. The proposals is improved since the temp check, for instance the funding requirements reduced form $70k to $60k and some coordination with Gauntlet apparently has been done, in my view there’s still doubt whether the proposed study will help to answer the core question - has the UGRP been a good investment for the DAO?
Snapshot
-
[Temp Check] - Ethereum Foundation Attackathon Sponsorship
Vote: Do not sponsor. I do not support spending the treasury on public goods funding. -
UAC Renewal S3
Vote: Renew UAC. It’s clear that the UAC has significantly expanded its set of duties, and as a result it seems natural to have a more permanent set of UAC members (to retain institutional knowledge), and to increase the headcount (to manage the increased workload). I do have some concerns that there maybe arise some centralization-of-power risks within the DAO in the future, but don’t think this is an issue right now. -
Approved Budgets Rebalancing
Vote: Approved Rebalance. In my view, it has always been the practice of the various DAO programs denote payments in USD amounts, rather than UNI amounts. For instance, the UNI price has increased in the spring of 2024 allowed the programs to spend less UNI at that time. Since the price has decreased significantly since then, it’s expected that the UNI amounts need to be topped up. -
Uniswap Delegate Race Tiebreaker
Vote: Both (create an extra 16th spot). I’m of the view that we need to follow precedent when such is present. In the previous Delegate Race there was a precedent that the program was expanded to accumulate one extra delegate. Not doing the same here, especially in such a contentious situation, would be arbitrary and capricious.
