1. [Temperature Check] Uniswap Deployments Accountability Committee Competition
Vote: All (with different weights)
Summary: I think it was impossible to go wrong with this candidate selection. I voted for all, but slightly prioritized those already with experience in the committee and others that I perceived more experienced in coordinating with the chains.
2. Lower Onchain Proposal Threshold
Vote: Yes
Summary: Will help to decentralize the DAO while keeping the risks minimal.
3. Deploy Uniswap v3 on Rootstock (Bitcoin Sidechain)
Vote: Yes
Summary: In general, I’ve started to favor deploying Uniswap on all chains unless there are significant concerns. DeFi on Bitcoin is an emerging area with high growth potential, and the liquidity incentives provided by the chain are appreciated.
4. [Temperature Check] Uni Onboarding Package
Vote: $250k for most, with Against for BSC and Abstain for Blast and Taiko.
Summary:
Why support: to be clear of the goals of this package, I perceive it is as relatively low-cost package, with the main objective to increase Uniswap’s market share. For that prioritizing the newer chains with smaller incentive amounts makes sense. The investments are only somewhat data-driven, both because many of the chains are simply too new to have reliable trends in their historical data, and because most of the benefits are expected to show up from the future growth of these chains. The initial amount of $250k can be increased later on if the program appears to successful, especially if the chains match this amount in their own incentives, or similar.
Why Against or Abstain:
- BSC is an established chain where Uniswap has been present for significant duration and failed to establish a notable market share. If (and that’s a big if) the DAO thinks it needs to change this situation, a more data-driven approach like the one Gauntlet is doing with Arbitrum would be more suitable, rather than just throwing money at the chain.
- On a different note, since Blast and Taiko are not in the mainnets yet, or even audited yet, so I think it’s premature to allocate anything at this point.
