Vote: For. This vote is in line with the Sei’s, Manta’s, Taiko’s, and Moonbeam’s onboarding packages that have passed the temperature checks. Sei’s deployment includes $500k in LP incentives (since they’re promised to be matched by the chain), the others $250k in LP incentives.
Vote: For. Same rationale as for the snapshot vote.

Votes: Against + Abstain. The DEF does seem to be doing a good job, however, I voted against this request as asking for public goods funding, and my delegate statement clearly says that I don’t believe the Uniswap DAO should fund public goods. This is both due to neutrality issues, and because these days DEXes have relatively small profit margins, especially compared with L1/L2 projects. Additionally, for someone not based in the US, it’s difficult to evaluate the cost effectivenes. Grant-based approach with clear milestones and requirements, including increased transparency and reporting, would be a better option; funding the current request may send a bad signal on the thoroughness of the DAO with their funds. Contrary to some comments in the forum, I disagree very strongly with the attitude that the DAO should pay talented individuals whatever they ask for, since it has “a treasury of 4 billion”. I abstained in the “Options” proposal since it was not clear if the DEF would accept the different terms and amount.
Vote: Yes, Proceed. I support the program as an initial 3 month experiment, hopefully as a something from which lessons can be learned and more iterations made in the future. Delegate compensation is important, however, ultimately, I’d expect some better solutions over the hard problems presented by such as scheme, such as the conflicts of interest, selection of the “best” delegates for the DAO, and dealing with the overall issues created by the “1 token – 1 vote” governance.
Vote: Deploy without incentives. In general there is little to lose by deploying Uniswap on any legitimate chain. Since the TVL on Redstone is low at the moment, deploying the LP incentives is premature.
