Voted for this proposal by the same rationale provided for the earlier temp check on Snapshot quoted below. BOB has achieved notable traction with plenty of potential to grow as a BTC DeFi hub with Uniswap as the canonical DEX alongside it.
Thank you to the Uniswap Growth Program and BOB team for bringing this proposal to the Uniswap DAO, as well as to Zhixi from BOB for joining this week’s community call and sharing valuable additional context.
Overall, we think this is a well-structured proposal from a promising chain that has already demonstrated commitment and traction. Ranking 5th among Uni V3 deployments even before specific UNI incentives is impressive and demonstrates significant organic interest and PMF. Existing traction obviously de-risks the proposal compared to incentivising a brand new, less proven deployment.
Tapping into the Bitcoin ecosystem represents a significant growth vector, and the potential for BOB as a BTC DeFi hub to bridge BTC liquidity and user activity to an EVM environment specifically prioritising Uniswap is certainly a very interesting proposition and aligns well with Uniswap’s goal of being the universal liquidity layer.
We also appreciate BOB’s commitment to establishing Uniswap V3 as the canonical DEX as well as the pledged incentives, and as we understand it, with additional incentives likely to be added to the campaign later on.
Lastly, as a member of the Superchain it’s worth mentioning that the success of BOB would contribute to the overall strength and composability of that ecosystem, which would benefit Unichain and other Uni deployments within it.
