[Temp Check] Protocol Fee Expansion: Eight More Chains and Remaining Mainnet V3 Pools
Vote: FOR
Rationale: Voted FOR this proposal to expand protocol fees to the following 8 chains: Arbitrum, Base, Celo, OP Mainnet, Soneium, X Layer, Worldchain, and Zora. And to enable protocol fees on all v3 pools via a new tier-based v3OpenFeeAdapter on mainnet and the above L2s.
The fee burn mechanism activated under UNIfication is live and working — a searcher burned 4,000 UNI within 24 hours of activation, claiming ~$39,500 tokens from the TokenJar contracts.
Expanding to these 8 chains is the logical next step. The bridging infrastructure needed to route fees back to mainnet for burning was already built and battle-tested for Unichain sequencer fees.
Rationale: In alignment with the Snapshot vote, Axia continues to support the expansion of protocol fees to the following 8 chains: Arbitrum, Base, Celo, OP Mainnet, Soneium, X Layer, Worldchain, and Zora.
[RFC] Governance Process Upgrade: Establishing a Statute of Limitations for Temperature Checks
Rationale: Establishing a 90-day expiration date for off-chain proposals that do not move on-chain is a prudent mechanism. It ensures that every published proposal still aligns with the DAO’s current sentiment.
Treasury delegations served an important purpose when governance participation was low and quorum was often at risk. Now, with DUNI driving significantly higher turnout and a larger distribution of voting power, it makes sense to move toward a more organic delegation structure. That said, time will tell if votes will continue to meet quorum. Note: Axia is one of the delegates who received a treasury delegation.
Rationale: Axia voted FOR this proposal to continue the protocol fee rollout by expanding fee collection and UNI burn infrastructure to Polygon and BNB Chain, while completing Celo’s activation through the corrected cross-chain governance path.
This is a logical continuation of UNIfication and the prior protocol fee expansion votes. The burn mechanism is live and working: fees accumulate in TokenJars across chains, searchers call release(), UNI is burned, and TokenJar assets are distributed. Since the first release on Dec. 29, 2025, the system has already produced meaningful burn activity across Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Unichain, and OP Mainnet.
For this vote, I also created an updated graphic to make the mechanism easier to understand. The first graphic explains the original protocol fee collection flow and first UNI burn. The new graphic summarizes verified burn counts from Dec. 29, 2025 through May 20, 2026, showing how the Firepit/Releaser system has continued operating across active chains.
Expanding to Polygon and BNB Chain makes sense given Uniswap’s multi-chain footprint, while Celo should be completed because governance already approved its inclusion and the prior execution issue was a configuration problem rather than a policy rejection.
As more chains are added, delegates should continue monitoring cross-chain messaging complexity, burn activity, and protocol revenue by chain. But based on the continuity with the existing fee framework, unchanged fee levels, and the fact that the burn system is already operating as designed, Axia supports this proposal.
