Legal Name: Jordan Karstadt ( DonOfDAOs – https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordankarstadt/ )

Country of Residence & Time Zone: United States (EST)

Occupation: Founder at Event Horizon and Professional Delegate

Address: DonOfDAOs.eth

As founder of Event Horizon, I have championed voter inclusion and innovative governance explicitly by looking past access by capital means alone – token-weighted voting alone is insufficient, as some of the brightest minds and greatest contributions may be held by individuals with $50 or less. For more context, if interested, I have linked my work on Implicit Delegation , Voter Specialization, and Agentic Governance.

Building on this philosophy, Event Horizon joined the Uniswap voting body in November of 2023 and has since provided tens of millions of dollars of UNI voting power to the average Uniswap retail voter, across 55 proposals, with 100% uptime and at no cost to the voters or the DAO.

Most recently, I and the Event Horizon team have made large strides in the development of AI and Agentic governance tooling which we will share more on in the near future.

UAC June Personal Update

As committed during the election period, I will be regularly sharing personal updates on my experience within the UAC. These reports are intended to supplement the broader monthly updates by highlighting my individual contributions and reflections, beyond standard operational tasks.

Strategic Content

Part I: Problem Landscape
This month, I focused on researching structural limitations and vulnerabilities affecting Uniswap DAO governance. Specifically, I assessed issues around quorum, delegate activity, proposal thresholds, and barriers to participation. These findings will be published in a series of posts and community call presentations over the coming weeks. The goal is not to be prescriptive but rather to surface potential challenges and spark broader discussion around what the DAO sees as most salient and pressing.

Part II: Solution Exploration
Complementing the above, I’ve also compiled a non-exhaustive set of potential solutions crowdsourced from delegates and community contributors. These are intended to serve as a menu of options for discussion rather than finalized recommendations. Community input will be critical, and I welcome you to add additional suggestions in the forthcoming post.

Operational Integration

Beyond research, this month was valuable for onboarding and orientation. I familiarized myself with core UAC procedures, including ENS registry, chain onboarding workflows, and other key formalities. I’ve also met and begun establishing working relationships with relevant stakeholders, including the Foundation and the Oku team.

Moving Forward

In the coming weeks, you should expect the publication of the content above. Beyond this, and without overstepping into community update material, we will work toward stronger data collection and visualization for key DAO metrics. Speaking as a delegate, and further relevant in light of recent changes to delegation, I believe quorum will be a critical point to be addressed.

Ongoing Communication

As promised, I continue to stand by my open calendar policy. I want the community to understand that the UAC is accessible to them. As such, I encourage you to tap my calendar any time to discuss Uniswap matters, or simply meet and say hello!

UAC July Personal Update

As committed during the election period, I will be regularly sharing personal updates on my experience within the UAC. These reports are intended to supplement the broader monthly updates by highlighting my individual contributions and reflections, beyond standard operational tasks.

Personal Perspectives

Following my work this month, I have grown in conviction that there is strong value in the UAC serving as a platform and spotlight for community contributions, proposals, and initiatives. Through discussions with several builders, as well as through my own personal experiences, I have found that it can be difficult for community builders, particularly new ones, to have their ideas and contributions platformed and distributed broadly enough to impactful. This barrier to distribution and communication serves as a bottleneck on the volume of quality contributions to which the DAO can consider and ultimately decide upon. I believe that through close communications with builders and delegates, as has been experimented with this month, the UAC can function as a trusted, neutral party to both express core considerations and issues facing the DAO as well as spotlight community-grown solutions and initiatives.

Strategic Contributions

Research Publication: I wrote and published the Governance Logistics Improvement report. This document serves to illuminate some of the most critical issues the DAO faces along side community crowdsourced solutions. It is the first experiment in UAC facilitated ideation and community engagement.

Community Engagement: During the drafting of the GLI and through community outreach broadly, I met with several teams on multiple occasions to best incorporate and represent their solutions. These teams included: GFX, Lighthouse, Aragon, and more.

Operational Integration

I continued to garner understanding of key operational functionings and am at this point effectively fully up-to-speed from an operational capacity. To maximize the value of my learning process, I have begun documenting key points and perspectives I’ve garnered along the way to compile a holistic UAC codex. I believe this will be valuable both for future UAC onboards as well as for general community insight into the perspectives and functions of the UAC.

Community Requests

Continuing our intent from last month, the UAC is currently exploring options for a DUNE analytics assessing liquidity cross chain. If you or anyone you have worked with is skilled in DUNE dashboards, please do reach out.

Ongoing Communication

As promised, I continue to stand by my open calendar policy. I want the community to understand that the UAC is accessible to them. As such, I encourage you to tap my calendar any time to discuss Uniswap matters, or simply meet and say hello!
