The second proposal will be [Dharma’s retroactive Uni distribution - Phase 1](https://gov.uniswap.org/t/announcing-dharmas-intention-to-propose-the-retroactive-uni-distribution/7450).

Initially, I was against this proposal:

- I’m generally against airdrops as I view them as an inefficient way to spend resources
- UNI holders don’t benefit from the airdrop
- some bad actor signaling happened during the first proposal: no announcement + a rider that lowers the quorum to the ‘convenient’ number.

But when it comes to the essence of the Phase 1 proposal, it suggests rewarding past users of Uniswap that used **application integrations on top of Uniswap** , mainly MEW, Argent, and Dharma.

I do consider these users as **Uniswap users**.

All Uniswap users before 1st Sep 2020 received an airdrop of 400 UNI.

I think it makes sense to **reward past users evenly**. And I think it’s a small price to pay (5m UNI) to achieve a slightly **fairer** initial distribution.

Also, it does decentralize the supply distribution a little, which is a good thing at these early stages - not distributing anything would create a honeypot.

So I will **vote Yes to the Phase 1 Proposal**.

I do not benefit from it, I will not receive an airdrop.  
As a matter of fact, I’ll be slightly worse off as it dilutes UNI’s value a little bit - but so will any other distribution, so we probably should be ok with that.

I think it is the right thing to do. And it aligns with the statements I made in my delegation pitch: **this proposal does have a positive effect on community building** , albeit it is somewhat sprayed.

However, I do not consider people who used Dex aggregators (mainly Kyber, 0x, and 1inch) as Uniswap users, so **I will vote against the Phase 2 Proposal**.

==

P.S. As my modus operandi part of the pitch is not realizable within the current system, I encourage you to view this topic more as a voting blog.

Self-delegating is currently a better option.

Delegating to me would mean that you’d have to trust my judgment calls, as you can’t revoke your votes once the voting has started.
