Scaling V4 and Supporting Unichain (May 29th)
Onchain Vote: Against
After deeper analysis and community discussion, we changed our position due to accountability concerns. While we still recognize GFX Labs’ technical contributions, the proposal lacked sufficient transparency measures for public funding. Key issues included:
- No commitment to public usage metrics despite requests from multiple delegates
- GFX Labs voting on their own funding proposal, creating conflict of interest concerns
- Emphasis on development tasks rather than measurable market impact for Uniswap
- Lack of clear KPIs to demonstrate incremental trading activity that wouldn’t occur otherwise
We offered conditional support if GFX Labs would commit to quarterly public reporting, governance abstention on their own proposals, and specific measurable targets for V4 adoption. When these accountability measures weren’t accepted, we maintained our against vote.
The decision reflects our belief that public funding should come with public accountability, regardless of the proposer’s track record. We remain open to supporting GFX Labs in future proposals that include appropriate transparency and governance safeguards.
Scaling V4 and Supporting Unichain (May 10th)
Onchain Vote: For
We initially supported this proposal based on GFX Labs’ proven track record expanding Uniswap to 30+ chains and building valuable infrastructure. However, we didn’t conduct as thorough due diligence on this vote since it appeared unlikely to meet quorum at the time. The technical capability and ecosystem contribution were clear, and we viewed V4 tooling as necessary for protocol growth.
Uniswap Accountability Committee S4 Elections
Snapshot Vote: 25% Doo Wan Nam, 75% Jordan Karstadt
Jordan Karstadt (75%): Strong Support
Jordan’s experience managing delegations across 10 DAOs with 100% uptime is commendable. His commitment to transparency (public calendly, monthly reporting) and focus on voter inclusion aligns well with what UAC needs. The work on implicit delegation and agentic governance shows innovative thinking about governance participation.
Doo Wan Nam (25%): Qualified Support
Doo has solid experience as a Uniswap delegate and brings useful cross-protocol perspective from Sky and Compound. However, his application is more conventional and doesn’t show the same level of innovation or community engagement focus that we think UAC particularly needs right now.
Both are qualified, but Jordan is our preferred choice.
