Gauntlet Delegate Platform

Delegation Pitch
21

Adopt The SEAL Safe Harbor Agreement (Onchain)
Vote: For
Gauntlet favors adopting the SEAL Whitehat Safe Harbor Agreement and supporting whitehats to enhance user fund security.

Uniswap DAO Principles (Onchain)
Vote: For
Gauntlet is in favor of the principles outlined in this proposal.

22

Uniswap Delegate Reward Initiative - Cycle 3 (Snapshot)
Vote: For
Gauntlet voted in favor of the Uniswap Delegate Reward Initiative, although we believe significant issues here tailor more toward “participation” rather than actual impact. It’s still a worthwhile experiment worth pursuing.

[Temp Check] Uniswap Unleashed
Vote: For
The Uniswap Foundation has proven to be a critical partner to the DAOs success. Having seen the roadmap presented by the Foundation, Gauntlet has faith in the Foundation to execute it’s duties on behalf of the DAO.

[Temp Check] Unichain and Uniswap v4 Liquidity Incentives
Vote: Abstain
Gauntlet will abstain from this vote as a contributor to the Uniswap V4 Liquidity Incentives proposal. However, we fully support the proposal and believe incentives will be critical to bootstrap liquidity on both V4 and Unichain.

23

Uniswap Delegate Reward Initiative - Cycle 3 (Onchain)
Vote: For
Again, we support a broader and more critical understanding of the DAO’s definition of a valuable delegate. That said, it is a fair initiative for the time being. Our full comments in the proposal thread capture these points specifically.

24

[Temp Check] Saga Uniswap v3 Liquidity Incentives
Vote: Against
Gauntlet has voted against the Saga Uniswap V3 incentives due to the lack of traction on the Saga platform. This proposal remains unclear on the potential value provided to the Uniswap ecosystem given this investment.

Unichain and Uniswap v4 Liquidity Incentives (Onchain)
Vote: Abstain
Gauntlet has abstained from this proposal given it’s role as the chosen service provider to support the Unichain and Uniswap V4 incentives.

Uniswap Unleashed (Onchain)
Vote: For
Gauntlet believes the Uniswap Foundation has proven to be a competent stakeholder in the Uniswap DAO ecosystem and believes the grants program and strategic guidance are critical to Uniswap’s success. We support the funding of the UF, including the increased personnel objectives.

25

Treasury Delegation Round 2
Vote: Abstain
We have voted to abstain from this temperature check, citing below our issues with the proposal’s current iterations alongside our previously communicated concerns. To confidently support this proposal, we would request the following change:

  • A 6-month or 12-month delegation program at maximum, rather than an 18-month delegation. 18 months is too long to go without reevaluation and, more importantly, too long to allow new delegates to be included.

We also do not fully agree with the rationale or criteria for the top 6 delegates receiving greater VP delegation. The scoring criteria do not reflect delegate quality, only participation, and the benefits of supporting certain delegates above others based on slim participation margins are unclear.

26

[TEMP CHECK] BoB Uniswap v3 Incentives Package
Vote: For
Gauntlet believes the data suggests BOB is a worthwhile chain to support given the small investment size. That said, we do believe this program needs to be streamlined and adjusted.

[TEMP CHECK] Establish Uniswap v4 Licensing Process
Vote: For
Gauntlet has voted for this proposal but we feel the need to express that there should be a clear guideline that no payment or compensation from external parties should be awarded to UAC members for the granting of external licenses, and any payments in negotiations should be made public.
