Temp Check - Uniswap Growth Trial
Summary: AlphaGrowth has identified that the DAO’s BD and marketing functions are quite limited in their present form. They have proposed running a six-month trial with a monthly budget of $70K.
Recommendation: For. We concur with AlpahGrowth’s assessment of the DAO and its needs. The DAO’s surface area is large and unattended. It would be beneficial to have a DAO-backed team focused on growing the protocol’s core business. Six months should be a sufficient period for the DAO to evaluate their performance and value to the DAO before considering a longer term.
Onchain - [Updated] Forse Analytics for Uniswap Revitalization and Growth Program
Summary: The StableLab team proposed an updated version of their Forse analytics proposal, reducing the requested amount from $70K to $60K while increasing the chain count from three to four.
Recommendation: For. We debated this proposal. We initially opposed it because we didn’t believe it would produce value relative to its cost. However, the decrease in cost and increase in the chain represents an overall 36% reduction in price. While we don’t expect immense value, we did feel it was in the range of supporting.

Temp Check - Tally Uniswap Proposal
Summary: Tally requested 250K/year for two years for their supporting Uniswap on their platform.
Recommendation: For. Tally has been a critical partner for the Uniswap DAO. In our opinion, this proposal is long overdue. They provide a high-quality service and have done so for years with no compensation. If the DAO were to stand up our service, we would likely spend the same amount and probably produce a lower quality experience.
