Uniswap Growth Program Trial - OnChain
Vote: Yes
Reasoning: Layer 2 ecosystems are currently offering substantial incentives - including Optimism’s $1M annual grants, Scroll’s six-figure ecosystem program, and incentives from Taiko, Mantle, Rootstock, Boba, and Linea. Without a dedicated team pursuing these opportunities, Uniswap is leaving significant capital on the table that could be directed towards liquidity providers and ecosystem growth. AlphaGrowth has demonstrated their capability through successful managing growth of other protocols as seen in their deployment of 1M ARB in the UADP program and role in the growth initiatives at Compound. Additionally the proposal’s timing strategically aligns with Uniswap v4’s deployment, as funds can be used to incentivise the upgraded protocol. A 6-month trial at $75k/month provides a framework to evaluate the team’s effectiveness in capturing these opportunities, and we believe the potential return from incentives is likely to outweigh the program’s cost.
[Updated] Forse Analytics for Uniswap Revitalization and Growth Program - Onchain
Vote: Yes
Reasoning: With Uniswap having deployed over $3.5M in incentives through the Revitalization and Growth Program, having proper data analysis is crucial for evaluating these investments. This improved proposal incorporates key changes from the previous version - reducing costs to $60k while expanding coverage to 4 chains, adding UAC oversight for accountability, and ensuring no overlap with Gauntlet’s research. We previously supported this initiative and these changes only strengthen the proposal by adding more accountability and value.
[TEMP CHECK] - Tally Uniswap Proposal
On Chain - Supporting Tally’s Development and Enhancements for Uniswap DAO Governance
Vote: Yes
Reasoning: Tally has established itself as a critical infrastructure for Uniswap governance, handling 75% of proposal creation and over 55% of on-chain votes in the past 6 months. Alongside this the Tally team is very active and involved in Uniswap governance and has already contributed in various ways including feature delivery, UNI staking support and gasless delegation, demonstrating their value to the Uniswap governance ecosystem. The $250k annual budget over 2 years with quarterly payments through UAC provides proper accountability while ensuring sustained development of critical governance infrastructure.
