It’s worth delegates to consider giving out further incentives in the short-term prior to a retrospective analysis of the previous incentive campaigns. The only new incentive package approved after the first half of this year was the Gnosis Chain onboarding. Redstone did not get approval for incentives, nor did X Layer. However, Redstone did not match incentives. X Layer did not match incentives, but they committed $1M of liquidity for a minimum of 6 months–but asked the DAO for $105k for the Oku integration.
The total cost to the DAO for X Layer was therefore $105k. If this Lisk deployment is approved, the DAO will have to pay ~$272k (Incentives + merkl costs), even though they covered the $105k for Oku. Since Lisk is also matching, out of their pocket the cost is $355k (Oku + Matching). So, the net result for Uniswap is +$83k in terms of costs (this is one way to perceive it).
