Introduction

Hello, Uniswap community! I’m PEPO, a dedicated supporter and tokenholder, eager to bring my experience and commitment to the Uniswap DAO as a delegate. As the founder of Seed LATAM (fka DeFi LATAM) and Wonderland, I have a background in building impactful DeFi communities and advancing strategic, high-level governance in the decentralized finance space. You can catch me on Twitter as @0xpepo, where I’m known for sharing spicy takes, occasional rants, and big-picture insights into the future of DeFi and governance.

My goal with the Uniswap DAO is to champion a clear and bold vision: to position Uniswap as the Trading Hub of the Internet. I believe Uniswap’s unique potential lies in becoming the premier platform for seamless, trustless asset exchange across the web. This vision drives my approach to governance—focusing on initiatives that bring Uniswap closer to this role. Anything that doesn’t push the DAO toward this direction, enhancing Uniswap’s position as the go-to hub for global trading, I will consider a distraction from our true mission. I’m here to ensure Uniswap stays on course to reach its full potential.

My Delegate Approach:

As a delegate, my mission is to serve tokenholders by advocating for governance that upholds Uniswap’s values and priorities. I aim to make decisions focused on effective, functional governance that reflects the broader interests of both the Uniswap protocol and its community. I won’t be playing politics; instead, my focus will be on creating and supporting proposals that add lasting value and ensure the DAO functions smoothly.

Why Delegate to Me:

  1. Big Vision, Pragmatic Execution: My experience in DeFi has taught me the importance of balancing high-level strategy with practical execution.
  2. Community-Building Background: As a founder of DeFi LATAM and DeFi Wonderland, I’ve engaged deeply with DeFi communities and understand the importance of inclusivity and transparency.
  3. Activist Mindset: I’ll approach governance as an advocate for smart, meaningful changes that serve the Uniswap community’s long-term goals.

Key Governance Values:

  • Transparency: Clear communication about proposals and actions to keep tokenholders informed.
  • Efficiency: A focus on governance that prioritizes function over politics, to ensure processes work for all.
  • Community-Driven Decisions: Dedicated to amplifying the collective voice of Uniswap’s tokenholders.

I’m excited to work with all members of the Uniswap DAO as a delegate. Thank you for considering me to represent your interests, and I look forward to contributing to the growth and success of Uniswap.
