[Proposal] Excluded Proxy Contract Airdrop — Phase 1

While initially I was for this proposal, I’m realizing that there are more complex aspects to this issue.

  1. This would be unfair to people who were not a part of the initial airdrop, yet still bought the UNI token after the launch. Many of them were likely unaware of this proposal, and they bought seeing the value of this project to support it while also hoping to see returns. Since ‘fairness’, ‘not burning bridges’, and building ‘good faith’ within the community (specifically in reference to third party devs) was brought up earlier, I feel this same point should be acknowledged for those in the community supporting the project monetarily, whether individually or in a group.

  2. The difference between proxy users and direct users may indicate the need for a difference in the airdrops, were this proposal to go through.

The best thing would have been for this to have all been accounted for in the beginning, so that it would have been a clean launch. Unfortunately this reminds me of the ETH fiasco that spawned ETH Classic. I think no matter what happens, unity is the most important thing, and that means considering the consequences for all sides, not just developers.
