Proposal: Uniswap Unleashed
Vote: For
Rationale: The four strategic priorities defined in the proposal (scaling network supply and demand, activating revenue, and onboarding core contributors) all contribute to the long-term sustainability of the Uniswap ecosystem. We appreciate the adjustments that were made over the past month based on feedback in the forums. There was some dissent in the forums surrounding the requested budget for grants far surpassing the budget for operations. However, we view this as a sign of operational efficiency rather than a negative. The forum discussion on this topic highlighted that (1) the Uniswap Foundation needs to be funded and (2) there needs to exist strong checks to make sure the allocated funding is being used productively. As seen with the 2024 Community Impact Report, we believe the Foundation will uphold the latter aspect.
Proposal: [Temp Check] Saga Uniswap v3 Liquidity Incentives
Vote: Abstain
Rationale: While we appreciate the efforts of Saga to bootstrap liquidity incentives, we believe it would be smarter for the DAO to be more conservative with its runway for the time being. The Liquidity Integration Layer and the DEX are now only a few weeks old. We’d ideally like to see a longer protocol age and greater than ~38K txs (at the time of writing) on the SagaEVM explorer.
Proposal: Unichain and Uniswap v4 Liquidity Incentives
Vote: For
Rationale: We did not see any significant issues with the proposal. Gauntlet has a strong track record and they have shown an ability to adjust incentives based on performance metrics. It will be important to not only attract an initial cohort of liquidity providers and users, but also to retain them.
