ABOUT

StableLab is a governance firm focused on professional delegation, DAO framework design, and product development. We work with various projects, from the ones just starting their journey to decentralization to the most prominent DeFi protocols.

Our systematic framework for DAOs covers governance methodologies, decentralized workforce, implementation, documentation, communication, and community engagement. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, but we provide a framework of principles and tools we have developed throughout our experience.

We scale DAOs sustainably.

EXPERIENCE

We are the leading professional delegate team with a track record across major DeFi protocols, including MakerDAO, Optimism, Aave, 1inch, Balancer, Element, InstaDapp, Hop and more.

We pioneer delegation work through high governance standards, extensive research, hands-on expertise and the consistent use of a code of conduct. Pushing forward web3 and DeFi since 2018, StableLab’s co-founders previously spent 3.5 years at the Maker Foundation.

Voting Update
Deploy Uniswap V3 on Moonbeam (2023)
Voted No
Conflict of Interest: N/A
-Considering Moonbeam already has backed away from its grant promise “the previous $2.5M commitment by the Moonbeam foundation to the Uniswap Grants Program (UGP) has been omitted due to difficult market conditions.” It seems reasonable that the team might back away from its commitment even further. In addition, the chain seems not active enough to require Front end integration

Voting Update
Making Protocol Fees Operational: Initial deployment chain
Voted Polygon
Conflict of Interest: StableLab is Delegate at Optimism
-Considering Uniswap on Polygon has been active for the longest, believe it makes sense to try with Polygon first if it will be proposed

Making Protocol Fees Operational: Asset to be held in the treasury
Voted DAI
Conflict of Interest: StableLab is Growth AVC member at MakerDAO (DAI)
-Considering ETH and UNI are volatile, stablecoin would be preferred and DAI is more censorship resistant than USDC

Making Protocol Fees Operational: Fee options for V3
Voted No Fee
Conflict of Interest: N/A
-We would want to see more studies and research done from risk analysis team first

Voted No
Conflict of Interest: StableLab is part of Accountability Committee

ARB Distribution Proposal Poll
Voted Create a UNI-ARB Working Group and Combined Liquidity Incentives
Conflict of Interest: part of proposed UNI-ARB Working Group

Voted Abstain
-Don’t have strong opinion on it and therefore abstain.

Voting Update
[Temperature Check] Deploy Uniswap V3 on Scroll
Voted no
Conflict of Interest: StableLab is part of Accountability Committee
-As it’s a newer chain and there’s no direct incentive for uniswap, we vote no.

Voting Update
Migrate the Celo Uniswap V3 Factory Contract owner from Optics to Wormhole
Voted Yes
Conflict of Interest: StableLab is part of Accountability Committee

Voting Update
[Temperature Check] - Deploy Uniswap V2 on all chains with V3
Voted Abstain
Conflict of Interest: StableLab is part of Accountability Committee
-While we understand the reasoning behind it, we also believe that it might be difficult to maintain and additional resource required

-Considering the community is interested in funding such initiative to increase liquidity, we support in favor

Voting Update
[Temperature Check] Deploy Friendly Fork of Uniswap V3; ZERO Protocol on Polygon zkEVM
Voted No
-The more I think about it, I realize this is a very one sided deal. Uniswap is a protocol with TVL over 3 billion USD with great reputation and users. Retro on the other hand is much smaller and their market, although they say has increased, is 7 million. And by Uniswap agreeing to such endoresement as friendly fork, there’s a large risk of Zero Protocol using it as promotion for Uniswap is endorsing their protocol. Now of course, there’s a chance that they might become widely successful but the risk is high and the upside for Uniswap is limited. So this deal benefits Zero Protocol much more than they benefit the Uniswap Community

Voting Update
Create a UNI-ARB Grant Program (UAGP) and Protocol Delegate Program
Voted Yes
-We would have voted to abstain if there’s an option. But since there’s not, we vote in support as we believe there should be a group to oversee the grant program to ensure transparency and accountability
