Tally Uniswap Communication thread

Happy New Year!

Dennison from Tally.xyz here. This will be our official thread that we will use to update the Uniswap DAO about our roadmap, milestones, and goals for the Uniswap DAO as laid out in the Tally Service Agreement Proposal.

This thread can be used to ask questions, suggest features, and generally communicate with Tally in a central spot. This thread ideally should not be used for support requests as we have set up Intercom to help track support requests and issues.

Key info:

Tally API Status + Uptime: https://status.tally.xyz/

To report bugs, the official communication channel is Intercom. This tool will allow us to more effectively track support times and organize our incident response.

Intercom can be found in the lower right-hand side of the Tally website.


Accountability

Quarterly report
Detailing key achievements, including uptime metrics, notes from Community Calls, support metrics, as well as enhancements to the Uniswap DAO’s governance on Tally.

Tally usage
We will continue to track the number of proposals and % of votes per proposal made on Tally and report on those to the DAO.

Roadmap feature usage and requests
As we roll out new features, we will track usage of those features as well as maintain a forum thread in Uniswap where folks can offer feature suggestions.
(We’ve already requested the foundation create a Service Providers Thread where we can report.)

Monthly office hours
An open feedback session for Uniswap DAO contributors to suggest new features and contribute to our roadmap. We’re going to ask the foundation if this could go before or after the community call, but we’re open.

Uptime and availability

  • System uptime: 99% monthly uptime, ensuring the system is accessible with minimal disruptions.
  • Scheduled downtime: Maximum of 2% monthly allowance for scheduled maintenance, communicated in advance.

Response and resolution time
For the response time to count, the report needs to be made through Intercom so we can properly track resolution time. (Obviously, you can still reach out via Telegram.)

  • Incident response time: Initial response within 4 hours for high-priority incidents (e.g., outages) during work hours in the United States, and 24 hours for incidents outside of working hours and low-priority issues.
  • Resolution time: Resolution or workaround within 8 hours for high-priority incidents (e.g., outages) during working hours in the United States, and 24 hours for incidents outside of working hours.

Maintenance and support

  • Bug resolution: Resolution of non-critical bugs within 5 business days and critical bugs within 1 business day. For bugs that are not possible to resolve in this time frame, a post-mortem analysis will be shared with the DAO following resolution.
  • Regular maintenance updates: Regular monthly maintenance updates, including minor upgrades, patches, and performance improvements.

Tally Feature Roadmap (Q1/Q2)

Here is a list of features Tally is working on for its Q1/Q2 roadmap. We’re excited to bring these services and features to the Uniswap Community. We will be holding regular office hours to speak with community members about other features or needs they have.

  • UniStaker: We will operate a UniStaker interface, and if staking passes, we will work with the community to make it a success.

  • Gasless Voting: The previous gasless voting service in Uniswap (Uni.vote) has shut down. We will operate a gas-free voting relayer for the Uniswap DAO. This would allow delegates and voters to participate in Uniswap without spending their own ETH. We will reach out to the foundation and UAC about steps to fund the relayer. This service would be operated as part of the service agreement but requires regularly topping up with ETH to cover relayer gas. Learn more about Tally Relay.

  • Forum Bot: The Tally Forum Bot connects to the forum and updates the community automatically on changes in proposal statuses.

  • Optimistic Governance: We expect to have Optimistic Governance support by the end of Q2. This has been a frequent request by members and delegates of the Uniswap DAO community. This tool can be used for creating more efficient working groups and communities by allowing proposals to pass optimistically while leaving the DAO the ability to veto a proposal. The DAO can start considering where they might want to implement this new Tally feature.

  • Integrating the UAC onto Tally: While we plan to tackle the body of this feature in Q3/Q4, we will start integration in Q2 with some early features supporting the UAC on the Uniswap DAO page.

As members and participants in Uniswap since the inception of the DAO, we are really excited to get started on what is shaping up to be a very exciting 2025!

Update: For Support requests, we can also accept support inbound at: support@tally.xyz
We monitor this quarter to see which tool is more effective.

Uniswap DAO members have spent over $300k in gas fees participating in the DAO.

But no more! The Relayer for Gasless Delegation and Voting is live. So token holder and delegates can delegate and vote at no cost to themselves.

Users can see this when they go to delegate or vote. The minimum threshold (spam prevention) for using this features is 10UNI.

Excited to try it in next votings!

Just for the record, I’ve been in talks with Dennison about getting Tally’s support for a checkbox that would indicate agreement to the Uniswap DAO Principles (and a link to the principles and place where the delegate has disclosed their conflicts of interest).

Support would be much appreciated, as that would allow to include agreeing to the principles as requisite for delegate rewards program, treasury delegation program, etc.

Yeah it’s definitely in our list!

Tally Q1 2025 Update:

Hello folks! It’s been the first quarter of the Tally <> Uniswap service agreement and want to share our updates.

We’ve held monthly office hours (I see you @Sinkas !) where we have had a chance to speak with delegates about our work. Generally the session has been free flowing and lots of freeform discussion around governance, Uniswap, features on Tally and crypto in general. If it wasn’t so early in the day EST time, I’d say it would be a great time to grab a beer and hang out!

Product Improvements:

UniChain Support is live on Tally!

This wasn’t planned on our roadmap but with UniChain going live we moved quickly to support it on Launch. This means people can now deploy DAOs and connect them to Tally to operate them. For future quarters we’re thinking about what sort of tooling we could build to make the process of launching even simpler for teams.

Gasless Voting + (also delegation)


We turned on this feature this quarter and we’ve gotten good feedback that people enjoy the feature.

Preliminary analysis suggests that this feature has been a big success. Looking at Etherscan we can see that there have been about 194 votes cast via signature (the method the relayer users) in the past quarter. Prior to turning on Tally Gasless voting, the next most recent vote via signature was over two years prior. Huge uptake!

We’re working on coming up with a better way to track this kind of usage, so hopefully next quarter we’ll be able to show a bit more of a detailed breakdown across voting types.

Social Layer Analytics (Tallylitics)

http://www.tallylitics.xyz/public/dashboard/f518fef1-a977-4590-a95d-82c4eb04e08e
(ping me if it doesn’t load- I can prepare a PDF version)

This dashboard allows the DAO to explore the off chain social layer of the Uniswap DAO. It tracks forum participants, media, token price, proposals and more. We’ll be expanding this as we get feedback over the next couple quarters. Let us know if there are any ideas about what else we can be tracking. Some feedback we’ve gotten is tracking telegram, adding he ability to set custom date ranges and more. Currently we’re unsure of whether or not we will integrate it with the main Tally product, but thats something we’re considering as well.

UniStaker

While staking isn’t live yet in Uniswap we have worked on an updated advanced staking interface for when it goes live. Some features that will be built into our advanced staking interface:

  • Users can have multiple staked positions
  • Each position can have its own delegate

This opens up the usage of UniStaker as tool for partial delegation as well, and excited additional feature.

Tally Analytics:

Live Dashboard for Q1 2025 (Highlight: $138m transferred on Tally!), some interesting trends have emerged, a high level of (most likely) programatic spam voting is visible on the last three proposals. Perhaps airdrop farming from participants hopeful of some sort of future airdrop.

We’re working on a better way to break down reporting data regarding our metrics, we are going to prioritize this for Q2.

System stats for the Quarter (no downtime!)

Support:

We had two issues we worked on this quarter:

  • Correct quorum reporting for Uniswap to include only ‘Yes’ votes (Resolved same day it was reported)
  • Delegate reported some instances of failed voting transactions (Transient error we could not reproduce)

Community Call Summaries:

January

February

March

In general, we are reconsidering community call summaries. The feedback from delegates in office hours has been this is not a very helpful or useful for the community. The foundation already does a good job making them available on the forum and there isn’t a demand for a transcribed version.

Looking forward:

In Q2 we are re-evaluating some of our deliverables based on feedback we’ve received this quarter. We haven’t made a decision yet but we are considering some alternatives to Optimistic Governance (for example, more robust safe Multisig support, and security sprint in light of the recent SAFE hack). In general we expect the roadmap as detailed in this forum thread will be a bit flexible to remain nimble and responsive to DAO needs. But we will keep the community informed!

Thank you everyone!

Thank you @dennisonb for the update! The Social Layer Analytics dashboard provides valuable insights that could greatly inform future iterations of programs assessing delegate engagement and their contributions to the DAO.
