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)

(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.

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:
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!
