Tally Q2 2025 Update:
Hello everyone! Taking over these updates from @dennison moving forward - by way of a quick intro, Cliff here, and I recently joined Tally as Head of Strategy, and was previously leading governance in Arbitrum and dYdX.
Q2 of the Tally <> Uniswap service agreement has officially concluded, and we wanted to share our updates.
Seatbelt Integration
Our headline in Q2 is the successful launch of Seatbelt inside Tally’s Uniswap proposal pages! Seatbelt is the security-simulation framework co-developed by Uniswap Labs and ScopeLift that runs:
- a full Tenderly replay of every live proposal,
- checks contract verification,
- decodes calldata,
- runs Slither static-analysis, and
- produces a human-readable report.
Since June 21, 2025 every Uniswap proposal on Tally now carries a “Security Report” tab that exposes this information directly in the UI, and is archived in the Uniswap Foundation fork of the seatbelt repository. The integration draws on the original Uniswap Labs specification and ScopeLift’s technical blueprint for cross-DAO simulations.
In practice, delegates no longer need to open GitHub or Tenderly to understand what a proposal will do; the full state-diff, external-call trace, and any Slither warnings are visible alongside the “Discussion” and “Transactions” panels before a vote is cast.

Analytics
The public Tallylitics dashboard and the Tally Analytics metabase dashboard shows that forum engagement declined slightly in Q2, which could be attributed to a lighter on-chain calendar.
-
Roughly the same number of unique posters contributed as in Q1, and the 2 most-visited discussion threads centred on the DUNA wrapper and fee-switch design.
-
Internal analytics from our Metabase dashboard register nine new proposals and 815 unique voting wallets between 1 April and 30 June, a single-digit percentage dip from Q1 that tracks the broader market’s quieter spring. Signature or gas-relayed ballots continue to represent about one-fifth of all votes, suggesting that UX improvements made earlier in the year have retained users.
On the reliability front, Tally recorded a 100 % application and API availability for the period, and a 99.984% uptime for custom domains. Specifically,
- The Tally API experienced issues for 3 seconds on Jun 12, 2025 at 08:10pm CEST due to a severe Google Cloud outage, and
- Custom Domains were down on 2 occasions - the first on April 29, 2025 for 13 minutes, and the second on Jun 2, 2025 for 6 minutes. The Uniswap DAO, Uniswap Foundation, and the Uniswap Accountability Committee (UAC) did not surface any issues during these outages.
UAC page
We started building out the UAC page to increase visibility on Tally in Q2, but got feedback during the process that we should find a way to do it in a more privacy preserving way. At the moment, we’ve paused work on it while we reassess next steps forward.
Monthly Office Hours
Community engagement through live calls has not met expectations, and attendance has averaged fewer than ten participants. As flagged by @dennison in the Q1 update, the feedback from delegates in office hours has been that this is not 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.
To ensure responsiveness without imposing on delegates’ calendars, we will instead commit to a first reply within 2 business days to any question posted in the Tally Uniswap Communication Thread. If the UAC or wider DAO still prefers monthly calls we are, of course, happy to continue hosting them.
Looking ahead - Q3 and Q4
Looking ahead to the second half of 2025 we are likely going to be working 2 streams of work, and will work closely with the UF and UAC on priority setting.
- Extending Seatbelt support for L2 transactions.
- Supporting the DUNA and fee switch implementations.
During July we will solicit priorities from the Foundation, the UAC, and top delegates, and the resulting Q3-Q4 roadmap, with concrete milestones will be posted in this same thread.
As always, we welcome feedback and stand ready to iterate!

As a cool callout, Tally shipped clarity.tally.xyz, a free regulatory-intelligence hub that tracks the CLARITY Act and other U.S. rule-makings in real time to help Uniswap contributors stay ahead of the policy curve. We’d love for the Uniswap community to have try this AI tool out, and are looking forward to getting feedback on whether this is useful, and how we can improve this moving forward!
