The below response reflects the views of L2BEAT’s governance team, composed of @kaereste and @Sinkas, and it’s based on the combined research, fact-checking, and ideation of the two.
The discussion around the fee switch has been going on for a few years and we’re excited to see this proposal being brought forward by Uniswap Foundation. Overall, we’re supportive of the initiative to activate the fee switch and start directing some of the protocol fees to stakers and people who delegate their UNI.
We are aware if the discussion regarding the lack of a setOwner() function which would allow governance to make amendments to the current implementation if needed, as discussed here. We were part of the group discussing this issue during GovHack in Denver and briefly discussed it with @eek637 as well. While we find this discussion important, it does not affect our overall support of the original proposal being voted on here.
We’ll be voting in favor of the proposal during temp-check, but we’d like to see the discussion around the setOwner() function be resolved before going to an on-chain vote.
