UAC Season 3 Application

Governance-Meta
1

The onchain vote to renew the Uniswap Accountability Committee (UAC) has passed. We will commence with the election of two new committee members. This present forum post will serve as the space for candidates interested in applying to the UAC to submit their applications. For a detailed account of the type of work that the UAC conducts and will plan on undertaking during Season 3, please read the Season 2 Report.

Committee Details

  • The UAC will consist of 5 people for increased work capacity and multisig security.
  • Budget for the number of hours a month is 30 hours/month @ $200/hour
  • For foreseeable seasons, we are adopting a staggered election system to retain three current members on the committee—this helps sustain momentum and continuity with existing projects. We believe a degree of stickiness with the UAC team is important since conducting the noted operations requires subject matter expertise and familiarity with the DAO.
    • Going forward, the UAC will internally decide which members will be reelected, that is if two members don’t voluntarily not run again.
    • Season 3 will last for about 6 months, through March 2025.

Eligibility Criteria

You are only allowed to apply as an individual—not as an organization, using your DAO-recognized name and identity. Although you may be associated with an organization, it is important to have representation from a designated point-person to ensure clear accountability. Multisig operations are also less obscure when dealing with a single individual, and since the UAC is responsible for escrowing and deploying large amounts of funds, this will increase trust from the DAO.

Application Logistics

  • If you wish to apply for a position in the UAC, please comment on this post by completing the below application template. Please keep responses brief and to the point.
  • The application deadline is Tuesday, October 1st @ 12am UTC.
  • All applicants meeting the outline requirements will be included in a Snapshot vote.
  • The Snapshot will run for 5 days, between October 2nd - October 7th.
  • The top two candidates will become active UAC members for S3.

Voting Fairplay (Max Matching)

  • If you or anyone from your organization is applying for a UAC position, you are not allowed to designate 100% of your voting power to the candidate in question. The maximum self-voting % allowed is 50%, and this amount must be at least evenly distributed among other candidates. The maximum self-vote percentage in any scenario must be matched equally with at least one other candidate.
  • Example: if you self-vote with 50% of your voting power, you must give one more candidate the other 50% (max matching 50%). If you self-vote with 25% of your voting power, you may divide the remaining 75% among as many candidates as you like, as long as one other candidate also receives 25% (max matching 25%). The self-vote % is simply your own voting cap that must be matched at least once with another applicant.
  • This setup introduces a cap to self-voting, while simultaneously giving a degree of priority to yourself, as we understand that you would not be applying if you didn’t feel like a qualified candidate. This is something that was “soft consensus” decided when some issues arose with the treasury working group vote a few months ago.

Occupation: Strategy and Growth Lead at Nucleus

What is your motivation for applying to this working group?

I’ve seen the impact which this committee has had over the past year and I am more than excited to have an opportunity to join. Over time it appears that the major role of the UAC has been to support expansion and growth of Uniswap through various efforts like supporting new deployments, working groups, and DAO financials. If I am elected in the UAC I look forward to continuing these efforts, especially as they relate to expanding the reach of v4.

Please list your association, history, and contributions to the Uniswap protocol or DAO:

I run the @pennblockchain delegation to Uniswap DAO. Under this position my responsibilities have been involved with voting, decision making, collaborating with other delegates, and managing communications with the Uniswap Foundation.

Aside from the upkeep of our voting platform, I have also sought to be as involved as possible with the DAO in efforts focused on researching the future of the DAOs governance and financials. These include:

  • Edge City Governance Games - Sponsored by the Uniswap Foundation and hosted by Butter DAO, we explored a lot of innovative methodologies for voting mechanisms and applications of governance.
  • GovSwap 1 and 2 - I was present at both GovSwaps that have been hosted by the Uniswap Foundation so far (Denver & Brussels).
  • UTWG - I was voted into the Uniswap Treasury Working Group by the DAO earlier this year along with @AbdullahUmar @karpatkey and @StableLab. Since then we have worked together to create a framework for allocating and diversifying the Uniswap DAO treasury.

Briefly provide an overview of any other working groups or teams that you have been a part of in the past:

Briefly provide an overview of any role that has required you to operate as a multisig member:

As a member of the Nucleus core team I am required to monitor multisig transactions and sign as soon as possible after transaction verification and simulation. The kinds of transactions we deal with vary. Some of the actions I sign for include:

  • deploying new smart contracts
  • pausing old smart contracts
  • managing capital/defi strategies
  • adding or removing signers

This responsibility requires the management of multiple multisig wallets.

Conflict of Interest Declaration:
I am a core team member of Nucleus and a member @pennblockchain in charge of multiple other delegations including Compound, Renzo, Origin, & Stader.
