UAC Season 4 Application

Governance-Meta
1

The onchain vote to renew S4 of 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 4, please read the Season 3 Report.

Committee Details

  • The UAC will consist of 5 people for increased work capacity and multisig security.
  • Max budget for the number of hours a month is average 40 hours/month.
  • Season 4 will last for about 7 months, through EOY 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 Wednesday, May 21st @ 11:59pm UTC.
  • All applicants meeting the outline requirements will be included in a Snapshot vote.
  • The Snapshot will run for 5 days following the application period.
  • The top two candidates will become active UAC members for S4.

Voting Fairplay (Max Matching)

  • We will be introducing the same model as last season. 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 in prior votes.

UAC Season 4 Application

Legal Name: Sov

Country of Residence & Time Zone: USA, Pacific Time (UTC-7)

Occupation: Sales/BD + Program Design/Management

What is your motivation for applying to this working group?

My cross-ecosystem perspective from managing programs and serving in different roles would bring insights to UAC’s accountability work. As Uniswap continues to scale its mission, strong accountability mechanisms become increasingly vital for maintaining protocol integrity and community trust.

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

I authored a comprehensive research report on Uniswap’s Grant Program that was cited in the official UGP retrospective. I worked with CryptoStats to help them secure a grant from Uniswap, guiding their process. I’ve created and maintained resources, including LlamaoGrants, Blockworks Grantfarm, and Crypto Grant Wire, all of which have been mentioned and have helped drive awareness of the Uniswap Grants Programs over the years.

Briefly provide an overview of any other working groups or teams that you have been a part of in relation to a DAO:

Within the Optimism Collective, I currently serve as the govNERDs Lead and previously served on their Grants Council in Season 6. As ENS Public Goods Steward, I oversee treasury allocation and ecosystem support initiatives. Additionally, I’ve maintained delegate roles across multiple major DAOs and, through my work with Gitcoin, have participated in various other working groups and programs for both the Gitcoin Grants Program and partner programs.

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

I’ve been responsible for primary multisig operations at Gitcoin, managing Safes across multiple chains, and coordinating. This includes understanding proper security considerations and coordinating time-sensitive transactions. I’m familiar with multisig tools like Safe and it’s various forks (ex. Protofire) and I know the importance of rigorous security practices when handling multisig transactions.

Conflict of Interest Declaration:

In addition to the roles mentioned above I currently hold positions at Gitcoin and serve as a delegate for multiple DAOs, including Velora (previously Paraswap). I’m committed to transparent communication, clear rationale, proactive disclosure, and will recuse myself from any decisions where potential conflicts might arise.

Legal Name: Jordan Karstadt ( DonOfDAOs – https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordankarstadt/ )

Country of Residence & Time Zone: United States (EST)

Occupation: Founder at Event Horizon and Professional Delegate

What is your motivation for applying to this working group? (max 3 sentences):
My commitment within the context of the UAC and DAO governance broadly is to expand enfranchisement, grow community inclusion, and strengthen transparency. At Event Horizon, we built an end-to-end metagovernance platform entrusted with as high as $16M in delegations and processed over half a billion dollars worth of votes on behalf of (and at no cost to) the retail voters of 10 different DAOs. To continue these commitments as a UAC member, I will emphasize personal communication by making my calendly publicly available to any and all delegates and community members (starting now: calendly) as well as publishing monthly reports on my contributions, insights, and UAC-facing perspectives.

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

As founder of Event Horizon, I have championed voter inclusion and innovative governance explicitly by looking past access by capital means alone – token-weighted voting alone is insufficient, as some of the brightest minds and greatest contributions may be held by individuals with $50 or less. For more context, if interested, I have linked my work on Implicit Delegation , Voter Specialization, and Agentic Governance.

1600Ă—148 32.8 KB

Building on this philosophy, Event Horizon joined the Uniswap voting body in November of 2023 and has since provided tens of millions of dollars of UNI voting power to the average Uniswap retail voter, across 55 proposals, with 100% uptime and at no cost to the voters or the DAO. Opportunities such as the UAC provide critical communication channels for the community to engage with the direction of Uniswap absent millions of dollars of voting power. I am here and fully available to help facilitate this.

Briefly provide an overview of any other working groups or teams that you have been a part of in relation to a DAO (limit to most relevant):

Beyond Uniswap, I’ve partnered with a wide range of leading DAOs and foundations including Arbitrum DAO and Foundation, Compound, Gitcoin, Origin, Optimism, Scroll, and more. Through these partnerships, I and the Event Horizon team have been entrusted with millions of dollars worth of DAO-sponsored delegations and functions as the largest metagovernance and AI governance protocol across all 10 DAOs it operates.

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

I serve as a multi-sig signer on all wallets tied to Event Horizon’s metagovernance operations across the DAOs mentioned above. I also sit on the oversight committee for the 7,000,000 ARB community delegation pool, which I co-steward alongside the Arbitrum MSS.

Conflict of Interest Declaration:
Event Horizon operates with a strict commitment to credible neutrality akin to other vote infrastructure providers like Snapshot or Tally. As such, I do not anticipate conflicts of interest. However, I will fully recuse myself from any matters directly involving Event Horizon.
