Cycle 3 Application Details

Application Eligibility

  • There will be about a week-long period for candidates to submit their applications from the time this application is posted on the forum. The application window will end Tuesday March 4 at 0:00 AM UTC (7:00 PM ET Monday March 3). The top 15 delegates will be determined based on a point system outlined below.

  • Delegates from Cycle 2 must apply again for Cycle 3–they will not be automatically included.

  • Only delegates who have participated in onchain voting for at least three months prior to the application post are eligible for Cycle 3.

Uniswap Delegate Reward Cycle 3 Metrics

In case there are more than 15 eligible applicants, the top 15 will be chosen by the following objective metrics. The highest number of available points will be 11.

1. Voting Participation

Since a delegate’s primary role is to utilize voting power from delegators and vote in Uniswap’s best interest, active participation is essential to ensuring quorums are met and malicious proposals are thwarted. This category carries a total of 7 points, with onchain voting weighted more heavily due to its ability to directly impact governance contracts and direct treasury funds. The voting rate is evaluated based on the past six months.

Offchain Voting (Snapshot)

90% and above: 3

80% to 90% : 2

70% till 80% : 1.5

60% till 70%: 1

50% till 60%: 0.5

50% or below: 0

Onchain Voting

90% and above : 4

80% till 90% : 2.5

70% till 80%: 1.5

60% till 70%: 1

50% till 60%: 0.5

Below 50%: 0

2. Proposal Authorship

Contributing to proposal drafting for Uniswap DAO is valuable, but maintaining quality and preventing malicious proposals is equally important. As a result, only successfully passed votes are counted. This category is worth a total of 3 points, with onchain proposals receiving greater weight once again.

For non-binary proposals, if a “No” equivalent option was available and the final voting outcome was a choice other than “No,” the proposal qualifies for points in this category. For example, the Uniswap Treasury Working Group (UTWG) Election would not be eligible, as there was no “No” vote option. However, the [Temp] Uni Onboarding Package - BSC would qualify, since an “Against” option was present, and the final outcome was “$1M.”

Authored or Co-authored a proposal that passed offchain (Snapshot) vote before.

Yes, 2 or more: 1

Yes, 1: 0.5

No: 0

Authored or Co authored a proposal that passed onchain vote before

Yes, 2 or more: 2

Yes, 1: 1

No: 0

3. Community Participation

The full point for this category is 1.

Community Calls (attendance for September, October, December 2024 & January - Feb 2025)

Attended at least 80% of calls: 1

Attended at least 50% of calls: 0.5

Tie Breaker

  1. Ties will be decided by the date of the first onchain vote that these applicants cast in order to reward delegates who have been contributing to Uniswap governance for an extended period. The tie-breaking value will be determined based on the end date of the vote in which the delegates participated, not the onchain date when the vote was cast.

  2. In the event of a tie with the first tie-breaker criterion, priority will be given to the delegate who has cast the most votes in the last 6 months.

  3. In the event that the tie persists further, the final decision will favor the delegate who was first to present their delegation platform—hence, priority will be given to the individual/entity who first publicly declared their intention to become a delegate.

Applicant summary–briefly explain why you’re interested in applying for this Delegate Reward Initiative:
Since 2021, BEN has been a champion for onboarding diverse voices onto Uniswap governance through running our own delegate, hosting various governance calls and voting on several proposals with 70+ students participating from over 13 universities around the world. We also assisted several blockchain clubs, including Rutgers, Blockchain at Michigan, and Penn Blockchain, in setting up their own Aave, Uniswap, and Compound delegates through educational workshops with Harvard Law and Berkeley and direct connections to interested parties like a16z who wanted to delegate their voting power to more student groups.

We have had a considerable impact in Uniswap governance over the years. Through this program we hope to have a continued sustained model to grow our impact, educate the community, drive more participation, and create more tangible results for the Uniswap ecosystem.

Applicant summary–briefly explain why you’re interested in applying for this Delegate Reward Initiative:
Currently, DeFi DAOs face several internal issues, such as voter apathy leading to governance attacks, insider voting, and voting concentration among a few active voting addresses.

Additionally, they face external challenges like regulatory uncertainty.

I believe in a decentralized future, even if it seems naive.

However, the current state of crypto is plagued by misaligned incentives that prioritize short-term speculative gains over the core DeFi values of self-sovereignty and custody.

Equally concerning is the trend of McKinsification in DAOs, where decisions are increasingly made by one or two professional consultant delegates. This discourages individual participation, as their opinions and votes have less impact.

To make DeFi DAOs viable, we must align incentives to encourage active participation in governance from the broader crypto community.

I believe that community must be at the core of every DAO.

Without giving the community a say in protocol governance, we’re no better than the Web2 companies we aim to replace—companies that view their “community” merely as users to extract value from.

I will support initiatives that align token holders with the protocol, such as revenue sharing or other methods to bring value to the token.

Token holders are frustrated with exploitative tokenomics that only benefit early insiders who acquired tokens at much lower prices, leaving no upside for new investors. Without incentives to buy and hold tokens, the attractiveness and health of DAOs decline.

Finally, I will highlight key votes and decisions of the DAO on X and my blog, as I believe the general public is often unaware of important actions being taken.

Applicant summary–briefly explain why you’re interested in applying for this Delegate Reward Initiative:

I’m a senior researcher at Chaos Labs, fascinated with the Uniswap protocol, professionally and academically involved with it since 2021. I have participated in Uniswap governance since July 2023, with near 100% voting rate, and have maintained active presence in the forum. My conflicts of interest are minimized, since neither I’m nor my employer is a service provider for the DAO, nor I am professionally affiliated with DeFi protocols unrelated to Uniswap, which makes it fair to be compensated for my time spent on its governance activities here.

Keyrock is active across a variety of on-chain ecosystems and DAOs, providing expertise to scale and grow the next generation of finance. Governance is a crucial yet overlooked process, and delegates play a vital role in shaping the trajectory of Uniswap. We believe the first phase and second of the delegate incentives were successful, resulting in higher forum participation, increased vote turnout, and attracted more delegates interested in contributing to the Uniswap DAO. We have been very impressed with the recent depth of discussion and passion coming from various delegates and are excited to continue contributing to the DAO.

Applicant summary–briefly explain why you’re interested in applying for this Delegate Reward Initiative:
I am deeply engaged with Uniswap’s ecosystem, with a track record of dissecting its governance, market dynamics, and operational challenges. My critical thinking skills shine through in my ability to identify flaws in vague initiatives, trace financial implications, and propose reasoned alternatives. I understand DeFi’s technical and economic underpinnings, enabling me to evaluate proposals with precision and skepticism where warranted.

What do I bring to the table?

  • Rigorous Proposal Analysis: I question assumptions, demand specificity, and expose gaps, ensuring only well-defined, high-impact ideas move forward.
  • Focus on Evidence and ROI: My decisions are grounded in data and outcomes, not sentiment. I assess whether initiatives offer measurable returns for stakeholders.
  • Challenging the Status Quo: I’m not afraid to push back on flawed logic or entrenched interests.
  • Clarity Amid Complexity: I dig into complicated proposals—like funding plans or protocol changes—and pull out the key points so everyone can see what’s really going on.
  • Strategic Risk Assessment: I weigh risks against rewards meticulously.

Applicant summary–briefly explain why you’re interested in applying for this Delegate Reward Initiative:

Michigan Blockchain is an organization run by students at the University of Michigan. Our main goal is to educate students about blockchain and prepare them for roles within and outside our organization including governance, consulting, and investment. We have been involved and active in the Uniswap governance ecosystem for around three years now, and are also involved in governance across other DAOs. We think this program does a great job in incentivizing governance participants to first, consistently vote, and more importantly, make more informed voting decisions. We also appreciate that this program incentivizes engaging in discussion with community members, and is crucial in involving a wider pool of delegates to suggest improvements and share ideas about the protocol.

Applicant summary–briefly explain why you’re interested in applying for this Delegate Reward Initiative:

We are applying for this cycle of the Delegate Reward Initiative to deepen our engagement in Uniswap DAO’s governance. Our consistent participation—through proposal discussions, governance calls, and voting—reflects our commitment to the DAO’s long-term success.
