We voted in favor since, beyond general considerations regarding a rewards program for delegates, given the critical situation regarding the quorum in the DAO, we consider it vital to approve this proposal to avoid further escalation of this issue.
Our full rationale:
Rationale: We support this proposal and vote in favor as we consider it absolutely essential to renew the cycle and maintain a rewards program for active delegates.
First, because it is fair and reasonable to compensate delegates for their work and the time they dedicate, which results in a more active, robust, and professional decision-making process.
Second, the critical quorum situation—widely discussed in the forum—could deteriorate even further without an adequate program that compensates delegate activity and incentivizes continued participation in Uniswap’s governance. For this reason, we see the approval of this proposal as crucial for the health of the DAO and to prevent quorum-related challenges from deepening.
Lastly, we fully agree with the new additions to the program, which make it more solid and consistent, encourage constant and active participation, and create a skin in the game for delegates—something that had been called for in previous cycles.
