Just want to provide some more clarity here. We’ve been in close contact with Getty through this process, although the recent forum posts may not seem to display this. As the accountability committee finalizes its conversations, the majority of the feedback we’ve received from target chain has been, well, more disappointing than we hoped. Most are not looking to match our incentive package, unfortunately. They’re open to co market on X, but providing liquidity or incentives seems to be a no-go for most chains. To that end, these multi chain expansions seem primarily to hinge on the Uniswap dao. It’s up to us to decide whether or not we’d like to expand into these markets with more force, even if the target chain isn’t willing to contribute to this initiative. The accountability committee will remain in close contact with these teams in case any forms of reciprocity arise.
I’ll be putting in a Yes vote shortly for this proposal since, as a potential bull run ensues, it’s ideal for Uniswap to be well-positioned across these deployments.
Another note–chains aren’t exactly incentivized to match this program. They have Uni v3 forks that are native to their ecosystem that naturally attract new users. It’s akin to Uniswap, an established brand, expanding to a “new country”–but that country is more focused on supporting its “local businesses”. The edge that Uniswap has is brand. People can rely on a trusted product that’s uniform no matter where they go. The target chains see value in this secure brand. Many of their own users will only want to use Uniswap due to this value proposition. BUT the main issue here is front-end. The value of a front-end for retail is perhaps the most important aspect behind reliability and familiarity, and that’s a large reason why chains don’t want to double down with us regarding incentives. I’m not too sure how we can immediately address this. The current direction is using Oku. Target chains, however, are not quite as comfortable with this. I just wish we could do some type of white labeling with Oku and Uni Labs. It’ll be interesting to see how the BNB incentives do since that deployment is on the Labs front-end.
