Hi all, We’re excited to restart our weekly coverage of Uniswap governance. Like with [our previous updates](https://gov.uniswap.org/t/governance-weekly-recap/17803), our goal is to condense everything tokenholders and delegates need to know about Uniswap governance - recent and upcoming proposals, hot topics on Discourse and Discord, events, and more - into an easy-to-read weekly summary. We’ll be publishing these summaries here in this thread as well as on our new Paragraph feed.

As of now, **nine proposals** have been made for what to do with the $ARB, including: - Gauntlet posted a [Liquidity Mining Analysis](https://gov.uniswap.org/t/uniswap-liquidity-mining-analysis/21416) in the forum, which examines the results of an “incentives experiment in which UNI incentives were distributed to liquidity providers (LPs) of specific Uniswap pools on Optimism.” They concluded that “the results from the Phase 2 Optimism experiment in general support the thesis that a sustained impact can be achieved by liquidity mining through the liquidity → volume bootstrapping mechanism for some pools,” which contradicts existing research pointing to liquidity obtained through these incentives did not stick around. - [The fee switch discourse continues](https://gov.uniswap.org/t/making-protocol-fees-operational/21198/33), albeit less intensely than two weeks ago when GFXLabs’ Snapshot polls were live. GFX Labs has indicated that they will use the results of [these three Snapshot polls](https://gov.uniswap.org/t/making-protocol-fees-operational/21198/28) to inform a formal Temperature Check vote, which has not yet been introduced. On May 31st, a16z - which has thus far opposed turning on a fee switch - [signaled that they will provide an update](https://gov.uniswap.org/t/making-protocol-fees-operational/21198/29) on their research on the topic some time in June. ### 📰 Stakeholder/Delegate News - [Keyrock](https://boardroom.io/voter/0x1855f41B8A86e701E33199DE7C25d3e3830698ba) updated their delegate platform based on their recent voting activity. [View it here](https://gov.uniswap.org/t/keyrock-delegate-platform/21243/3). ### 📅 Upcoming Events There are no upcoming events. ### 🔮 Upcoming Votes There are no upcoming votes in the queue. **Quick Gov Links** : [Governance Overview](https://gov.uniswap.org/t/community-governance-process-update-jan-2023/19976) | [Uniswap on Boardroom](https://boardroom.io/uniswap/overview) ---

Since its launch on March 14, 2023, usage of the Filecoin Virtual Machine has grown quickly. There have been 808 contracts deployed and over 130,000 transactions have been made, with active contract users increasing by [184.5%](https://dashboard.starboard.ventures/fvm) since April 1st. This proposal seeks to create a fork of the Uniswap v3 code and deploy it on the FVM.

Here are some highlights: - The Uniswap Foundation highlighted their work on the use of cross chain bridges for governance with a [post linking to the report](https://gov.uniswap.org/t/uf-bridge-assessment-committee-results-framework-and-evaluations/21512) and a [post providing commentary](https://gov.uniswap.org/t/uf-bridge-recommendations/21513/1) on the current status of Uniswap’s Avalanche and Celo deployments given that the bridges used therein did not meet the requirements outlined by the Bridge Assessment Committee. - The [OntologyNetwork](https://gov.uniswap.org/t/deploy-uniswap-v3-on-ontology-evm/21224)[posted a proposal](https://gov.uniswap.org/t/deploy-uniswap-v3-on-ontology-evm/21224https://gov.uniswap.org/t/deploy-uniswap-v3-on-ontology-evm/21224) “to integrate Uniswap V3 with the Ontology EVM, backed by a liquidity provision of $2M USDT and a $1M USDT liquidity incentive from the Ontology Foundation to encourage early liquidity on the Network.” ### 📰 Stakeholder/Delegate News - StableLabs updated their [delegate platform](https://gov.uniswap.org/t/stablelab-delegate-platform/21240/5). ### 📅 Upcoming Events There are no upcoming events. ### 🔮 Upcoming Votes There are no upcoming votes in the queue.

## Weekly Update - June 26, 2023 _Welcome to the Uniswap Weekly Update, your guide to what’s happening in Uniswap governance._ * * * ### ⌛ Key Points - The community governance process to determine how to use Uniswap’s 4.4 million ARB tokens is progressing with an expected Snapshot vote on Wednesday, June 28th. The Gauntlet and Gamma teams have combined their competing liquidity incentive-focused proposals into a single joint proposal. - A Temperature Check vote to deploy Uniswap on Fantom passed on June 24th. * * * ### 🗳 Proposals - [[Temperature Check] Deploy Uniswap v3 on Fantom](https://boardroom.io/uniswap/proposal/cHJvcG9zYWw6dW5pc3dhcDpzbmFwc2hvdDoweDk4ZTA4ZDk0ZTExNzRiMGJmYTIzNTBjNjE2ZDNjZjJmYjhmNWU1NmM1NmMwM2RjMGFlNThmZDI5YTZiMjkyNjU=) - _Summary_: A proposal from Blockchain@Columbia, with the [Fantom](https://fantom.foundation/) and [Axelar](https://axelar.network/) teams, to deploy Uniswap V3 on Fantom Chain. Blockchain@Columbia argues that with Uniswap’s Business Source License expiring, “it is crucial for Uniswap to establish market share in other ecosystems.” Fantom’s $450m TVL and steady growth makes it a worthy target market for Uniswap. According to the proposal, the Fantom Foundation and the Axelar team will handle backend deployment of the smart contracts at no cost to Uniswap, which will be responsible for frontend deployment. - _Proposer_: [blockchaincolumbia.eth](https://boardroom.io/voter/0xdC1F98682F4F8a5c6d54F345F448437b83f5E432) - _Status_: Passed on Saturday, June 24th - _Note_: An onchain proposal will be introduced once contracts have been audited. ### ✍ Forum Highlights - Over the past few weeks, the Uniswap community has been [deliberating what to do](https://gov.uniswap.org/t/request-for-proposals-arb-distribution/21287/35) with the 4.4 million ARB tokens that Uniswap received in the Arbitrum airdrop. More detail on each of the proposals can be found in our previous two Uniswap governance updates, [here](https://updates.boardroom.io/uniswap-weekly-update-june-12,-2023) and [here](https://updates.boardroom.io/uniswap-weekly-update-june-19,-2023). - On Wednesday, June 24th, Gauntlet and Gamma [posted in the forum](https://gov.uniswap.org/t/temp-check-combined-liquidity-incentivization-proposal/21545) announcing that they are combining their competing liquidity incentive-focused proposals into one joint proposal. According to the forum post, the DefiEdge and BrincX teams, which had similar proposals of their own, “will join as liquidity managers.” The proposals calls for 2m ARB for the program, just under half of the total ARB held by Uniswap. - Alastor’s proposal to [create a UNI-ARB working group](https://gov.uniswap.org/t/rfc-alastor-w3s-create-a-uni-arb-working-group/21376) is receiving mixed feedback from the community. While there seems to be some [support](https://gov.uniswap.org/t/rfc-alastor-w3s-create-a-uni-arb-working-group/21376/7) for the idea, there is also concern about the [complexity](https://gov.uniswap.org/t/rfc-alastor-w3s-create-a-uni-arb-working-group/21376/8) and [accountability](https://gov.uniswap.org/t/request-for-proposals-arb-distribution/21287/44) of the working group. - Uniswap Foundation governance lead @eek637 announced that he will introduce a “Snapshot with each proposal listed as an option,” on Wednesday, June 26th, adding that “the sum of the ARB requests will be less than or equal to the total amount of the DAO’s grant” and that “delegates can vote for any, all, or none of the proposals.
