### ⌛ Key Points

- Several _Requests for Comment_ threads regarding what to do with [Uniswap’s $ARB distribution](https://gov.uniswap.org/t/request-for-proposals-arb-distribution/21287) from the Arbitrum airdrop are active in the forum.

- Discussions about the fee switch [continue](https://gov.uniswap.org/t/making-protocol-fees-operational/21198/33) in the aftermath of GFX Labs’ Snapshot polls.

### 🗳 Proposals

- No new or recent proposals.

### ✍ Forum Highlights

- On June 7th, Uniswap received [~4.4m ARB tokens](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSSAzkIIJqw4WGKCF9gXFUkQojTt6weQTExZYmp3YRIR2TUjir9N8nh8xg7gQ2wuPA8mJKL2neL--to/pubhtml) from the Arbitrum airdrop, prompting Uniswap Foundation governance lead [@eek637](https://gov.uniswap.org/u/eek637) to issue a request for proposals from the community on what to do with the proceeds, which are subject to the DAO’s control. 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.
