[Temp Check] Mobilizing the Uniswap Treasury
Vote: Launch Working Group
Summary: We support this initiative and think it’s long overdue for the DAO. The proposed structure seems fine and we look forward to the upcoming report.

[Temp Check] Onboard Uniswap to Sei
Vote: Incentivize with $500k
Summary: We support the onboarding of Uniswap to Sei, while their TVL isn’t as large as other chains, we think it’s important to bootstrap liquidity and ensure Uniswap is the dominant DEX for the new era of EVM parallelization.

Update Uni v3/v2 Deployment Process (March 2024)
Vote: Update Process
Summary: While we don’t think the current process needs changing and/or is bad, we are okay with trialling the proposed deployment process to see its effects on governance efficiency. Ultimately, it still should be up to delegates to have meaningful discussions around chain deployments, but the proposed veto method seems sufficient for now. In comparison to other delegates’ views, we don’t see it necessarily as a bad thing that the accountability committee will bring forward proposals as they have a far better understanding of the process and it provides a smoothing onboarding for new chains and their teams.

[Temp Check] Uniswap Onboarding Package - Manta
Vote: For
Summary: We support the recognization of Manta Pacific to v3 deployments and the $250k UNI incentive package. There is sufficient, TVL, and activity for us to feel comfortable spending DAO funds on supporting Uniswap’s growth there.

Uniswap Treasury Working Group (UTWG) Election
Vote: 50% Karpatkey, 25% Franklin DAO, 25% Steakhouse Financial Limited.
Summary: It was awesome to see such a strong turnout with great candidates. Our decision boiled down to the relevant experience each party has demonstrated inside and outside of Uniswap. Karpatkey & Steakhouse look after some of the largest DAO treasuries where they both do an amazing job and have a great reputation. Karpatkey specifically brings a lot of DeFi infra that can be particularly useful to this endeavour. FranklinDAO have proven their ability to provide immense value to DAOs Uniswap and other DAOs, and we think their broad depth of knowledge will be a great addition to the team with their relevant background experience.
