Initiated by the protocol’s Governance Lead, the proposal aims to overhaul Uniswap’s governance system with a focus on rewarding engaged token holders through staking and delegation. 

The Uniswap Foundation welcomed the move, stating that resilient and decentralized governance is crucial for the protocol’s long-term success. The proposed upgrade seeks to reinvigorate community participation in Uniswap’s decision-making processes. A Snapshot vote will take place in 7 days to formally introduce the proposal.

While optimistic about the potential impact, some users raised initial concerns about the “turn fee switch on” mechanism and the inability to reverse once implemented. Questions around short-term thinking and overvaluation risks were also discussed. 

However, the Foundation remains confident in the merits of the proposal which has already sparked major price gains for UNI. 

As Uniswap enters a new era of governance evolution, the coming days will determine community response to this revolutionary development in decentralized finance.
