We did not see any significant issues with the proposal. Gauntlet has a strong track record and we think that the concerns over the liquidity incentives are overstated. Gauntlet has shown an ability to adjust incentives based on performance metrics. It’s important to not only attract an initial cohort of liquidity providers, but also to retain them.
The four strategic priorities defined in the proposal (scaling network supply and demand, activating revenue, and onboarding core contributors) all contribute to the long-term sustainability of the Uniswap ecosystem. We appreciate the adjustments that were made over the past month based on feedback in the forums. There was some dissent in the forums surrounding the requested budget for grants far surpassing the budget for operations. However, we view this as a sign of operational efficiency rather than a negative. The forum discussion on this topic highlighted that (1) the Uniswap Foundation needs to be funded and (2) there needs to exist strong checks to make sure the allocated funding is being used productively. As seen with the 2024 Community Impact Report, we believe the Foundation will uphold the latter aspect.
