We took a measured approach to our UAC Season 4 votes—and after weighing all the candidates, we cast ours for: • Doo Wan Nam (StableLab): 50% • Takeshi Ohishi (Tané): 50%
Here’s what led us to support these two.
Why These Two?
Our decision came down to two core things: meaningful experience that leads to results, and the capacity to stay focused without being pulled in too many directions.

Our decision came down to two core things: meaningful experience that leads to results, and the capacity to stay focused without being pulled in too many directions.
Doo Wan Nam – Seasoned, Trusted, and Effective
Doo Wan brings exactly the kind of experience that matters. He served on UAC in Season 1, so he’s already familiar with the demands of the role. Beyond that, he’s been deeply involved with high-impact DAOs like Compound, and has contributed to Uniswap working groups such as UAGP and UTWG.
As co-founder of StableLab, he’s hands-on with governance across 25+ DAOs—and he’s consistently transparent about any potential conflicts. That kind of clarity and readiness matters. We know he can step in and immediately add value.
Takeshi Ohishi – Clear Focus, Operational Strength
Takeshi impressed us with his commitment and operational know-how. He’s not spread thin across too many projects, which means he can bring real focus to UAC. His experience with the Uniswap Treasury Delegation Round 2, plus involvement in DAOs like Optimism, Gitcoin, and Lido, shows he’s no stranger to governance.
He’s also worked with DAO multisigs and understands how things actually get done. And as someone based in Japan, he brings a much-needed global lens to the table.
Together, Doo Wan and Takeshi bring a strong mix of experience and dedication. We’re confident they’ll help the committee stay transparent, accountable, and action-oriented—and we’re excited to see what this new UAC team accomplishes.

My cross-ecosystem perspective from managing programs and serving in different roles would bring insights to UAC's accountability work. As Uniswap continues to scale its mission, strong accountability mechanisms become increasingly vital for maintaining protocol integrity and community trust.
Please list your association, history, and contributions to the Uniswap protocol or DAO:
I authored a comprehensive research report on Uniswap's Grant Program that was cited in the official UGP retrospective. I worked with CryptoStats to help them secure a grant from Uniswap, guiding their process. I've created and maintained resources, including LlamaoGrants, Blockworks Grantfarm, and Crypto Grant Wire, all of which have been mentioned and have helped drive awareness of the Uniswap Grants Programs over the years.
Briefly provide an overview of any other working groups or teams that you have been a part of in relation to a DAO:
Within the Optimism Collective, I currently serve as the govNERDs Lead and previously served on their Grants Council in Season 6. As ENS Public Goods Steward, I oversee treasury allocation and ecosystem support initiatives. Additionally, I've maintained delegate roles across multiple major DAOs and, through my work with Gitcoin, have participated in various other working groups and programs for both the Gitcoin Grants Program and partner programs.
Briefly provide an overview of any role that has required you to operate as a multisig member:
I've been responsible for primary multisig operations at Gitcoin, managing Safes across multiple chains, and coordinating. This includes understanding proper security considerations and coordinating time-sensitive transactions. I'm familiar with multisig tools like Safe and it's various forks (ex. Protofire) and I know the importance of rigorous security practices when handling multisig transactions.
Conflict of Interest Declaration:
In addition to the roles mentioned above I currently hold positions at Gitcoin and serve as a delegate for multiple DAOs, including Velora (previously Paraswap). I'm committed to transparent communication, clear rationale, proactive disclosure, and will recuse myself from any decisions where potential conflicts might arise.

Uniswap DAO is entering a pivotal chapter, with anticipated regulatory clarity, continued improvements in DAO operations, and promising revenue opportunities ahead. By joining the UAC in Season 4, my goal is to help position the DAO for success as we navigate this important phase in Uniswap’s evolution. I see 3 specific objectives that Uniswap DAO should dedicate its resources to: one, growing developer mindshare (specifically on v4 & Unichain); two, strategically expanding distribution channels; and three, strengthening $UNI as a productive asset.
Please list your association, history, and contributions to the Uniswap protocol or DAO:
404 DAO has been a delegate in the Uniswap DAO for almost two years, with an excellent track record of voting and transparency. We have participated in the inaugural Blessing and all of the GovSwap delegate events at EthDenver while also supporting key conversations between builders and relevant stakeholders.

What is your motivation for applying to this working group? (max 3 sentences) I'm applying to join the UAC to enhance transparency and accountability in Uniswap governance, especially around delegate contributions and incentive mechanisms. We believe strong, consistent oversight encourages more meaningful participation from delegates and community members. Our goal is to support fair evaluation standards and help improve the quality of governance discussions.
Please list your association, history, and contributions to the Uniswap protocol or DAO: I and Curia Lab has served as an active Uniswap delegate, regularly publishing our voting rationales on all the proposals. We advocate for transparent, merit-based incentive frameworks and have repeatedly shared constructive feedback on proposal and delegate-ranking models—most notably in support of GFX Labs’ metric-based approach. Beyond Uniswap, our team aggregates and analyzes governance datasets for DAOs such as Optimism Collective, Arbitrum DAO, and Safe DAO. We aim to supply delegates and researchers with actionable insights that strengthen oversight, foster informed discussion, and advance accountable governance.
Briefly provide an overview of any other working groups or teams that you have been a part of in relation to a DAO (limit to most relevant): Our team has worked with multiple DAOs including Optimism, Safe, Arbitrum, and Gnosis - supporting them with proposal evaluations, governance tooling, and research. I'm currently serve on the Optimism Grants Milestone and Metrics Council, where I help grantee define grant KPIs and ensure accountability of their grant milestones in funding outcomes. These experiences have shaped my ability to work collaboratively across stakeholder groups and bring rigor to DAO processes.
Briefly provide an overview of any role that has required you to operate as a multisig member: My experience as a multisig member stems from serving on the Optimism Milestones & Metrics (M&M) Council during Season 7. One of our primary mandates was the secure distribution of grant funds. This involved a multi-step process where, as a council, we first assessed milestone completion. Following internal consensus, I, along with other council members, would then act as signers on our multisig wallet to create, review, and execute the transactions for fund disbursement. We operated with a focus on our internal procedures and were working towards compliance with the Optimism Collective Multisig Policy.
Conflict of Interest Declaration: As being a part of the team deeply involved in governance and DAO operations, we engage with various projects and DAOs such as Optimism, Safe, Arbitrum, Gnosis, etc. to improve their governance. We pledge to maintain transparency and manage any potential conflicts of interest responsibly, especially in our dealings with Uniswap and its community.

What is your motivation for applying to this working group?
As an active participant in Uniswap governance, I hope to contribute in a more official capacity and leverage my years of experience working in DAOs. Between responsibilities like service provider and grantee disbursements, governance community calls, transparency through the Foundation Feedback Group, and managing general DAO operations, the UAC seems right up my alley.
Please list your association, history, and contributions to the Uniswap protocol or DAO:
I was previously the founder of Boardroom (a company that Agora recently acquired), a platform supporting DAOs and protocols with governance infrastructure and tooling. I helped to lead governance advisory and operation roles for large protocol DAOs and specialized in delegate management and governance workflows in previous roles. Now, with Proxy, our team currently works as a governance service provider for multiple protocols (e.g. Moonwell), handling recurring governance operations. Proxy also serves as an active delegate for multiple protocols, including Uniswap. We’ve consistently posted our voting rationale and commented on relevant forum proposals where we could leverage our past experience.
Briefly provide an overview of any other working groups or teams that you have been a part of in relation to a DAO (limit to most relevant):
Proxy is an active contributor to Moonwell. Some recurring operations include publishing weekly and monthly governance reports, managing social media communications with professional editing, hosting and editing governance community calls, and building out governance documentation. Our role necessitates working collaboratively with a diverse set of stakeholders. We frequently engage with and serve as a liaison between core teams, delegates, and the wider community to align objectives. The UAC requires a similar level of cross-domain communication and transparency.
Briefly provide an overview of any role that has required you to operate as a multisig member:
During my years building Boardroom, we operated multiple multisigs across different chains to handle Boardroom's operations and finances. I was also a part of a multisig for Shell DAO. Proxy currently manages a multisig related to managing delegations.
Conflict of Interest Declaration:
I have no direct active conflicts of interest to declare. Proxy does not perform similar roles for any direct competitors of Uniswap. Our collaborations with other DAOs are focused on governance operations and/or acting as an informed delegate. Proxy was recently elected to the Velora Growth Committee. These engagements are in unrelated domains and do not pose a conflict with the UAC’s operations. If any potential conflict of interest were to arise, we would disclose it immediately and take appropriate steps.

What is your motivation for applying to this working group? (max 3 sentences)
As a co-founder of Tané, Takeshi strongly believes in Uniswap's potential beyond being just a DEX and am committed to expanding its horizons, building upon our past contributions. His experience on Optimism's Grants Council and as a Software Engineer at Twitter and a Product Manager at a unicorn startup has provided me with relevant capabilities in ensuring organizational accountability and supporting ecosystem growth, which he believes are directly applicable to the UAC opeations. Furthermore, by participating as Tané, a team with Japanese roots, in such a key role, he believes we can amplify diverse stakeholder voices, thereby broadening Uniswap's own potential and fostering greater global inclusion in its governance.
Please list your association, history, and contributions to the Uniswap protocol or DAO:
Takeshi has been an actively represented Tané, which is a delegate in the Uniswap DAO and a part of the delegate incentive program since Season 2.

Conflict of Interest Declaration:
Our investment arm, as a separate entity, has invested in a number of crypto startups but as of the time of writing this profile, we don’t believe there are clear COIs in terms of contributing to Uniswap DAO. We are also active in the other DAOs, including Arbitrum, Optimism (S7 Milestones & Metrics Council member), Lido, ENS, Morpho, and more.
Takeshi is committed to transparency and will disclose any potential conflicts of interest. In situations where a conflict may arise, he will abstain himself from related discussions and decisions to maintain the integrity of the committee’s work.

Occupation: Founder at Event Horizon and Professional Delegate
What is your motivation for applying to this working group? (max 3 sentences): My commitment within the context of the UAC and DAO governance broadly is to expand enfranchisement, grow community inclusion, and strengthen transparency. At Event Horizon, we built an end-to-end metagovernance platform entrusted with as high as $16M in delegations and processed over half a billion dollars worth of votes on behalf of (and at no cost to) the retail voters of 10 different DAOs. To continue these commitments as a UAC member, I will emphasize personal communication by making my calendly publicly available to any and all delegates and community members (starting now: calendly) as well as publishing monthly reports on my contributions, insights, and UAC-facing perspectives.
Please list your association, history, and contributions to the Uniswap protocol or DAO:
As founder of Event Horizon, I have championed voter inclusion and innovative governance explicitly by looking past access by capital means alone – token-weighted voting alone is insufficient, as some of the brightest minds and greatest contributions may be held by individuals with $50 or less. For more context, if interested, I have linked my work on Implicit Delegation , Voter Specialization, and Agentic Governance.
Building on this philosophy, Event Horizon joined the Uniswap voting body in November of 2023 and has since provided tens of millions of dollars of UNI voting power to the average Uniswap retail voter, across 55 proposals, with 100% uptime and at no cost to the voters or the DAO. Opportunities such as the UAC provide critical communication channels for the community to engage with the direction of Uniswap absent millions of dollars of voting power. I am here and fully available to help facilitate this.
Briefly provide an overview of any other working groups or teams that you have been a part of in relation to a DAO (limit to most relevant):
Beyond Uniswap, I’ve partnered with a wide range of leading DAOs and foundations including Arbitrum DAO and Foundation, Compound, Gitcoin, Origin, Optimism, Scroll, and more. Through these partnerships, I and the Event Horizon team have been entrusted with millions of dollars worth of DAO-sponsored delegations and functions as the largest metagovernance and AI governance protocol across all 10 DAOs it operates.
Briefly provide an overview of any role that has required you to operate as a multisig member:
I serve as a multi-sig signer on all wallets tied to Event Horizon’s metagovernance operations across the DAOs mentioned above. I also sit on the oversight committee for the 7,000,000 ARB community delegation pool, which I co-steward alongside the Arbitrum MSS.
Conflict of Interest Declaration: Event Horizon operates with a strict commitment to credible neutrality akin to other vote infrastructure providers like Snapshot or Tally. As such, I do not anticipate conflicts of interest. However, I will fully recuse myself from any matters directly involving Event Horizon.

Legal Name: Takeshi Ohishi (LinkedIn)
Country of Residence & Time Zone: United States (ET)
Occupation: Co-founder & Head of Network Operations at Tané
What is your motivation for applying to this working group? (max 3 sentences)
As a co-founder of Tané, Takeshi strongly believes in Uniswap's potential beyond being just a DEX and am committed to expanding its horizons, building upon our past contributions. His experience on Optimism's Grants Council and as a Software Engineer at Twitter and a Product Manager at a unicorn startup has provided me with relevant capabilities in ensuring organizational accountability and supporting ecosystem growth, which he believes are directly applicable to the UAC opeations. Furthermore, by participating as Tané, a team with Japanese roots, in such a key role, he believes we can amplify diverse stakeholder voices, thereby broadening Uniswap's own potential and fostering greater global inclusion in its governance.
Please list your association, history, and contributions to the Uniswap protocol or DAO:
Takeshi has been an actively represented Tané, which is a delegate in the Uniswap DAO and a part of the delegate incentive program since Season 2. Additionally, he has collaborated and coordinated with Erin from the Uniswap Foundation and other UAC members and community contributors in authoring proposals including the Treasury Delegation Round 2, demonstrating a proactive engagement with Uniswap's governance processes.

Briefly provide an overview of any role that has required you to operate as a multisig member:
Takeshi has gained practical experience with various multisig operational practices through his involvement with Optimism's M&M Council and Lido DVT node operations. Furthermore, Tané started as a VC fund, and in that capacity, he has been also involved in multisig-based fund management, underscoring his familiarity with the responsibilities and security protocols inherent in such operations.
Conflict of Interest Declaration:
Our investment arm, as a separate entity, has invested in a number of crypto startups but as of the time of writing this profile, we don’t believe there are clear COIs in terms of contributing to Uniswap DAO. We are also active in the other DAOs, including Arbitrum, Optimism (S7 Milestones & Metrics Council member), Lido, ENS, Morpho, and more.
Takeshi is committed to transparency and will disclose any potential conflicts of interest. In situations where a conflict may arise, he will abstain himself from related discussions and decisions to maintain the integrity of the committee’s work.
