Hi all - Duncan from Boardroom here 👋
Part of Boardroom’s mission is to increase informed participation in governance. As a project supporting Uniswap we thought it would be useful to provide a weekly recap of recent governance activity in the Uniswap community.
Unlike the UNI Letter (which stopped shipping in May), this recap will focus exclusively on governance, similar to our coverage of Optimism governance. We believe this will be useful for delegates and voters due to the sometimes rapid pace of governance news and updates. When appropriate we’ll also note a few specific areas for action on timely subjects.
Within our weekly recap, we’ll provide a look back at:
The first recap will be posted today. We’d love to hear your feedback and any suggestions you might have. Feel free to DM to set up a time to chat!

[RFC]. Community Governance Process Changes. This important discussion continues.
[Temperature Check]: Deploy Uniswap V3 on Scroll. This proposal passed on December 4 with 74% voting “Yes.”
[Consensus Check]: Fix the Cross Chain Messaging Bridge on Arbitrum. This proposal passed on December 3 with 100% voting “Yes.”
Fee Switch pilot update. @Leighton and @guil-lambert lay out their proposal, which could go up for a vote within the next two weeks.
Delegate platform. FranklinDAO (@pennblockchain) updates their voting record, including rationales.
Uniswap Risk DAO. @RevoGames begins discussion on the creation of one.
Fee Switch considerations. The Uniswap Foundation tweets about things to consider, with legal and regulatory issues attended to in a Mirror post.

🗣 The next Uniswap Community Call is November 16 at 19:00 UCT.
The proposed community governance process changes are going to be put to a vote on Snapshot on Wednesday, December 14. There is at least one open question that could use more community feedback — take a look at the latest version of the proposal.
The important “fee switch” discussion continues, with several new posts since last week. Keep up to date with this thread.
Several important discussions and proposals sit before the Uniswap community.
🗣 As you consider each, also take some time to read through FranklinDAO’s recently posted (and excellent) “Deep Dive” on Uniswap’s governance.
Check out Alastor’s fee switch report noted below. A vote on the fee switch could be forthcoming in early December.

We have one active, on-chain vote (see below), and several interesting discussions taking place.
Of note: A while back Uniswap protocol received $1m in $OP from the Optimism Foundation “to incentivize future growth within the Optimism ecosystem,” as @devinwalsh writes.
There’s been increased activity — and some important reflection on Uniswap governance processes.
There’s been increased activity — and some important reflection on Uniswap governance processes.
[RFC]: Community Governance Process Changes. @devinwalsh from the Uniswap Foundation restarts a conversation about adjusting the Uniswap governance process, primarily to “reduce overhead” and “enhance off-chain signaling.” The main changes are: replace the first Snapshot poll (a temp-check, as below for example) with a request-for-comment (RFC) post in the forum (such as this very one); and increase the quorum to 5M UNI for the remaining Snapshot (the “consensus check”). The intention to formalize a process for future changes to off-chain governance components is also expressed. A Snapshot for this proposal will be posted on December 12.
🗣 Leave your comments on the proposed process changes.
[Temperature Check]: Deploy Uniswap V3 on Scroll. This proposal to deploy on Scroll, a “native zkEVM Layer 2 solution for Ethereum,” was just posted to the forums this morning. The Snapshot is set to go live on December 1.
[Temperature Check]: Fix the Cross Chain Messaging Bridge on Arbitrum. Uniswap deployments on chains other than Ethereum do not have native access on-chain Uniswap governance, meaning that governance decisions must passed along from Ethereum to other chains via a messaging system. With this proposal, @bharat_eth suggests a fix for the currently “mis-configured” method of cross-chain communication with Uniswap’s Arbitrum deployment.
[Consensus Check]: Deploy Uniswap V3 to Boba Network. This proposal passed on November 24 with 78% voting in favor. In their considered dissent, @GFXlabs suggest that it might be time “to set up a framework/checklist for future Uniswap v3 deployments” to make sure upsides and downsides are fully taken into account by the community.
Delegate platforms. @mhonkasalo updates their voting record, as does FranklinDAO (@pennblockchain).

🗣 As you consider each, also take some time to read through FranklinDAO’s recently posted (and excellent) “Deep Dive” on Uniswap’s governance.
Update on the “fee switch” discussion: After constructive feedback, @Leighton writes about shifting the approach and creating a legal entity before proceeding to a proposal. This will take several weeks. In the meantime, it is good to see that “the simple posting and planning for the vote also generated a high level of engagement from new and existing stakeholders.”
[On-chain] Fix the Cross Chain Messaging Bridge on Arbitrum. This proposal suggests a fix for the currently “mis-configured” method of cross-chain communication with Uniswap’s Arbitrum deployment.
