Hi all, Honn from the Uniswap Foundation here.
One of the Uniswap Foundation’s goals is to build an active and values-aligned set of delegates governing the Uniswap Protocol. In moving towards this goal, we are excited to update the community with 2 announcements:
Uniswap Agora is now live at vote.uniswapfoundation.org! Uniswap Agora is a unified and dedicated delegate portal to improve the Uniswap governance experience. Through this new platform, delegates can craft a tailored profile highlighting their platforms, the issues they care most about, and the stakeholders they represent. Community members will be able to easily identify delegates based on these criteria, can re-delegate, follow proposals, and more.The Uniswap Foundation had the privilege of funding this tool through the UF Grants Program, and we are very excited to share it with the rest of the community.
To celebrate the launch of Agora, the Uniswap Foundation will be organizing its first ever Uniswap Delegate Race. During the Delegate Race, we set aside time for new and existing delegates to create their platform page on Agora, and for delegators to refresh their delegation. We have worked with UNI token holders to anchor the re-delegation campaign with up to 8M UNI to be delegated to participating delegates over the next month. Read more below.
A major friction for Uniswap delegates, particularly newer delegates, has been bootstrapping their initial delegation from UNI holders. The Delegate Race, alongside the launch of Agora, seeks to mitigate this issue by setting aside a time during the course of the year when we as a community expect delegators to refresh their delegation.
Over the course of the next 4 weeks (detailed timeline below), both new and existing delegates are expected to build out their Agora profiles, and delegators will evaluate delegate profiles created on Agora.
All those who wish to participate in the race and have an opportunity to receive re-delegation from our partners will have to do the following:
Profile Creation Period
Monday, Monday May 1 — Friday, May 12th
Delegation Period
Saturday, May 13th — Friday, June 2nd
We hope that Uniswap Agora and the Delegate Race will make it easier for new and existing delegates to bootstrap their participation in Uniswap governance, and for delegators to ensure that their UNI is best representing their interests.
Based on community need and feedback, we may repeat the Delegate Race in the future. So please feel free to provide your feedback and thoughts on future iterations below!

This is awesome!! I am beyond excited to see Agora's positive impact on voter apathy and hopefully get some dormant UNI active again.
While we are still in the process of making it official, you can expect to see Blockworks Research's participation and support in this campaign. We have been looking to contribute to UNI governance for a while now and this feels like the perfect opportunity to move forward. Keep an eye out! :slight_smile:
