Uniswap Foundation Proposal for Growth

Last year, Uniswap governance approved $74 million in funding for the Uniswap Foundation, with the intention of splitting the fund request into two tranches. The second tranche, which includes a 10% buffer to counteract price volatility, now totals $62.37 million. This decision bypasses off-chain votes, emphasizing transparency and decentralization.

To engage with the community and address questions, the Uniswap Foundation will host a Twitter Spaces event on October 2. Additionally, they offer a comprehensive overview of their progress over the past year, highlighting their team, grants, and program impact, as well as sharing their vision for the future.

Looking ahead, the Uniswap Foundation is committed to growing the Uniswap ecosystem strategically. They plan to invest in projects and teams that will drive growth and strengthen the ecosystem, including developing the Hooks ecosystem. Their initiatives extend through 2023 and into 2024, focusing on adoption, innovation, and governance.
