Delegate participation is essential to the success of the Uniswap ecosystem, and the @UniswapFND takes their feedback seriously.

In fact, we are the only major Protocol Foundation that is funded through the express approval of delegates. We were not endowed with tokens at the point of token launch; we go through the governance process for our funding. The UF does not exist without delegate support.

We crafted our 2025 Uniswap Unleashed proposals, which ultimately passed with over 80% support, based on countless conversations with delegates. Starting in December and continuing through the end of the governance process in March, we spent time speaking with 30+ delegate groups across multiple group office hours calls and 1-1 sessions. We hosted our regular Govswap event at ETH Denver IRL where we presented our vision and hosted break outs with dozens of reps from these groups.

In direct response to delegates’ feedback, we have worked with the delegate-led Uniswap Accountability Committee (UAC) to create a new Foundation Feedback Group (link below). Its organizing purpose is to ensure effective communication and strengthen accountability between the UF and the DAO. We are excited to kick this off soon, and to build more connectivity between the UF and our community.

The Uniswap community has accomplished a lot over the last several years, and has been strengthened by the diversity of voices who participate. That being said, there’s still much to build. I’m grateful to everyone helping shape what comes next.
