It's A Go! Uniswap Foundation Becomes A Reality After 86M Votes In Favour

 

The foundation aims to streamline Uniswap's grants program and "reinvigorate governance."The $74 million plan by two former Uniswap Lab executives for a new Uniswap Foundation has just become a reality after their proposal received over 99% of the votes from UNI token holders.
 

According to the initial proposal, the foundation aims to streamline Uniswap’s Grant Program (UPG) and reduce friction in the protocol’s governance system.

Former Uniswap Labs executive Devin Walsh, now serving as executive director of UF, shared the results in a tweet on Aug. 24, noting that the proposal to create the foundation “passed its final vote!”

According to the Uniswap website, the foundation saw more than 86 million, or 99% of total votes, in favour of the proposal, with only 770 votes against it.

The votes in favour come despite the initial proposal seeing diverse community reaction when it was first announced on Aug. 5.
 

The voting period started on Aug. 17 and was cut off at 2:19 pm GMT +10 deadline on Aug. 24. The votes were conducted on Uniswap’s app, with voters needing to hold the UNI token to vote.

For the vote to pass, a threshold of 40 million votes was needed to be cast in favour of the UF. Walsh said that the UF has already “hit the ground running” on its top priorities,
 

including interviewing "talented, values-aligned candidates" to join the team, scaling up the UPG and "reinvigorating governance."

According to the Uniswap Foundation's job board, employees they're looking to hire include Community Lead, Partnerships Lead,

Governance Lead, Grants Analyst and Leads, Communications and Finance Leads, and Developer Relations and Protocol Leads.

Is It Decentralized Or Not?

But despite the votes being cast heavily in favour of the UF, some on Twitter have questioned how much control the community has over Uniswap decisions. Chainlink Community Ambassador “ChainLinkGod,"

With 150,200 followers on Twitter, Uniswap’s decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) should “determine how funds raised are used” rather than a centralized foundation.

Another community member suggested that the voting outcome was a “whale run”, with the top 20 addresses voting with 81.57 million, or 99.7% of tokens used to vote in the proposal.

Walsh, now Head of Operations Ken Ng, plans on building a team of 12 and has requested $74 million from the Uniswap decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) treasury,

which currently holds over $3 billion worth of UNI tokens. Of the $74 million, the UF plans on distributing $60 million to the Uniswap Grant Program (UGP) and the remaining $14 million to cover the operating budget.

The economy of Malaysia is expected to slow down in 2023.

According to statements made by analysts on Thursday, the economy of Malaysia will slow down in 2023 as a result of adverse external conditions and a slowdown in internal demand. According to Xinhua news agency, the Maybank Investment Bank Research said in a research that it anticipates Malaysia's full-year growth to drop to 4 percent in 2023 from the growth prediction of 8 percent in 2022. This is mostly reflective of a moderation in domestic demand. As pent-up spending from the complete economic re-opening evaporates next year, the research house anticipates slower growth in private consumption. This will be compounded by the effects of high inflation and high interest rates on the cost of living and real disposable income. It also forecasts a slowdown in the expansion of private consumption, which is expected to be in line with the reduced allocation for government operating expenses in Budget 2023. In addition, it was said that the forecast for slower global economic developmen

7-Day Wait for Vote to Fix Compound CETH Market Bricked By Update

A recent governance proposal to update the pricing feeds of Compound, a decentralized lending platform, was hampered by a programming error. Although the Compound ETH (cETH) market has "temporarily halted" due to the coding fault, Compound Labs assured users that their money is not in danger right away despite the front end's malfunction. On August 31, Compound Labs revealed that the code error originated from Proposal 117: Compound Oracle Upgrade v3, which had just been put into place to upgrade the oracle contracts on the Compound protocol to a new version that uses Uniswap V3 rather than V2 for price feeds. Compound Labs stated that it intended to use Proposal 119: Oracle Update to return to the prior price feed in response to the cETH market briefly freezing. Despite being created less than an hour after Proposal 117 was carried out, the new proposal must now go through a seven-day governance process before it can go into effect.
