Platform TL;DR.
My view is that the Uniswap infrastructure is a public good. I will vote for proposals that are aligned with these value statements:
- The UniswapDAO has one role: nurture Uniswap to keep it aligned with the ethos of decentralization.
- Uniswap must be made available to the most users across all chains
- The Uniswap fee switch should be turned on by protocols and proceeds should be distributed to protocols
- The $UNI token should be free of any attributes that may classify it as a security.
What do you want to see happen in Uniswap governance over the next year?
I have articulated my perspective in a governance post describing how I think protocols should be active participants in the Uniswap governance process, specifically regarding who turns on the fee switch. I want to see this become a reality.
Reasons for wanting to be a delegate:
I want to help protocols become active participants in the Uniswap governance process. Holding a delegate position with 2.5M tokens will empower me to generate proposals that bring us closer to this goal.
Skills and areas of expertise:
I have written extensively about the math behind Uniswap v3, which has led me to discover that Uni v3 LP positions are an "option-like" financial instrument. I have personally managed >300 Uni v3 LP positions based on those ideas. I may be one of the few retail-level LP that can claim to be +EV (in ETH terms, that is).
Past contributions to Uniswap ecosystem:
- I have received a UNI Grant in the Spring of 2022 to support my work studying the math and
strategies behind Uniswap LPing (medium blog).
- I have managed a fork of the Uniswap app and infometrics interface (app.yewbow.org
and info.yewbow.org)
- I am the founder of a perpetual options protocol built on top of Uniswap v3 called Panoptic.
- I know the /v3-core and /v3-periphery smart contracts inside and out.
What are your views on 3 past Uniswap governance proposals?

Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest:
- Uniswap Labs Ventures invested in the Panoptic seed round.
- Panoptic will release an improved version of the NonFungiblePositionManager.sol smart contract.
- I am an Assistant Professor in Applied Physics at Cornell University and I will become the full-time CEO of Panoptic starting in July 2023.
