Reason: because returning the 12.5M UNI to the Governance Timelock is a logical and timely step that reflects the maturation of Uniswap's governance ecosystem. The original Franchiser delegations successfully served their purpose of bootstrapping quorum and active delegates during low-participation periods in 2022 and 2023. However, with the introduction of DUNI driving average turnouts well past 75 million votes, artificially bolstering voting power is no longer required.

Reason: this proposal because expanding the protocol fee architecture to BNB Chain and Polygon is a logical next step to scale the efficiency of the UNI burn mechanism. Both networks command massive transactional volume, meaning their integration will significantly increase the deflationary pressure on the UNI supply via local TokenJars.

Reason: Consolidating Labs and Foundation aligns our strongest resources under one roof, ensuring a laser focus on maximizing Uniswap's dominance without conflicting incentives. The introduction of MEV capture and Unichain sequencer fees creates a sustainable revenue model that secures our competitive edge against centralized exchanges.

Reason: By renewing support for Mantle, Gnosis, and Linea via Oku, we ensure that users on these networks have a reliable, professional-grade interface to access the protocol. Without this, we effectively cede these ecosystems and their substantial TVL

Reason: The "no result, no reward" structure makes this a compelling and low-risk proposal. Tying the vast majority of funding directly to ambitious, measurable growth milestones is a highly accountable and capital-efficient way to drive real, sustainable growth for the Unichain ecosystem

Reason: Participating in governance shouldn't expose individuals to personal legal risk. Adopting a DUNA is a crucial and responsible step to provide a legal shield for all delegates and voters, making the ecosystem safer and more attractive for long-term, high-quality contributors.

Reason: We are abstaining from this proposal due to outstanding concerns regarding transparency, potential conflicts of interest, and misalignment of value capture with the broader Uniswap DAO community. GFX Labs, the team behind Oku, appears to benefit commercially from Uniswap v3 deployments via a subscription-based model, with minimal direct benefit to UNI holders. The request for a v4 license exemption further consolidates this advantage without clear justification for DAO funding or strategic alignment.
