Tally has been actively supporting Uniswap DAO since December 2020, less than 3 months after the UNI token was launched in September 2020. We are excited to continue building for the Uniswap DAO by enhancing the governance experience and rolling out key developments to further strengthen the Uniswap DAO’s onchain governance infrastructure. To continue providing these services and pursue future improvements, we are requesting $250,000 annually for 2 years.
Tally is the leading interface for Uniswap DAO’s onchain governance. Over the past 6 months, 75% of Uniswap DAO’s proposals were created on Tally with an average of 55.2% of onchain votes being cast on Tally.
Tally has been deeply engaged with the Uniswap DAO, providing essential governance infrastructure that has enabled its success. Our goal is to further enhance Uniswap’s governance capabilities and create an even better experience for the community.
Tally’s importance has grown over time, as Uniswap Labs has stopped maintaining Sybil.org and removed voting from the app.uniswap.org interface. We believe it’s important for the decentralization of the DAO to have many great interfaces for governance. The best way to ensure that is to fund them.
We believe the DAO should have the flexibility to allocate resources to the governance platform that best serves the DAO’s needs. Many DAO contributors and delegates have expressed support for using multiple governance interfaces. The Uniswap Foundation engaged Agora for a similar-sized grant. Tally plays a critical role in Uniswap DAO governance—currently it is the only platform that allows for the creation of proposals in the Uniswap DAO (all other proposals are created via command line). Tally’s no-code proposal tools, including the ability to create private drafts of proposals to be shared and edited among delegates, are highly popular with Uniswap proposal creators.
We are seeking this grant to:
Our focus is on the future. With this grant, we plan to build out features that will create a deeper, more robust governance experience—one that scales with Uniswap’s growth and helps contributors make impactful decisions.
