- Uniswap’s delay in UNI staking vote shows challenges in balancing innovation and compliance.
- Criticism arises as Uniswap postpones “fee switch” amid stakeholder concerns.
- Financial disclosures reveal Uniswap holds $41.41M in assets and 730K UNI tokens
The Uniswap Foundation, which governs the decentralized exchange Uniswap, has postponed the vote on UNI staking and delegation rewards scheduled for May 31. This delay is due to a concern raised by one of the stakeholders, which led to the analysis of the proposal and stopping the decision-making process.
Details of the Postponement
The vote was postponed in order to implement Uniswap’s “fee switch,” which provides rewards to holders of UNI tokens who stake and distribute their tokens.
The person in charge of Uniswap’s DAO governance forum, Erin Koen, emphasised the necessity for careful consideration before making any decisions, citing the upgrade’s delicate and irreversible nature.
Criticism followed the Uniswap Foundation’s decision, with Dan Robinson from Paradigm accusing the foundation of yielding to pressure from undisclosed venture capital firms.
This critique reflects concerns over potential centralised influences undermining Uniswap’s decentralised governance ideals. Such sentiments challenge the foundation’s commitment to community-driven decision-making.

The most recent plan from the Uniswap Foundation was presented in February and had the approval of the community based on an advisory vote that was conducted earlier this year, also referred to as a “temperature check.”
The Uniswap Foundation clarified a week before to the vote that UNI holders needed to assign their tokens on the platform before the voting went live in order to be ready for the originally planned May 31 vote.
The Uniswap Foundation has revealed that as of the conclusion of the first quarter, it had 730,000 tokens and $41.41 million in fiat and stablecoins.
The decision to postpone the vote on UNI staking and delegation rewards highlights the continuous difficulties in striking a balance between innovation, legal compliance, and decentralized governance ideals in the Uniswap ecosystem.
