Paving the way for grants and ecosystem growth
Uniswap has recently said that the new governance token could pave the way for grants and ecosystem growth.
“A community-managed treasury opens up a world of infinite possibilities. We hope to see a variety of experimentation, including ecosystem grants and public goods funding, both of which can foster additional Uniswap ecosystem growth,” they note.
The exchange also said that “Uniswap has set the standard for automated liquidity provision: it is now time to set the benchmark for responsible but radical, long-term aligned on-chain governance systems.”
