Today, I’m incredibly excited to make my first proposal to Uniswap governance on behalf of @Uniswap alongside @devinawalsh and @nkennethk

This proposal turns on protocol fees and aligns incentives across the Uniswap ecosystem

Uniswap has been my passion and singular focus for the past 8 years. What started as a small side project is now global financial infrastructure powering thousands of applications with ~$1.8 trillion in annual trading

UNI launched in 2020, but for the past 5 years Labs has been unable to meaningfully participate in Uniswap governance, and has been greatly restricted in the ways it can build value for the Uniswap community. That ends today!

This restriction was in great part due to a hostile regulatory environment that cost thousands of hours and tens of millions in legal fees. Fortunately, the regulatory environment has shifted

This proposal comes from a strong desire to see the Uniswap protocol win as the global decentralized exchange for tokenized value

At a high level, the proposal:
1. Turns on protocol fees and uses them to burn UNI

2. Sends @unichain sequencer fees to the UNI burn

3. Burns 100M UNI from the treasury representing the protocol fees that could have been burned if fees were turned on at token launch

4. Introduces Protocol Fee Discount Auctions, a new way to improve LP outcomes and internalize MEV to the protocol

5. Introduces "aggregator hooks” which will turns Uniswap v4 into an onchain aggregator that collects protocol fees on external liquidity sources

6. Focus Labs on driving protocol growth and adoption, including a contractual agreement to only pursue initiatives that align with Uniswap governance interests

^ As part of this, Labs will stop collecting fees on its interface, wallet, and API to supercharge distribution and adoption of the Uniswap protocol

7. Moves Foundation employees to Labs with a shared goal of accelerating protocol growth, under a growth fund from the treasury

8. Move governance-owned Unisocks liquidity to v4 on Unichain and burn the LP position

I believe Uniswap protocol can be the primary place tokens are traded. This proposal sets the stage for the next decade of its growth

@Uniswap will ship relentlessly over the coming years and supercharge the ecosystem of developers, LPs, and traders building on top

I'm so grateful to the community that has made this all possible, and excited for what's next

🦄
