UNISWAP DAO的頂級貢獻者之一沮喪地走開了

佩佩（Pepo）是一名偽造代表，其他代幣持有人代表他們投票，自2023年以來就參加了Uniswap的治理。

One of the Uniswap DAO’s top contributors walked away in frustration on Monday amid concerns that other stakeholders wield too much power over the decentralised protocol.

週一擔心其他利益相關者對分散的協議的權力過多，因此DAO的最高貢獻者之一在周一感到沮喪。

Pepo, a pseudonymous delegate entrusted by other token holders to vote on their behalf, had been part of Uniswap’s governance since 2023. He held 455,000 UNI tokens, making him one of the top 20 largest delegates.

Pepo是由其他代幣持有人委託代表他們投票的化名代表，自2023年以來一直是UNISWAP的一部分。他擁有455,000個Uni代幣，使他成為前20名最大的代表之一。

The reason for the departure? Other organisations involved in the running of Uniswap – primarily the nonprofit Uniswap Foundation – had pushed aside the opinions of DAO members and had been unreceptive to feedback, Pepo said in an X post.

出發的原因？ Pepo在X帖子中說，其他參與UNISWAP運行的組織（主要是非營利性Uniswap基金會）在X帖子中說，拋棄了DAO成員的意見，並且沒有反饋。

“The Foundation’s behavior seems to have prioritized insulation over collaboration, and in doing so, may have actively harmed Uniswap,” Pepo said.

Pepo說：“基金會的行為似乎優先考慮隔熱而不是協作，而這樣做可能會積極損害Uniswap。”

Devin Walsh, Executive Director of the Uniswap Foundation, didn't provide direct comment to CoinDesk when asked about the accusation. However, she did provide a rebuttal on social media.

UNISWAP基金會執行董事Devin Walsh被問及指控時沒有向Coindesk發表直接評論。但是，她確實在社交媒體上提供了反駁。

“Delegate participation is essential to the success of the Uniswap ecosystem,” she said on X. “The Uniswap Foundation takes their feedback seriously.”

她在X上說：“代表參與對於Uniswap生態系統的成功至關重要。

Uniswap is the biggest decentralized exchange with some $4 billion worth of deposits, down 60% from its peak of nearly $10 billion total-value-locked during 2021-2022, according to DefiLlama data.

根據Defillama的數據，UNISWAP是最大的分散交易所，價值約40億美元的存款，比其在2021 - 2022年期間的近100億美元的總價值下降了60％。

Like many DeFi protocols, Uniswap is controlled and managed through a somewhat Byzantine structure.

像許多DEFI協議一樣，UNISWAP通過某種拜占庭結構進行了控制和管理。

The protocol was created by Uniswap Labs, a for-profit company which is also responsible for its continued development. The Uniswap Foundation, a nonprofit, is tasked with supporting Uniswap and its community, while protocol changes and allocation of resources is controlled by the Uniswap DAO, a type of crypto collective governed by holders of the UNI token.

該協議是由營利性公司Uniswap Labs創建的，該公司還負責其持續發展。非營利組織Uniswap Foundation的任務是支持UNISWAP及其社區，而協議更改和資源分配由Uniswap Dao控制，Uniswap DAO是由Uni Token持有人管理的一種加密集體。

In March, the DAO granted the foundation $165 million to boost Uniswap ecosystem growth and development. This gave the foundation a mandate to do certain things in pursuit of its goals without directly consulting the DAO.

3月，DAO授予了該基金會1.65億美元，以提高Uniswap生態系統的增長和發展。這賦予了基金會在不直接諮詢DAO的情況下實現其目標的任務。

Some, like Pepo, feel the Uniswap Foundation’s actions are putting the DAO’s interests behind those of itself and Uniswap Labs.

有些人，例如Pepo，認為Uniswap基金會的行動將DAO的利益置於自身和Uniswap Labs之後。

This situation highlights the persistent struggle to balance the interests of DeFi protocol token holders with those of other stakeholders.

這種情況強調了平衡Defi協議令牌持有人與其他利益相關者的利益的持續鬥爭。

Not the first time

不是第一次

Pepo isn’t the only one to highlight a perceived lack of DAO control at Uniswap.

Pepo並不是唯一強調UNISWAP缺乏DAO控制的人。

In October, Billy Gao, vice president of Stanford Blockchain Club, a Uniswap delegate, said Uniswap Labs’ sudden decision to launch its own blockchain “raised serious questions about DAO governance.”

10月，UNISWAP代表斯坦福大學區塊鏈俱樂部副總裁Billy Gao表示，Uniswap Labs突然決定發起自己的區塊鏈“對DAO治理提出了嚴重的問題”。

Gao argued that the Uniswap DAO should have been told about the blockchain ahead of time and allowed to weigh in on key decisions in its implementation. “It calls to question (once again) how decentralized [Uniswap’s] governance actually is,” he said.

高辯稱，應該提前告知UNISWAP DAO有關區塊鏈的信息，並允許在其實施中對關鍵決策進行權衡。他說：“它呼籲（再次）質疑[UNISWAP]的治理實際上是多麼的。”

Uniswap Labs did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

UNISWAP實驗室沒有立即回應置評請求。

Others have questioned how the Uniswap Foundation uses the funds granted to it, and have complained that it isn’t transparent enough about its spending and decision making.

其他人質疑UNISWAP基金會是如何使用授予的資金的，並抱怨說，其支出和決策不夠透明。

“Transparency and communication are values that many delegates agree with,” Doo Wan Nam, Co-founder of DAO governance solutions provider StableLab, a Uniswap delegate, told CoinDesk. “There have been improvements.”

“透明度和溝通是許多代表同意的價值觀，”單位交易代表DAO治理解決方案提供商Stablelab的聯合創始人Doo Wan Nam告訴Coindesk。 “有改善。”

On May 1, the Uniswap Foundation responded to criticism by creating a Foundation Feedback Group, intended to ensure effective communication and strengthen accountability between the foundation and the DAO.

5月1日，UNISWAP基金會通過創建一個基礎反饋小組來回應批評，旨在確保基金會與DAO之間的有效溝通和加強責任。

Additionally, as a nonprofit company, the foundation must legally publish its finances.

此外，作為一家非營利性公司，基金會必須合法地發布其財務狀況。

But the problem is that for some delegates, it’s not enough.

但是問題在於，對於某些代表來說，這還不夠。

“It’s a loss for any DAO whenever a delegate feels the only way to make an impact is through stepping down,” PaperImperium, Governance Liaison at Uniswap DAO delegate GFX Labs, told CoinDesk.

“每當代表認為造成影響的唯一途徑是辭職時，這都是損失，” Uniswap DAO DAO代表GFX Labs的治理聯絡人對Coindesk說。

Behind the scenes

幕後

Some governance participants also complained that a lot of Uniswap DAO communication and decision-making happens privately, instead of publicly on the Uniswap governance forums.

一些治理參與者還抱怨說，許多單項單項DAO溝通和決策私下發生，而不是在Uniswap治理論壇上公開。

This has led to complaints that major decisions are all agreed on by large delegates behind closed doors before going to a public vote.

這導致人們抱怨說，在進行公眾投票之前，大型代表都同意了重大決定。

It’s necessary for proposals to receive a degree of feedback before being presented publicly, Nam said.

南說，提案必須在公開展示之前收到一定程度的反饋。

It’s not unlike traditional governance. “Congressmen won't just blindly write bills without talking to relevant stakeholders or other Congressmen,” Nam said.

這與傳統治理沒有什麼不同。納姆說：“國會議員不僅在不與相關利益相關者或其他國會議員交談的情況下盲目寫法案。”

But it’s a double-edged sword. As DAOs mature, there’s also a sense that they are becoming more about politics and appearances rather than pursuing what’s best for the protocol.

但這是一把雙刃劍。隨著道斯的成熟，也有一種感覺，他們正在越來越關注政治和外表，而不是追求最適合協議的事物。

Multiple Uniswap delegates declined to comment to CoinDesk when asked about the complaints highlighted by Pepo.

當被問到Pepo強調的投訴時，多個Unistap代表拒絕對Coindesk發表評論。
