UNISWAP DAO的顶级贡献者之一沮丧地走开了

佩佩（Pepo）是一名伪造代表，其他代币持有人代表他们投票，自2023年以来就参加了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.

周一担心其他利益相关者对分散的协议的权力过多，因此DAO的最高贡献者之一在周一感到沮丧。

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是由其他代币持有人委托代表他们投票的化名代表，自2023年以来一直是UNISWAP的一部分。他拥有455,000个Uni代币，使他成为前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.

出发的原因？ Pepo在X帖子中说，其他参与UNISWAP运行的组织（主要是非营利性Uniswap基金会）在X帖子中说，抛弃了DAO成员的意见，并且没有反馈。

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

Pepo说：“基金会的行为似乎优先考虑隔热而不是协作，而这样做可能会积极损害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基金会执行董事Devin Walsh被问及指控时没有向Coindesk发表直接评论。但是，她确实在社交媒体上提供了反驳。

“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上说：“代表参与对于Uniswap生态系统的成功至关重要。

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.

根据Defillama的数据，UNISWAP是最大的分散交易所，价值约40亿美元的存款，比其在2021 - 2022年期间的近100亿美元的总价值下降了60％。

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

像许多DEFI协议一样，UNISWAP通过某种拜占庭结构进行了控制和管理。

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.

该协议是由营利性公司Uniswap Labs创建的，该公司还负责其持续发展。非营利组织Uniswap Foundation的任务是支持UNISWAP及其社区，而协议更改和资源分配由Uniswap Dao控制，Uniswap DAO是由Uni Token持有人管理的一种加密集体。

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授予了该基金会1.65亿美元，以提高Uniswap生态系统的增长和发展。这赋予了基金会在不直接咨询DAO的情况下实现其目标的任务。

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，认为Uniswap基金会的行动将DAO的利益置于自身和Uniswap Labs之后。

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

这种情况强调了平衡Defi协议令牌持有人与其他利益相关者的利益的持续斗争。

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并不是唯一强调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代表斯坦福大学区块链俱乐部副总裁Billy Gao表示，Uniswap Labs突然决定发起自己的区块链“对DAO治理提出了严重的问题”。

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.

高辩称，应该提前告知UNISWAP DAO有关区块链的信息，并允许在其实施中对关键决策进行权衡。他说：“它呼吁（再次）质疑[UNISWAP]的治理实际上是多么的。”

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

UNISWAP实验室没有立即回应置评请求。

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.

其他人质疑UNISWAP基金会是如何使用授予的资金的，并抱怨说，其支出和决策不够透明。

“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.”

“透明度和沟通是许多代表同意的价值观，”单位交易代表DAO治理解决方案提供商Stablelab的联合创始人Doo Wan Nam告诉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基金会通过创建一个基础反馈小组来回应批评，旨在确保基金会与DAO之间的有效沟通和加强责任。

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

此外，作为一家非营利性公司，基金会必须合法地发布其财务状况。

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

但是问题在于，对于某些代表来说，这还不够。

“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.

“每当代表认为造成影响的唯一途径是辞职时，这都是损失，” Uniswap DAO DAO代表GFX Labs的治理联络人对Coindesk说。

Behind the scenes

幕后

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.

一些治理参与者还抱怨说，许多单项单项DAO沟通和决策私下发生，而不是在Uniswap治理论坛上公开。

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

这导致人们抱怨说，在进行公众投票之前，大型代表都同意了重大决定。

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

南说，提案必须在公开展示之前收到一定程度的反馈。

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

这与传统治理没有什么不同。纳姆说：“国会议员不仅在不与相关利益相关者或其他国会议员交谈的情况下盲目写法案。”

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.

但这是一把双刃剑。随着道斯的成熟，也有一种感觉，他们正在越来越关注政治和外表，而不是追求最适合协议的事物。

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

当被问到Pepo强调的投诉时，多个Unistap代表拒绝对Coindesk发表评论。
