August, a month not yet fully surrendered to autumn, brought forth a curious decree from the Uniswap Foundation – a ‘Request for Comment,’ as if one merely asks a neighbor about the weather, when in truth, they are toying with the very foundations of decentralized finance. They propose, you see, a ‘DUNA’ – a Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association registered in Wyoming, of all places. Wyoming! A state better known for its wide-open spaces and cattle, now suddenly a haven for digital anarchists. 🙄
They would call this entity ‘DUNI,’ a name uttered with a gravitas usually reserved for revolutionary leaders, and this DUNI, should it ever truly *be*, might actually allow them to distribute the fees that have been piling up like snowdrifts in a blizzard. Over a hundred million dollars, gleaned from the frantic exchanges of last month alone, a sum that would make Croesus himself raise an eyebrow. But alas, legal clarity, it seems, is the price of such riches. The ‘off-chain’ world, as they delicately put it, demands its due. A world of paperwork, regulations… a most bothersome affair.
Uniswap Fees and Revenue | DefiLlama. One hundred million…it’s almost vulgar, isn’t it?
As of this moment – a fleeting instance in the grand, indifferent flow of time – this proposal has garnered a meager 447 views, eight passing mentions, five polite nods of approval, and a single, solitary comment. A shadow play of engagement, a whispering gallery of interest. One suspects it will evolve, or perhaps, simply fade away like a half-remembered dream. 😴
[RFC] – Establish Uniswap Governance as “DUNI,” a Wyoming DUNA | Source: Uniswap Governance Forum. A document that threatens to redefine the very purpose of things.
What of the New Order?
If, by some miracle of consensus, this proposal *does* pass, DUNI will be enshrined within Wyoming’s legal labyrinth. Predictable, isn’t it?
And who will guide this digital ship of state? A firm called Cowrie, founded by a certain David Kerr, apparently instrumental in the creation of the DUNA law itself. He’s nominated as the ‘Administrator,’ wielding a peculiar sort of power, required when the cold, hard reality of legal representation demands it. The Uniswap Foundation, naturally, is to be the ‘Ministerial Agent,’ a title that sounds suspiciously like a bureaucrat’s invention. 🧐
These roles, they assure us, are separate, and purely functional. No one person, no single entity, will be allowed to steer the course, or so they claim. A delicate dance of decentralization, orchestrated with meticulous precision…or at least, that’s the narrative.
The Ministerial Agent, initially the UF, will shuffle papers, coordinate with external vendors, transmit funds as instructed. Nothing more. No deviation, no independent thought. The Administrator, meanwhile, will worry about taxes, finances, and other such mundane concerns, signing documents as required. Both, they insist, are subject to the whims of the governance, tethered to the collective will. Safe, secure… and perhaps, a little bit dull.
A Flood of Fees?
Ah, but here’s the rub! The ‘fee switch,’ that long-debated mechanism, could finally be flipped. Enabling the distribution of those dormant fees to those who participate in the exchange. A windfall for some, a potential headache for others, a redistribution of wealth in the digital age. 🤔
But tread carefully. This switch could also dilute incentives for liquidity providers. It’s a tightrope walk, a delicate balance between reward and risk. The idea has been kicking around since 2020, tested with pilot programs, hampered by regulatory anxieties. A cautionary tale whispered among the crypto cognoscenti.
That $109.49 million in July fees, flaunted by DefiLlama, represents a considerable prize. Yet, even this bounty won’t come without a cost. They propose transferring $16.5 million worth of UNI to DUNI’s coffers to cover taxes, past and future. Plus, a tidy sum of $75,000 for the services of Cowrie. Tokens converted to dollars, flowing through the familiar channels of commerce, a reminder that even in the realm of decentralization, the old rules still apply. A bit ironic, wouldn’t you say? 😉
The markets, of course, may react. But then again, the markets are fickle creatures, easily swayed by whispers and rumors. A story for another day, perhaps.
