Lab Activity 🔬
🎉 Uniswap Accountability Committee Passes Onchain Vote
We are thrilled to announce that we have been elected to serve on the inaugural Uniswap Accountability Committee. On April 20th, the onchain proposal to establish a dedicated community group responsible for supervising the deployment of Uniswap to new chains was overwhelmingly approved, garnering nearly 50 million 'For' votes. Doo joins the five-person committee as co-chair alongside Kendra Leong from she256.
We look forward to helping deploy Uniswap in a safe and sustainable manner for the benefit of users and the broader ecosystem. 🙏
🕴️ Hop Ambassador Elections
Hop DAO is holding elections to select community representatives responsible for representing the DAO across various protocols, including Arbitrum, Optimism, and Rocket Pool. This program, which we and other members of the Hop community authored, was originally approved back in March.
Three proposals are currently LIVE on Snapshot. If you’re a HOP tokenholder, cast your vote!
❲ This Week’s Proposals ❳
🆕 New Proposals
🐇 RFC: Renewal of the Hop Delegate Incentivization Trial
Protocol: Hop Protocol
Summary: This proposal looks to renew the current Delegate Incentives Program at Hop Protocol for 6 months. The community-run program was formed to promote and build a culture of governance-related engagement in Hop DAO. Over the past six months, ~85k HOP tokens have been paid out to delegates for their work. We estimate an additional ~90k HOP will be rewarded over the next six months should the proposal pass.

Summary: Here, we present a utilization plan for the 2.6M ARB token airdrop recently received by the 1inch DAO. Our proposal aims to leverage these tokens to drive increased adoption of 1inch Products on the Arbitrum network. Details of the proposal are currently being updated based on feedback.

Lab Reports 📓
In our latest blog post, we delve into the world of Governance Contracts. These innovative smart contracts have significantly advanced collective decision-making in DAOs by integrating decisions and rules on the blockchain. We explore how they work, the different types, their current limitations, and the various innovations that have been made to them.
