Dear Uniswap community,
A few weeks ago we (Blockchain at Michigan in partnership with the Celo Foundation and the Celo Climate Collective) submitted a proposal to deploy Uniswap V3 on Celo to launch “Green Asset” Liquidity Pools and expand access to Uniswap to the 6B smartphone users around the world.
We initiated the Temperature Check and Consensus Check on Snapshot, where the proposal received strong support from the Uniswap community (~100%) voted yes for the proposal. Before putting forth the formal on-chain governance proposal, we wanted to ensure we worked closely with Uniswap Labs and the Uniswap community to put forth clear documentation on the cross-chain governance bridging. We believe this proposal is a first step in a long and fruitful collaboration between the Celo and Uniswap communities—a journey we are particularly excited to embark on.
We’re excited to initiate the formal governance proposal. We’d love to receive your support in this proposal. The proposal discussion can be found here
In partnership with the Celo Foundation and the Celo Climate Collective, we propose to authorize the deployment of the Uniswap protocol to Celo on behalf of the community.
Celo is a mobile-first, carbon-negative, EVM-compatible blockchain. Specifically, we propose launching Uniswap on the Celo platform to:
Overall, we believe the Uniswap community’s mission of creating a trustless and decentralized financial infrastructure accessible to anyone aligns with Celo’s vision of tackling climate change and achieving prosperity for all. The full proposal including information on incentives and governance bridging can be found here
