UNI Foundation Proposes Community Vote for Approval of New Initiative

The funding request was divided into two parts to allow the Uniswap Foundation to obtain non-profit status from the IRS before receiving the larger portion of funds. The first tranche of funding was approved for $20 million but was reduced to $17.3 million due to a decrease in the value of UNI.

The second tranche, totalling $62.37 million, will be received in UNI using a 30-day TWAP. The UF has around $9.24 million left for operational expenses, which is expected to last until Q4 2024. In mid-2024, the Uniswap Foundation plans to revisit governance to extend its operational runway.
