GFX Labs has two major goals for Uniswap governance.
The first is to solidify and extend Uniswap’s position as the dominant decentralized exchange on as many chains as possible, for as many assets as possible. This includes cross-chain deployments to increase breadth and encouraging development on top of the protocol to allow Uniswap to reasonably challenge centralized exchanges as a professional venue for trading.
Our second goal is positioning Uniswap to compete directly with traditional spot exchanges through our Oku.trade interface. Uniswap is the leading DEX with over 60% of the DEX market share, but it has less than 2% of the total spot market share. We want traders to bypass traditional exchanges by offering a better user experience, built on the foundation of Uniswap’s protocol.
GFX Labs and its founders have proposed 20% of all successfully executed Uniswap proposals. That is more than any other contributor, with an emphasis on enabling new fee tiers, such as the 1bp fee tier, executing the first cross-chain governance proposal, and growing Uniswap's reach through additional deployments.
With your delegation, you empower us to keep working to promote Uniswap and maximize value for UNI tokenholders.

Our Reasons for Wanting to be a Delegate:
GFX Labs is committed to helping protocols grow and evolve across the DeFi ecosystem. The current landscape of protocols, DAOs, and protocol governance is extremely nascent, and experienced hands like those of the GFX team are scarce.
The GFX team is comprised of heavy DeFi users, regular governance participants, and core community members of various protocols. While our predominant experience has been with Compound, Uniswap, and MakerDAO, we are excited to become involved with the Hop DAO.
What Voters Can Expect from GFX Labs:
We look forward to leveraging our learnings from other protocols and the deep relationships our team has fostered across DeFi, TradFi, governments, and academics.
GFX has a record of rolling up our sleeves and getting work done. The GFX team has authored half of all successful proposals on Uniswap (including the first cross-chain governance proposal), listed multiple assets and developed the price oracle on Compound, and led efforts at MakerDAO to interface with regulators, lawmakers, and outside researchers. We actively work to find mutual benefits for protocols we cover to collaborate – such as the soon-to-be deployed DAI Direct Deposit Module for MakerDAO to plug directly into Compound.
Delegation to GFX Labs is a delegation to a governance team that is one of the most experienced in DeFi, able to facilitate partnerships, and with a track record of consistent engagement and delivery of results.
GFX Labs isn’t a fund. We don’t hold positions. We are a team of builders who love DeFi. Our participation in governance is rooted in a desire to see DeFi overtake legacy finance. We promise to be active participants. We’ll explain not only when we agree, but most importantly, when we disagree. As first-hand participants in governance, we know how frustrating it is to work on a proposal, receive limited comments, only to have the proposal shot down at launch. Our door will always be open to those who share the passion for DeFi that we have.
Conflicts of Interest
GFX Labs may from time to time be engaged as a delegate on other protocols. All governance participation is public and done through the same wallet.
