Platform TL;DR.

My view is that the Uniswap infrastructure is a public good. I will vote for proposals that are aligned with these value statements:

1. The UniswapDAO has one role: nurture Uniswap to keep it aligned with the ethos of decentralization.
2. Uniswap must be made available to the most users across all chains
3. The Uniswap fee switch should be turned on by protocols and proceeds should be distributed to protocols
4. The $UNI token should be free of any attributes that may classify it as a security.

What do you want to see happen in Uniswap governance over the next year?

I have articulated my perspective in a governance post describing how I think protocols should be active participants in the Uniswap governance process, specifically regarding who turns on the fee switch. I want to see this become a reality.

Reasons for wanting to be a delegate:

I want to help protocols become active participants in the Uniswap governance process. Holding a delegate position with 2.5M tokens will empower me to generate proposals that bring us closer to this goal.

Skills and areas of expertise:

I have written extensively about the math behind Uniswap v3, which has led me to discover that Uni v3 LP positions are an "option-like" financial instrument. I have personally managed >300 Uni v3 LP positions based on those ideas. I may be one of the few retail-level LP that can claim to be +EV (in ETH terms, that is).

Past contributions to Uniswap ecosystem:

• I have received a UNI Grant in the Spring of 2022 to support my work studying the math and strategies behind Uniswap LPing (medium blog).
• I have managed a fork of the Uniswap app and infometrics interface (app.yewbow.org and info.yewbow.org)
• I am the founder of a perpetual options protocol built on top of Uniswap v3 called Panoptic.
• I know the /v3-core and /v3-periphery smart contracts inside and out.

What are your views on 3 past Uniswap governance proposals?

Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest:

• Uniswap Labs Ventures invested in the Panoptic seed round.
• Panoptic will release an improved version of the NonFungiblePositionManager.sol smart contract.
• I am an Assistant Professor in Applied Physics at Cornell University and I will become the full-time CEO of Panoptic starting in July 2023.

Top Issues

• Fee switch: The fee switch should NOT be turned on for the largest pools with the most trading volume. Instead, teams who launched a token should be the ones submitting a proposal to capture the fees for their token’s Uniswap pool.
• Public goods: My view that Uniwap is a public good, and all vote should aim to preserve this status -- I do not advocate for the UniswapDAO to use the treasury for the funding of public goods
• Mechanis design: The UniswapDAO should explore alternative use-cases for the $UNI token that make it less like a security and more like a commodity
