The Uniswap Foundation has revealed that it currently holds .41 million in fiat and stablecoins along with 730,000 UNI tokens as of the end of the first quarter. In addition, the Foundation announced that .34 million in new grants were committed during this period, with .79 million being disbursed for previously committed grants.
The fiat cash and stablecoins are intended for grant-making and operating activities, while the UNI tokens, currently valued at .33 each, are reserved for employee token awards.
Furthermore, the Uniswap Foundation has stated that on-chain voting for a proposal to establish a new fee mechanism will take place by May 31. This proposal is seen as a crucial step towards implementing autonomous fee collection and distribution in Uniswap v3 pools.
If this proposal is approved, control of the mainnet UniswapV3Factory will be transferred to a new V3FactoryOwner contract, signifying a significant milestone in the decentralized governance of Uniswap. However, it is important to note that the vote will not activate the fees, as this will be addressed in a future proposal.
