Hello Uniswap Community! A few weeks ago, we finalized and published our research report that gathered together opinions from around the community on how the governance process can be improved. The final report can be found here: “A Deep Dive of Uniswap's Governance” 17 This post will propose some general recommendations to the community and Uniswap Foundation team to possibly look at implementing in the future.
