The upgrades are intended to motivate a more thoughtful, engaged and active delegation, the proposal. This also included expanding the compensation mechanism to reward users who delegated and staked their UNI tokens on the platform.
“We are pleased to strengthen governance – not just by encouraging delegation, but also thoughtful and active delegation – by linking delegation to protocol costs,” Uniswap Foundation wrote in the proposal. “Specifically, we believe that UNI token holders will be incentivized to elect delegates whose votes and involvement in the Protocol will lead to the Protocol’s growth and success.”
A snapshot of the proposal will take place on March 1, followed by an on-chain vote on March 8.
