Should We Feature Banner Ads?

Last week we introduced a governance discussion about featuring banner ads. Initially, the community opposed our proposition, so we adapted and made some adjustments. After a few days of discussion in our Reddit forum and across all of our social platforms, we feel that the community is in agreement, and we’re ready to move forward with a governance vote. Should we feature banner ads?

• On July 21st, we opened a discussion forum asking our community if QuickSwap should feature banner ads
• The community responded with some harsh criticisms
• As a community-governed DEX, we always consider your perspectives, which is why we adjusted the proposal and continued to discuss it
• We explained that the current bear market conditions have led to radically decreased volume, which has impacted the QuickSwap Foundation
• If implemented, the revenue generated from banner ads would fund the QuickSwap Foundation, which is how we pay for our development, marketing, and operations expenses
• After the revisions were made, QuickSwap’s community expressed strong support for the proposal, which is why we are now introducing a governance vote
• The vote will run from July 27th - August 1st
• If this vote passes, QuickSwap will immediately begin selling ad space on our UI, and you will likely see banner ads within 1–2 weeks
