[Temp Check] Fund UNI Grants Program?

A proposal for funding Uniswap ecosystem development with up grants from the UNI treasury.

The mission of the Uniswap Grants Program (UGP) is to provide valuable resources to help grow the Uniswap ecosystem.

A grants program is a by definition a subjective process that cannot be easily automated.

So the proposal calls for a small committee of 6 members—1 lead and 5 reviewers—to deliver an efficient, predictable process to applicants.

The budget proposed is:

• $750K (of UNI) per quarter
• Over 2 quarters

The assumption is that $1.5M worth of UNI seems appropriate for an MVP, especially relative to the size of the treasury that UNI token holders are entrusted with allocating.

More details and an explanation of the methodology that got us here are live on Discourse, and we are polling consensus before putting this to a governance vote — as soon as next week!

Should UNI gov create a committee for grant funding?
