Uniswap Foundation proposal suggests turning on rewards for UNI token holders
The upgrades aim to motivate more thoughtful, engaged and active delegation, according to the proposal . This also included augmenting the fee mechanism to reward users who delegated and staked their UNI tokens on the platform.
"We’re excited to invigorate governance — incentivizing not only delegation but thoughtful and active delegation — by tying delegation to protocol fees," Uniswap Foundation wrote in the proposal. "Specifically, we believe UNI token holders will be incentivized to choose delegates whose votes and engagement with the protocol will lead to the Protocol’s growth and success."
A snapshot vote for the proposal will occur on March 1 followed by an on-chain vote on March 8.
