Financial modeling platform Gauntlet has recently announced that it has been awarded a grant from Uniswap Foundation to enhance Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) incentive mechanisms. This development aims to promote the growth of the Uniswap Protocol and optimize its growth potential through quantitative optimization.
Gauntlet Applied Research, a newly-formed quantitative optimization division of Gauntlet, will be responsible for evaluating and recommending incentive designs for the Uniswap Protocol. To evaluate spending proposals, Gauntlet will consider four primary drivers of spending impact, namely direct impact on users, current cash flow, future cash flow, and governance benefit. By using these drivers as part of their 7-step governance process, Gauntlet aims to maximize efficiency and incentive benefits on Uniswap.
The Uniswap Foundation expressed their excitement in engaging with Gauntlet, and together, they aim to design and specify incentive programs to benefit the Uniswap Protocol. Gauntlet has already released its first work output, a comprehensive framework for evaluating Uniswap proposals, which has been published in the governance forum.
Very excited to announce our engagement with @gauntletnetwork and their new Applied Research Group!

This new development marks an exciting period for Uniswap Protocol and the DeFi ecosystem. By optimizing its growth potential and incentivizing users, Uniswap can maintain its position as the largest decentralized exchange, while also promoting innovation in the DeFi space. The coming months will undoubtedly be filled with more groundbreaking developments, and it will be interesting to see how this collaboration between Uniswap Foundation and Gauntlet Applied Research unfolds.
