The Uniswap, MakerDAO and Synthetix communities are in a critical voting process for the future of their ecosystems. The results and effects of the head-to-head voting are as follows.
Uniswap, MakerDAO and Synthetix communities in critical voting process
First, the Uniswap community voted on a proposal to charge liquidity providers (LPs) fees during the week. The voting was rejected with 45% of the participants voting against it. The proposal, which was rejected by the majority, proposed the following changes:
We recommend applying a protocol fee equal to ⅕ of the pool fee on all Uniswap v3 pools and turning on the fee switch for Uniswap v2. The scope of this offer is to impose a fee for Uniswap pools, implement a system for claiming earned fees, and securely sell earned fees for an asset determined by the UNI community.
The snapshot poll ended with over 45% of respondents voting against the fee. The remaining votes were apportioned among the varying wage proposals.
MakerDAO’s community-driven asset diversification
On the other hand, the MakerDAO community’s vote suggests diversifying traditional financial assets. Recently, the community highlighted the addition of a new real-world asset vault, BlockTower Andromeda. This vault will invest up to $1.28 billion in short-term U.S. Treasuries, representing a significant diversification from crypto-centric investments.
The decision reinforces MakerDAO’s broader ambitions to diversify the reserve assets that support the $5 billion stablecoin DAI. It also reflects a growing appetite to blend traditional financial instruments with crypto-native assets to generate stable returns.

Synthetix community voting
In another development, Synthetix’s community engagement influences more than investment strategies. Earlier, the community voted for the remaining client funds to be transferred from version v1 to version second (v2).
“The primary motivation is to enforce the deprecation of exceptional locations in PerpsV1 in the least intrusive manner, giving accounts with existing locations sufficient time to close their positions,” the proposal says.
The power of DAO voting
The essence of DeFi is based on the principles of autonomy, transparency and decentralization. Nowhere are these values more pronounced than in decentralized voting. DeFi platforms leverage common sense by actively empowering users to contribute to their decision-making processes.
As such, they foster a decentralized management model that challenges traditional hierarchical systems.
Decentralized voting turns users from passive observers to active contributors. Thus, it increases their loyalty and participation to the platform. This transformative process ensures that the development of the platform is aligned with the interests of its user base. Thus, it supports long-term growth and stability.
