[Uniswap Labs launches Unichain without unanimous consent from UNI token holders] On October 22, one of the largest holders of UNI tokens questioned Uniswap's decentralization and behind-the-scenes dealings, especially its rhetoric of a series of transformations on the grounds of "efficiency" and possible undisclosed financial interests between Uniswap Labs and another blockchain, Optimism. Billy Gao, head of governance at Stanford Blockchain Club at Stanford University (a representative entrusted by thousands of individuals to hold UNI governance tokens), published a 22-post complaint about Uniswap's sudden decision to launch its own blockchain, cancel the proposed fee switching mechanism that could benefit UNI holders, and bypass the DAO that ostensibly governs Uniswap.
