According to WuSaid, the Uniswap Foundation announced last Friday that it had postponed a key vote on whether to upgrade the protocol governance structure and fee mechanism due to concerns from a "stakeholder" who is believed to be an equity investor in Uniswap. This is not the first time that Uniswap has postponed a vote on whether to implement a "fee conversion," nor is it the only time that token holders have had a conflict of interest with other "stakeholders" in Uniswap. Crypto legal expert Gabriel Shapiro believes that this is another example of DeFi protocols treating token holders as "second-class" citizens, whose wishes are subordinated to the wishes of a small group of stakeholders.
