Uniswap community approved creating a DUNA-based nonprofit in Wyoming to handle off-chain operations like compliance and contracting while maintaining on-chain governance authority and protocol integrity.
Uniswap community members passed a Snapshot vote to establish DUNI, a legal entity structured as a Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association (DUNA) in Wyoming. The entity will support off-chain functions such as contracting, working with service providers, and regulatory compliance, while preserving on-chain governance as the binding authority. DUNI aims to provide members with legal clarity and liability protection without altering the Uniswap protocol, UNI token, or governance framework.
