Why One of Uniswap DAO’s Most Outspoken Members Just Walked Away in Frustration

One of the Uniswap DAO’s top contributors walked away in frustration on Monday amid concerns that other stakeholders wield too much power over the decentralised protocol.Pepo, a pseudonymous delegate whom other token holders entrusted to vote on their behalf, had participated in Uniswap’s governance since 2023. He wielded 455,000 UNI tokens, making him one of the top 20 largest delegates.The reason for the departure? Other organisations involved in the running of Uniswap — primarily the nonprofit Uniswap Foundation — have pushed aside the opinions of DAO members and have been unreceptive to feedback, Pepo said in an X post source: https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2025/05/07/why-one-of-uniswap-dao-most-outspoken-members-just-walked-away-in-frustration
