The launch of Gnosis and Moonbeam as a catalyst for growth
Uniswap has kicked off 2022 with numerous developments. Just on April 15, 2022, we covered how they launched Swap Widget.
The Uniswap governance community ended up deciding that Uniswap should go live on two new chains.
These chains include Gnosis and Moonbeam.
Two votes passed almost unanimously throughout the previous week, where 99.9% of votes were in favor of launching on each chain.
On May 23, 2022, Uniswap Labs made an official announcement that Uniswap would be deployed across both chains.
In terms of the numbers, 50.7 million UNI in favor of Moonbeam and 46.1 million UNI in favor of Gnosis. The 0.01% of votes or 3,080 UNI were against each launch.
This has the potential to boost the value of the UNI token going forward, so let’s go over how much.
