GFX Labs – DAO governance, Uniswap fee switch, onchain lending | Fundamentals ep. 65
In this episode of the Fundamentals podcast, we’re joined by Getty Hill, the Co-Founder of GFX Labs, a multi-faceted blockchain research and development company. GFX Labs operates as both a crypto products studio and an active DAO governance contributor. On the product side, GFX has built various products including Interest Protocol, Web3 Sheets, and most recently the advanced DeFi trading platform Oku Trade which is powered by Uniswap v3. On the governance side of things, which GFX is widely known for, they have an active role in the governance of MakerDAO, Optimism, Uniswap, 0x, and Arbitrum.
We speak about how GFX operates, the current state of DAO governance, and what an ideal DAO could look like. We dive into Uniswap’s fee switch and GFX’s stance on it, and also discuss the onchain borrow-lend market sector, the biggest opportunities and challenges in that space, and much more!
