0xb04 sent UNI to 10 wallets, including @a16z

‍9 wallets ended up with 0.25% of the supply each (2.5M UNI) - a calculated amount 👇

0.25% is required to submit a proposal to the governance of Uniswap

For example:0x3c0 received 2.5M UNI, 1.5M from @a16z and 1M from two wallets.

Those transfers were made over a long timeframe with a clear purpose

‍

All those wallets represent a total cluster percentage of 4.15%

4% is the amount you to achieve a quorum according to @Uniswap governance pageDecentralization, you said?

‍

‍

In summary, those wallets can collectively change the outcome of any governance vote.

Their total power is actually 45M $UNI, far greater than the 15M originally presented.

Concerns about UNI's governance were raised in July 2021 by @cobie
