While the ongoing tussle with Uniswap's deployment on the BNB Chain escalates, are large stakeholders playing with the protocol's future?
On the other hand, the Uniswap community decided at the renovation seminar that a "temperature measurement" proposal for the deployment of Uniswap v3 contract on the new chain was most applicable. Uniswap's Uni crackdown OTP holders won 80 per cent of the vote after allowing the transfer of fragmented trading centres to the BNB chain, commonly referred to as a competitor to Ethernet Fong.
A16Z's main rejection of the proposal
But things got stronger when Andreessen Horowitz,A16Z, a California venture capitalist who owns a large stake of 15 million Uni, voted against the offer. Because more than 1500 people voted against this measure on A16Z, some sceptics have come to doubt the ability of Uniswap governance to do things in the best interests of the protocol. These people with more tokens tend to have a higher proportion of voting rights and can significantly influence the roads taken by special proposals.

In the process of temperature measurement, the partners of the venture capital firm indicated that their plan was suitable for LayerZero as a road bridge for deployment. In an exchange held on January 31, Redmayne Lazarin, director of A16z engineering, issued the following comments:
Unequivocally, if we can do this technically, 16z will vote 15 million tokens for LayerZero. We will be able to update the vote in the next snapshot. Therefore, in order to achieve the effect of "human body temperature check", please calculate it in this way.
Consensys cast a negative vote
The next big wave of votes will come from Consensys, which is also responsible for creating the popular MetaMASK digital currency wallet. Based on the statistics provided by Tally, Web3 Development Co., Ltd. voted in favor of the proposal to deploy the third version of the decentralized exchange Uniswap on Binance's BNB chain.
Consensys, which cast nearly 7.03 million UNI tokens, is roughly equivalent to 17.58 per cent of the vote, further prompting the proposal to be posted on the BNB chain. By the time of the release, a total of 6882 votes had been drawn from Ma Zhen, and only 6.8 per cent of UNI tokens had participated in the voting process. At this stage, 77.56% of the participants agreed, 22.07% showed little interest, and 0.36% gave up.

Although the proposal was approved unanimously, the low level of participation left room for other stakeholders to endanger conclusions in unexpected ways. The votes of super-heavyweight investors such as Paradigm and PolyChain have not yet been counted, and whether there will be more dramatic conclusions remains to be seen. The voting process is expected to be completed on February 10.
