I would place responsibility for that outcome in this order:

- Uniswap for providing a protocol-upgrade feedback mechanism with easy access to their treasure
- Uniswap again for not providing better guardrails given that voting-markets are a natural extension of portable-governance (we’re doing this in the open, everyone will know it’s coming)
- The person raiding the treasury

That’s it. If protocols don’t like it they can turn off delegation or blacklist, but that will effectively create another permission-layer . . . not very web3.

The implication seems to be that selling votes is OK as long as it’s permissioned, or that we are the guardians of ecosystem voting-power. In my view, it is incumbent upon protocols providing decision-mechanisms to provide safeguards, not The Index Cooperative. We are here to build and ship great products, not get bogged down in some protectionist ethos, and **great products make holders more prosperous over time which is really what this proposal does.**

You asked a what-if question, and while I agree that Index Coop would be _viewed_ as largely responsible, code is law and we’re pushing the limits of how we can leverage that for users . . . that’s just innovation. We’re already extracting the value from users and have [proven we can mishandle it](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/flipside-uni-delegation-post-mortem/2420) . . . why not give it back to them directly in their chosen asset and let the market be open? **If we do this in a permissioned way, someone will just do it permissionlessly and beat us out long term . . . imo.**
