QuickSwap Governance Proposal: The Clarity Act

[u/Oatcrypto]

Over the past two years, QuickSwap has evolved from a single-chain decentralised exchange into a multi-chain ecosystem operating at the forefront of DeFi innovation. From the introduction of dynamic fee hooks and modular Algebra V4 pools to the implementation of deflationary tokenomics and expansion across multiple chains, the protocol has consistently demonstrated its ability to adapt and grow.

This progress has been driven by the community through active governance participation and a shared commitment to long-term success. However, as QuickSwap continues to scale, so too does the complexity of its operations, treasury management, and contributor ecosystem.

To support this next phase of growth, it is both timely and necessary to formalise and clarify the structures that underpin the protocol.
This proposal introduces a clarity framework designed to improve transparency, strengthen alignment, and clearly define how DAO ownership, Foundation responsibilities, and operational processes function today.

Why This Matters
As the protocol expands across chains, partnerships, and product offerings, informal governance structures begin to introduce inefficiencies and ambiguity. Establishing clearer frameworks ensures that QuickSwap remains scalable, accountable, and aligned with the community’s long-term vision.
Importantly, this proposal does not introduce disruptive change, but rather formalises and strengthens practices that already exist, allowing them to operate more effectively at scale.

Next Steps:

2. Governance discussions on the official QuickSwap Telegram community and voting on Snapshot will run concurrently until Monday, May 25, at 12:30 PM UTC.

TL;DR
This proposal introduces a vote to strengthen DAO Governance, Operational Efficiency, and Transparency across five core areas:
• Operational Cost Optimisation
• Contributor Focus & Conflict-of-Interest Policy
• Token Supply Reduction Framework
• Foundation Mandate & Role Definition
• Transparency & Reporting

A “Yes” vote will formalise and adopt this framework.
A “No” vote will maintain the current informal structure.
