The Uniswap Foundation has <a href="https://gov.uniswap.org/t/governance-proposal-complete-initial-funding-of-the-uniswap-foundation/21956" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">proposed</a> a $62.37 million fund allocation, and an on-chain vote is scheduled for Oct. 4 to decide on it. 
These funds are intended to strengthen various aspects of the Uniswap ecosystem, including developer support and research initiatives. 
The foundation also mentioned plans to expand its Hooks ecosystem, designed for Uniswap v4, in the future.

 In our initial UF proposal, we broke our funding request into two tranches. We received our first portion last year. We are requesting the remainder of our funds in this post. We will kick off the formal governance vote to send the remainder of funds next Wednesday 10/4.— Uniswap Foundation (@UniswapFND) <a href="https://twitter.com/UniswapFND/status/1707029845073666321?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">September 27, 2023</a>
