Uniswap’s “DeFi Education Fund” dumped

Uniswap had been tangled in controversy because of its DeFi Education Fund which is a lobby fund. The DEF was introduced by Harvard Law Blockchain – a student organization aimed at increasing the adoption and awareness of the blockchain technology. The lobby fund has received $20 million or 1 million UNI tokens to be used for the purpose and the fund is to be allocated over a period of five years. Many users were not in support of the DEF already; however, the fund liquidated $10 million right away which further worsened the situation. The organization argues that the liquidation gives them more flexibility in spending the funds.
