According to Foresight News, DeFi risk manager Gauntlet has received funding from the Uniswap Foundation and will focus on designing and specifying incentive plans to benefit the Uniswap protocol. Gauntlet plans to launch a new department, Gauntlet Applied Research, which will focus specifically on issues related to the DAO ecosystem.

Gauntlet will deliver three pieces of research to the Uniswap DAO: the first will be a quantitative framework that the DAO can use to evaluate the success or failure of the Uniswap protocol; the second will be an analysis of the behavior of traders and liquidity providers; and the third will be a proposal for at least three incentive mechanisms to enable the DAO to achieve its goals. Gauntlet expects all three deliverables to be completed by June 2023.
