The Uniswap Foundation announced that the Snapshot vote for the "Activate Uniswap Protocol Governance" proposal will be released on March 1, 2024, and the on-chain vote will be released on March 8, 2024. The proposal suggests upgrading the protocol, with proposed changes including:

1. Upgrading Uniswap Protocol Governance to enable permissionless and programmatic protocol fee collection;

2. Distributing any protocol fees proportionally to UNI token holders who have staked and delegated their voting power;

3. Allowing governance to continue controlling core parameters: which pools need to pay fees and the size of the fees.
