Thanks to Tally’s support, Uniswap DAO reached Stage 1 of gov security under Anticapture.
In 2024, the Blockful team got a grant from Uniswap Foundation to audit Uniswap DAO governance using the Anticapture governance security framework. After economic and smart contract reviews, we were able to identify robust security measures and well-configured parameters in place. However, Tally’s domains were still susceptible to DNS attacks. Uniswap delegates do most of their voting through Tally, and a compromised interface could render all security efforts useless and open the doors for a...

End-to-End Anticapture: The DAOs You're In Might Be at Risk
Governance Security needs to become a trend before governance attacks do.Governance attacks are happening—way too oftenWe’re watching governance attacks happen right in front of us—more often than anyone would like to admit. The worst part? Measures are usually reactionary. Emergency patches. Quick fixes. Or, worse, centralized responses to prevent entire treasuries from being drained. In some cases, the DAOs just vanish. https://x.com/CryptoChiefNews/status/1892574424127160388DAOs built grea...
