Uniswap Foundation has allocated nearly $3.9 million to executive salaries, accounting for 22% of its total expenditures in 2024, raising concerns about high compensation levels. This is notable as the foundation distributed just under $10 million in grants, substantially less than Optimism Grants Council's $63.5 million budget. Comparatively, Optimism spent around $2.1 million on staff compensation, highlighting a stark contrast in operational cost efficiency.
