Wormhole Picked as Uniswap’s Governance Bridge to BNB Chain



Uniswap's community has spoken and Wormhole is the choice for the new governance messaging bridge. The final proposal is set to come soon.
Uniswap Chooses Wormhole for BNB Chain Bridge
The Uniswap community has voted for Wormhole to be the bridge for its cross-chain governance messaging between Ethereum and BNB Chain once Uniswap v3 arrives. The choice for Wormhole comes just over a week after Uniswap confirmed it will deploy on BNB Chain.
The community finalized the vote on January 31 with 62% going for Wormhole over the three other bridges: Celer Network, LayerZero, and Debrige. The win for Wormhole gives the bridge invaluable preference as the infrastructure service for Uniswap v3 users on BNB Chain to participate in Uniswap’s Ethereum-based governance.
“Thank you to all the DAO members who participated in the temperature check vote to make Wormhole the preferred bridge provider for the proposed deployment of @Uniswap v3 on @BNBCHAIN!” Wormhole wrote on Twitter.
The vote will put Wormhole in the final governance proposal that will eventually be put up for a vote. Thusly, the recent vote does not guarantee Wormhole as the bridge as the final deployment proposal vote still remains.
Uniswap expects to complete the bridge to BNB Chain by Q2 in 2023. Uniswap has a self-imposed deadline for April 1-- the date when its v3 code unlocks and becomes open-source-- to deploy onto BNB Chain before any copycats can emerge.
The 62% victory from Wormhole does not come without any competitiveness. The first “temperature check” vote on the Uniswap went overwhelmingly to Celer Network, but the community ultimately rejected the proposal from Celer’s CEO.
Sam Kessler of CoinDesk also reported that a16 would have voted for LayerZero in the “temperature check” but was unable. Their 15 million tokens would have made LayerZero the preference in the “temperature check.”
The Uniswap DAO proposal places protocol security as the most important feature needed for cross-chain deployment.
“For cross-chain deployment proposals, we believe it is most important to optimize for protocol security — specifically, for community members to be able to make informed decisions based on all available information on risks to bridge security,” the proposal writes.
Bridges are notably vulnerable chokepoints in cryptocurrency. The Wormhole bridge is infamous for a $300 million hack in early 2022, while LayerZero has recently faced allegations of hosting a secret backdoor vulnerability in its code. Celer Network has no known exploits or hacks in its history.

Binance VIP Traders Informed of $4B Settlement Back in September

The exclusive gathering took place at a luxurious Singapore night club in September, where attendees engaged with Binance executives and probed about the potential settlement.
Binance reportedly hosted an exclusive dinner for its most significant market makers in September. The gathering, held at a prestigious Singapore nightclub, was an intimate setting where select VIP traders gained insights into the impending $4 billion settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice, according to a recent report from Bloomberg.
The private dinner, organized for Binance's top traders, unfolded in the upscale 1880 members-only club. Attendees, consisting of market makers and traders, engaged in discussions with Binance executives about the company's legal challenges. The conversations revolved around the potential $4 billion fine, leaving attendees convinced that Binance could afford and would settle such a substantial amount.
Attendees' Perspectives
Reports suggest that attendees, after breaking into smaller groups, sought clarification on Binance's legal troubles. They left the dinner with a heightened expectation of the $4 billion settlement, emphasizing the significant financial impact it would have on the exchange.
Former CEO Changpeng Zhao was notably absent from the gathering, with the then-head of regional markets, Richard Teng, representing the company.
In response to the reports, a Binance spokesperson disputed certain aspects of the event's depiction while refraining from specifying the inaccuracies, as per The Block. This discrepancy in accounts raises questions about the transparency surrounding Binance's legal challenges and its communication with stakeholders.
Implications of the Settlement
Binance’s $4 billion settlement with U.S. authorities, including the Department of Justice, Department of the Treasury, and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, marked one of the largest corporate settlements in U.S. history.
The resolution concluded a criminal investigation into allegations of money laundering and sanctions violations, settling many of Binance's legal troubles in the U.S. However, Binance.US and Changpeng Zhao still face a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
