QuickSwap, a decentralized exchange operating across multiple EVM chains including Polygon and Base, has launched a Snapshot governance vote to temporarily redirect 80% of its protocol revenue toward expansion, up from the current 20% toward the DAO. The vote closes on August 10, 2026 at 12:00 PM UTC, and the new revenue split would last approximately 90 days if approved. This proposal follows a series of aggressive governance decisions, including the ‘Trial of Fire’ program in October 2024 that directed 100% of certain revenue streams toward $QUICK buybacks and burns. In July 2026, QuickSwap also approved the burn of 20 million QUICK tokens, roughly 2% of the total supply, with approximately 5.8 million votes in favor against just 26 votes against. Community members have raised concerns about whether the ‘temporary’ nature of the proposal will hold, with skeptics worried about the potential for extensions.
