**TL:DR**
As outlined in the [new whitelisting process](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/proposal-to-update-the-whitelist-process/217), this is a proposal to increase the UNI capFactor from cap1 to cap2 ($1M -\> $3M).
**The Proposal**
This is a proposal to increase the UNI cap tier from cap1 to cap2. UNI currently has \>$1.8M in adjusted liquidity and has surpassed its $1M cap essentially since its inception.
Uniswap is one of the oldest and most respected projects on Ethereum; this may make it deserving of a higher cap tier on Balancer.
**What is UNI?**
UNI is the governance token of Uniswap, it currently has a \>$600M market cap. The uniswap platform currently transacts more volume than any other decentralized exchange.
