Dear Uniswap,

We, the HEX community, are reaching out as a unified voice to address the undue restriction of HEX from the Uniswap platform.

Understanding the Issue:

HEX launched in early December 2019 as a trustless personal savings contract that has attracted a large community of dedicated supporters of true DeFi. This community comes together around values such as asset self-custody and using unstoppable smart contracts that replace components of legacy finance. These core principles drew the HEX community to Uniswap very early, as the first Uniswap V1 liquidity pool containing HEX was deployed on December 4, 2019. Since then, HEX has proven itself to be a completely legitimate asset at the core of a growing ecosystem by operating 100% flawlessly, trustlessly, and transparently. Most importantly, the HEX community operates in good faith amongst themselves and the broader crypto ecosystem. Despite this, HEX trading on the Uniswap front end was unfairly disabled which has limited the available trading interface options for users and goes against the principles of decentralization which originally aligned the HEX community with Uniswap.

Why Relisting HEX Matters:

• Decentralization and Autonomy: The fundamental principle of decentralized exchanges is the ethos of open, permissionless access. Any form of unexpected delisting contradicts the very essence of decentralization, leading to centralization of power and control, which we collectively stand against.
• Community's Trust: Uniswap has become a critical part of the DeFi ecosystem, thanks to the trust and participation of its user community. This trust hinges on users having unrestricted access to trade assets of their choice. Relisting HEX will reinforce community trust and uphold Uniswap's commitment to serving its users' interests.
• Market Diversity and Resilience: The strength of the crypto market lies in its diversity. By allowing various tokens to coexist, decentralized exchanges endorse innovation and competition, contributing to a more resilient and dynamic market.
• Supporting Innovation: HEX comes with its unique mechanisms and financial dynamics. Whether or not one supports the vision of the HEX community, its right to participate in the open market is crucial for preserving the innovative spirit of the crypto space.

Call to Action:

We urge Uniswap to prove its commitment to the principles of decentralization by relisting HEX. This action is not just about one token; it's about upholding the integrity of what decentralization stands for. It's about protecting the community’s freedom to choose, fostering innovation, and ensuring that centralized power does not inhibit our collective future.
