Why this proposal matters, and what gets lost in the noise Let me keep this grounded. Aave is one of the very few DAOs that consistently produces real, recurring protocol revenue at scale. That engine did not run on autopilot. Over the past three years, it has been maintained, u [...]

DeFi will win The Snapshot vote is now closed. Despite an unfair timeline and every practical disadvantage stacked against the DAO, participation broke records, with 1,8M total voting power expressed. That is not a defeat for decentralization. It is the opposite of apathy, and th [...]

Who Owns 'Aave': Aave Labs vs Aave DAO The recent Paraswap to CowSwap migration on aave.com looks like a minor product update. In reality, it exposed a deeper and long-standing tension inside Aave. The conflict is not about CowSwap, fees, or even UX. It is about ownership. Who [...]

We acknowledge @aave unilaterally escalated the proposal to Snapshot without resolving discussion, without clear consensus, and without consent from @eboadom We’ve posted our position in response to this unprecedented interference in the DAO governance process. Worst outcome th [...]

The recent DAO alignment proposal has been moved to Snapshot after extensive discussion. We realize the community is very interested in a path forward and is ready to make a decision. Time for tokenholders to weigh in and vote.

A governance dispute has erupted in Aave - After a CoWSwap integration routed fees to Aave Labs instead of the DAO, potentially diverting ~$10M annually, prompting proposals to seize IP, brand, and domains. - Aave Labs responded with a rushed Snapshot vote on brand asset transf [...]

Wintermute founder Evgeny Gaevoy said Wintermute has invested in AAVE since 2022, participates in its governance, and that he personally holds AAVE, while having no equity exposure to Aave Labs. He said the AAVE governance dispute centers on token value accrual and mismatched exp [...]

To be very clear: - This is not, in ethos, my proposal. Aave Labs has (for whatever reason) unilaterally submitted my proposal to vote in a rush, with my name on it, and without notifying me at all. If asked, I would not have approved it. - It was not my intention to submit the v [...]

I'm just catching up with the evolving AAVE drama. AAVE is now down 20% amid accusations of revenue theft and a rushed 'hostile' governance vote. There are big implications for the future of the token, and all other tokens with equity entities. AAVE has been the clear DeFi win [...]

The hostile takeover of AAVE by @StaniKulechov is going as planned. The NAY vote is now at 64%. If nothing changes, AAVE should be considered a private entity with a mock governance structure. AAVE token holders will be diluted hard in the future.

This is not only the most important proposal in the history of the Aave governance but also will have a long lasting impact on the DAO model and how tokens should be valued. Aave token holders, users, builders, investors are invited to join the debate and vote. DeFi will win.

It is honestly so disappointing that it’s almost 2026 and we’re still debating about Equity vs. Tokens. What’s most frustrating is that this has been a solvable issue this entire time: All revenue generated by the protocol and any protocol-affiliated products goes to a treasur [...]

ELI5 on the @aave situation : - AAVE Labs created Aave Lend and the DAO - DAO owns the Aave smart contracts, captures protocol revenue in treasury and governs the protocol - LABS owns everything else frontend, infra, code, IP, brand, mobile app etc - LABS then creates Horizo [...]
