Overview
- Aave founder Stani Kulechov said a governance proposal will outline how off‑protocol revenues, such as front‑end and swap integration income, would be distributed to token holders.
- The forthcoming plan will address ownership and usage rules for Aave’s branding, domains, social channels, and front‑end gateways, alongside defined governance safeguards.
- AAVE rose roughly 10% after the announcement, reflecting investor optimism about clearer alignment between Aave Labs and the DAO.
- The update arrives after December’s high‑profile vote to move brand assets under DAO control was voted down, extending tensions over fee routing and decision authority.
- Kulechov framed the alignment push within a broader roadmap that includes Aave V4’s modular architecture and expansion into real‑world assets and institutional lending.
