Gauntlet Ends Partnership with Aave Citing Challenges with DAO

After four years as Aave's risk manager, Gauntlet cites inconsistent guidelines and DAO dysfunction as reasons for its departure.

Gauntlet, a blockchain risk management firm, is terminating its relationship with Aave, a leading decentralized lending platform.
The decision comes after four years of partnership, during which Gauntlet served as Aave's risk steward, overseeing platform risk levels and contributing to governance.
Gauntlet cites difficulties navigating inconsistent guidelines and unwritten objectives from Aave's largest stakeholders as key reasons for the split.
The departure has sparked mixed reactions within the Aave community, with some expressing disappointment and concerns over the lack of a clear offboarding process.
Aave is now seeking a replacement for Gauntlet to continue managing market risks and contributing to the protocol's governance.
