Aave Labs came up with a proposal called 'Aave to Win' to renegotiate and align interests with the AAVE DAO. The proposal suggests that Aave DAO should receive all product revenues from Aave Labs, recommends setting up a foundation to manage the Aave brand, and also requests $25 million in cash and 75,000 AAVE tokens (roughly $33.3 million).
I see a lot of so-called reputable thought leaders in the DeFi space shouting that this is a 'huge win' and 'absolutely great news'...
But Marc Zeller is not happy at all. He said, 'You guys have been completely fooled,' and claims this is a narrative being shaped by KOLs and proxy accounts.
Marc proposed that Labs' revenue must undergo independent revenue verification, income flowing to the DAO should be defined and verified by independent auditors, the foundation managing trademarks and the brand must be independent, and any entity requesting funds from the DAO and receiving tokens must fully disclose wallet information transparently... Honestly, these demands don’t seem unreasonable, right?
