Proposal to add support for v3 AAVE-ATOKEN (aka v3 aAAVE) (On Polygon, Avalanche, Optimism and Arbitrium) on Aave’s Snapshot governance
Summary
v3 aAAVE corresponds to AAVE token deposited in Aave v3 LendingPool.
Currently having v3 aAAVE doesn’t give you Snapshot voting power on Aave governance.
In the other hand, having v2 aAAVE equivalent of v3 aAAVE token but with AAVE token in Aave v2 LendingPool gives you Snapshot voting power.
Specifications
1. What is the link between the author of the AIP and the Asset?
Aave Protocol user and not core team, not Aave developer.
2. Provide a brief high-level overview of the project
Adding voting power to v3 aAAVE token can encourage v2 aAAVE holders to migrate to Aave v3.
It’s also giving voice on Aave governance to AAVE token holders of new blockchains where Aave wasn’t present before Aave v3 deployement.
3. Market data
Number of Aave tokens currently in each Blockchain (except Ethereum)
| Blockchain | AAVE Tokens (not deposited in Aave) | v2 aAAVE tokens | v3 aAAVE tokens |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polygon | 96,383 | 108,245 | 7,140 |
| Avalanche | 61984 | 22,949 | 38,942 |
| Arbitrium | 991 | - | 361 |
| Optimism | 366 | - | 285 |
Note: Aave total supply is 16,000,000. Most of Aave tokens are on Ethereum blockchain.
Risks
If this proposal is accepted it will give governance power to all v3 aAAVE token holders.
Aave token can be bridged between blockchains.
Yet it will also expose Aave governance to other blockchains sush as Arbitrium, Optimism.
