[TEMP CHECK] AL Service Provider Proposal
Vote Result: YES
Rationale
Given our previous thoughts on v4, and the clear deliverables and timeframe outlined in this proposal, combined with the relatively reasonable cost of $12M GHO over 1 year to develop v4, approving this proposal is a no-brainer. From a cost-benefit perspective, this proposal seems entirely positive. Moreover, to alleviate any concerns about ‘other service providers being able to do this for a lower cost’, Aave Labs has institutional experience and history with Aave and is best placed to join the ranks as a service provider and develop v4 under the scope outlined. This proposal also addresses the feedback post v3’s development where there was a retroactive payment made - asking for the funds at the start is the best move to make and aligns Aave Labs with other Aave service provider models.
Therefore, we will vote YES in favour of this proposal.
