We are more than happy to build any solution that advances and improves Aave DAO’s tooling.
The most recently proposed upgrade to the Aave Swapper is still to enter production. The buybacks could all be done via AIP each quarter with Admin Role oversight, however they are currently being performed manually to ensure operations continue unaffected.
Once the Aave Swapper has been upgraded, the DAO can access the full capabilities of Cowswap. The question then becomes is Ekubo better that Cowswap, if so great. If not, Paraswap is the most likely inclusion. On Paraswap, we can push a PR to tap into new liquidity sources or factories in a similar way to how we can also push upgrades to the Glue Solver serving Cowswap. The ability to push PRs enables TokenLogic to ensure the best pricing terms are sustained, to the benefit of Aave DAO.
However, we do note, anyone can propose an upgrade to the Aave Swapper tooling. The Aave Swapper is Open Source and has no dependencies on any Service Providers offering/existence within the Aave community.
