Thank you @eboado for the concise and thoughtful summary.
At this point, it’s fair to say this ARFC discussion has achieved its main purpose: CLARITY.
The different positions are now well understood, and the key open questions are no longer about debate, but about follow-through.
As outlined in prior comments, there are two concrete areas where follow through was promised by Aave Labs:
-
The planned fee changes referenced here (https://governance.aave.com/t/velora-cowswap-integration-analysis/23620/11?u=josuempia)
-
The Aave Brand direction and commitments discussed here (https://governance.aave.com/t/how-aave-will-win/23792?u=josuempia).
For that reason, I believe this thread has largely run its course and can be closed.
Eboado has already done a thorough job summarizing the key takeaways including where ownership and stewardship currently sit, the practical limits involved, and the range of positions around a DAO-first principle. Any meaningful next steps can now proceed based on that shared clarity.
We now wait for @AaveLabs structures in their upcoming proposals.
