Simple Summary

This addendum proposes updates to the Boosters and reward structure for Merit Round 30. These changes are designed to reflect current market dynamics and improve the effectiveness of the Merit program.

Motivation

We want to create a new « Aave Aligned Frens Booster » boost, to reflect those partners, users and other third parties/protocols that are Aave aligned and have trusted Aave and Aave DAO when it comes to their resources.

Specification

Boosters Update

The following changes will be applied:

  • Add an Aave Aligned Frens Booster for an additional 5% rewards
  • Initial Aave Aligned Frens Booster will be to Infinity Team.

Next Steps

  1. Escalate this [ARFC-Addendum] proposal to a Snapshot vote for formal approval.
  2. If [ARFC Addendum] is approved in the Snapshot phase, the proposal will be canon and changes will be applied to Merit Round 30.
