[ARFC] Merit - A New Aave-Alignment User Reward System

The current ARFC Addendum has been escalated to ARFC Snapshot.

Vote will start tomorrow, we encourage everyone to participate.

To allow distribution of pyUSD in aTokens as the reserve is currently at supply cap, the Risk steward will raise the supply cap to allow @ACI to deposit pyUSD and then distribute apyUSD to users.

After Snapshot monitoring, the current ARFC Snapshot has ended reaching both Quorum and YAE as winning option with 779.2K votes.

Therefore [ARFC-Addendum] Update Merit for Round 33 - Adding Gate.io has passed and it’s canon.

Sts/wS renewal will be on hold relative to the Balancer hack and the decision of @ChaosLabs to reduce the supply cap update. The current incentive round (Oct 31 - Nov 7) will be distributed as usual.

Reminder: this incentive is financed by Aave DAO through its budget + GEM airdrop
