BGD is one of the few SPs that actually did something meaningful and impartial.
Sad to see you go.

Seeing this makes me really sad. @MarcZeller should take responsibility for coordinating and helping BGD Labs and Aave Labs reach a reconciliation.

@BGDLabs , letâs cut to the chase. The political games and governance capture by Labs and Stani are completely out in the open. When one entity controls all the levers and holds the protocol hostage, acting democratically is mathematically impossible.
I have one direct question for you: Are you open to participating in a Community Fork of the V3 codebase alongside ACI?
I challenge @MarcZeller to run a poll on X (Twitter) right now. You will instantly see that the silent majority of this community supports a fork over remaining in this toxic environment. We would appreciate it if you could share your definitive stance on this.
Letâs try to find a way on how to get back together. Letâs find a way to make AAVE itself as the community protocol. No new fork is required imo.

You suggest something they arenât ready to reconsider, unfortunately.

At TokenLogic, weâve had the privilege of working side by side with the team at BGD Labs for a long time, we have been close collaborators and become good friends.
Their impact on the Aave Protocol speaks for itself. From leading the architecture and evolution of Aave V3, to delivering Umbrella, to orchestrating multi-chain deployments and maintaining robust governance infrastructure, BGD consistently operated at an exceptional technical standard. The reliability, security mindset, and operational discipline they brought to every initiative strengthened the foundation of the entire ecosystem.
What stands out most to us, however, is how they approached the work. Thoughtful in discussion, principled in decision-making, and unwavering in their commitment to what serves the protocol best, they set a tone that elevated everyone building alongside them.
The Aave ecosystem is materially stronger because of BGDâs dedication and craftsmanship. Weâre grateful not only for what theyâve built, but for the partnership and friendship weâve built together along the way.
Weâre excited to see what they do next and will always appreciate everything theyâve contributed.

It is SAD , no doubt about it!
As Stani said this is the end of an old chapter , and I still hope there is still room for BGD in the AAVE new chapters.
For reference related to our off-boarding, we have started publishing the Aave Bored Guides. More information BGD. Aave Bored Guides
