Blockchain at Berkeley would like to express its support for the Chaos Labs proposal.
We have confidence in the team, and think AAVE community will get a significant ROI by having Chaos Labs as an active contributor. While the mentioned initiatives are important, we think allowing Chaos Labs contributions to not be contained to a specific set of tasks will make this investment far more valuable. Dedicated headcount, taking payment in native currency, and contract renewal align incentives properly for Chaos Labs to make this deal worth the funding they are asking for.
We are excited about the plan to open the Chaos labs platform to whitelisted individuals, as well as the redundancy upon current risk vendor activities. Diversifying risk software, as well as the individuals who create the simulations, minimizes the trust needed in any single risk provider. The stakes are high, we are hopeful about bringing on an active contributor as invested in AAVE’s success as Chaos labs is.
