Governance Weekly Recap

Week of May 8, 2023

Highlights

  1. The AIP to upgrade the Safety Module succeeded with well over 1M AAVE in the YAE column. Part 2 has also passed, as BGD Labs notes in the forum.
  2. @llamaxyz has broken the original Ethereum collector contract proposal into three separate Snapshot proposals (see below).
  3. The proposal to increase MaticX Supply Cap on Polygon v3, which was combined with a correction of the Aave Grants DAO aUSDT allowance, failed — in part due to “differing scopes” with the combined proposal, which had been put forward in this way to “reduce governance overhead.” Forum discussion here.
  4. Gauntlet and BGD Labs highlight an important improvement to the pricing mechanism for LSTs on Aave — via the Chainlink Synchronicity Price Adapter.
  5. @MarcZeller proposes converting Aave DAO awETH holdings to liquid staking tokens — and a spirited exchange follows.
  6. Keep abreast of other Aave News!
