Introducing Dolce Vita - Empowering Aave Governance with seamless operations
Hello Aave community,
We are thrilled to introduce “Dolce Vita”, the latest new service from Aave Chan Initiative.
Dolce Vita is not just a product; it’s a commitment to enhancing the Aave Protocol by efficiently managing essential, yet often, unnoticed tasks behind the scenes that are key in the success of governance.
Motivation:
In the dynamic landscape of decentralized finance, the Aave community is pushing the boundaries of innovation.
While Aave has undoubtedly emerged as a frontrunner in the decentralized finance space, the success and resilience of the protocol are often underpinned by tasks that operate behind the scenes.
Dolce Vita steps into this, acknowledging the importance of managing these “invisible” but critical functions that sustain the Aave ecosystem.
Therefore, the creation of Dolce Vita is grounded in the recognition that managing these subtle yet critical aspects is key for the sustained success of Aave.
Dolce Vita serves as the connective tissue between the visionary governance facilitated by Orbit and the operational efficiency required by Skyward. It fills the gaps, allowing the Aave community to operate with the assurance that every facet of protocol management is meticulously handled.
To appreciate the significance of Dolce Vita, let’s explore the synergies it shares with ACI’s other initiatives, such as Orbit and Skyward, and why it will benefit Aave DAO.
A triad of Innovation: Orbit & Skyward, and how Dolce Vita steps in
- Orbit: Empowering Delegates for a robust ecosystem
Orbit, Aave DAO delegate platform funding initiative, empowers community delegates to actively contribute to the Aave ecosystem.
As delegates play a pivotal role in the governance and decision-making processes, Dolce Vita complements Orbit by providing the necessary infrastructure to automate revenue accrual and ensure the efficient functioning of delegated tasks. This synergy streamlines the operational aspects, allowing delegates to focus on their primary mission – advancing the Aave protocol.

- Skyward: Elevating DAO services
Skyward, introduced as a free service for the Aave DAO by the Aave Chan Initiative, adds another layer to the ACI and Aave DAO ecosystem.
Skywards allows anyone, regardless of their technical skills, to propose ideas, and the ACI will provide first-class service to make sure the idea is crafted into the standard proposal; the process is seamless, and eventually, English words from an idea are transformed into code able to improve the protocol.
Dolce Vita aligns seamlessly with Skyward. By coordinating with every service provider involved in a proposal, the ACI ensures the entire governance process is as smooth and seamless as possible. This efficiency contributed to the excellent reputation of the Aave DAO with third-party protocols “It’s easy to work with Aave.”
