:rocket: Introduction

Hey Aave fam! I’m Philipp. I’ve been navigating the crypto space for over 8 years. For the past 5 years, I’ve worked full-time as a crypto analyst, dissecting protocols and market dynamics.

I view Aave as the crown jewel of DeFi—the most resilient and battle-tested lending protocol in existence. My goal is to ensure it stays that way while remaining innovative.

Important: I am a 100% independent individual. I am not affiliated with any VC, service provider, or institution. My only incentive is the long-term health of the Aave ecosystem.

:balance_scale: Why Delegate to Me?

Active governance is the heartbeat of a DAO, but I know how time-consuming it is to keep up with every ARFC and AIP. By delegating to me, you leverage my technical background and analytical capacity:

  • Deep-Dive Analysis: I don’t just vote “Yes” or “No.” I analyze risk parameters, collateral onboarding, and interest rate models.

  • Security First: Given my background, I prioritize protocol safety and the integrity of the Safety Module above short-term yields.

  • Education & Clarity: I specialize in making complex governance shifts understandable for everyone. Transparency isn’t just a buzzword; it’s my methodology.

:shield: My Governance Pillars

If you delegate your AAVE/stkAAVE to me, you can expect a commitment to these four values:

  1. Sustainable Growth: Supporting the expansion of GHO and new V3 deployments while maintaining strict risk thresholds.

  2. Decentralization: Opposing any moves that lead to central points of failure or undue institutional influence.

  3. Transparency: Providing clear rationales for my votes on-chain and through my social channels.

  4. Independence: Zero “bribes,” zero hidden agendas. Just data-driven decision-making.

:chequered_flag: Closing Thoughts

Aave’s strength lies in its community. Whether you hold 1 AAVE or 1,000, your stake represents a voice in the future of finance. I would be honored to represent that voice and help Aave remain the liquidity backbone of the decentralized world.

Let’s build a more resilient DAO together.

Cheers,

Philipp (phenk53.eth)

Most people following the forum don’t know @phenk53 yet, but I’m sure they will. I was able to convince him to become a delegate and engage with proposals and vote on TEMP CHECKS and ARFC as well as AIPs from now on.
I think he will be a great addition to the DAO, further decentralizing it.
I met him when I moved to Malta and he was already able to meet a lot SP and delegates at ETHCC just recently.
If you are an Aave holder, consider delegating to him as well. This will help the DAO to get again another view on proposals and further decentralize the DAO.
It’s great seeing another delegate platform joining Aave and hopefully more are to come.
Wishing you a good start!

As a new delegate, I am committed to being transparent with my voting record and rationale. Below is a summary of my recent votes.

Date Voted: September 03, 2025

7. Proposal: Onboard sUSDe November expiry PT tokens on Aave V3 Core Instance (AIP Onchain)

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted FOR this AIP as the previous sUSDe PT onboarding proved successful in attracting inflows and deepening Aave’s market. Extending support to the November expiry ensures continuity, facilitates rollover demand, and helps maintain Aave as a key venue for PT liquidity.

Date Voted: September 03, 2025

8. Proposal: Multi eMode Update and Creation - rsETH, ezETH, wstETH and weETH (AIP Onchain)

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted FOR as this update brings consistent eMode parameters for LRTs on Arbitrum and Core, aligns risk with wstETH, and supports the upcoming DRIPs campaign while meeting user demand for ETH borrowing.

Date Voted: September 04, 2025

9. Proposal: [ARFC] Aave v2 deprecation (tech) - next phase

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted FOR this proposal because it’s a smart and necessary step in winding down Aave v2. The updates don’t disrupt users but make the system healthier by allowing full liquidations, cleaning up old bad debt with ClinicStewardV2, and aligning v2 more closely with v3. With a lot of liquidity still in v2, it’s important to phase it out responsibly—and this proposal does just that.

Date Voted: September 04, 2025

10. Proposal: [ARFC] Add Fluid Protocol to flashBorrowers

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted FOR as Fluid Protocol has been a reliable and long-standing partner in the Aave ecosystem. Extending flashBorrower access to their deployments on Polygon and Avalanche strengthens integrations, supports GHO growth, and provides more flexibility for users without adding systemic risk.

Date Voted: September 04, 2025

11. Proposal: [ARFC] Aave v2 Deprecation - Update

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted FOR this proposal as it further supports the orderly wind-down of Aave v2 across Ethereum, Polygon, and Avalanche. By adjusting key parameters—raising base borrow rates, lowering Uoptimal, and increasing the reserve factor—it creates stronger incentives for users to migrate to v3, while preventing extreme borrowing costs. These changes align incentives, discourage idle capital in v2, and help safeguard the long-term health of the Aave ecosystem.

Date Voted: September 05, 2025

12. Proposal: [TEMP CHECK] Onboard USDG to Aave V3 Core Instance

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted FOR as USDG brings a fully regulated, fiat-backed stablecoin to Aave V3. Backed 1:1 by cash and Treasuries, MiCA-compliant, and supported by Paxos with a Chainlink oracle, it adds both trust and diversity to Aave’s stablecoin markets.

18. Proposal: Add EURC to Avalanche V3 Instance

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted FOR this proposal as onboarding EURC on Avalanche V3 strengthens Aave’s position in Europe with a trusted, fully backed Euro stablecoin from Circle. Adding EURC diversifies stablecoin offerings, enhances liquidity, and opens Aave to a broader user base seeking Euro-denominated markets. This is a strategic step to expand adoption and utility across DeFi.

Date Voted: September 15, 2025

19. Proposal: Raise sUSDe and USDe November expiry PT tokens caps on Aave V3 Core Instance

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted FOR this proposal as raising the caps for sUSDe and USDe November PT tokens ensures a smooth rollover and accommodates strong user demand. Allowing higher deposits prevents capital from leaving Aave for alternatives and helps sustain inflows that have already proven beneficial to the protocol.

Date Voted: September 15, 2025

20. Proposal: Plasma aDI path activation

Date Voted: September 22, 2025

24. Proposal: Aave V2 deprecation

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted FOR this proposal as it is a responsible next step in winding down Aave v2. With significant liquidity still in v2, this careful deprecation is the right path forward.

Date Voted: September 22, 2025

25. Proposal: Aave V3.5 Plasma Activation

  • Vote: For

• Rationale: I voted FOR this proposal as activating Aave V3 on Plasma is a major step to expand into a high-performance, stablecoin-focused network. Plasma offers zero fees, fast execution, and stablecoin adoption, giving Aave a strategic first-mover advantage and new growth opportunities. This deployment comes also with strong technical and risk checks.

Date Voted: October 7, 2025

35. Proposal: Claim Aave v2 stkAAVE rewards

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted FOR this proposal because claiming the unclaimed stkAAVE rewards adds value to the DAO’s treasury instead of leaving funds idle. It’s a simple maintenance step that improves treasury efficiency and ensures all assets are properly managed.

Date Voted: October 8, 2025

36. Proposal: [ARFC] Aave v3.6 candidate

  • Vote: For

• • Rationale: I voted FOR this proposal. Aave v3.6 is a smart, incremental upgrade that improves gas efficiency, simplifies logic, and gives risk teams much more flexibility with liquid eModes. The changes don’t add complexity but make the system cleaner and safer overall. A solid, focused step forward for Aave’s infrastructure.

10

Date Voted: October 13, 2025

37. Proposal: Full Deprecation of DPI Across Aave Deployments

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I’m in favor. DPI has been inactive for a long time, and with the Chainlink feed being deprecated, it makes sense to finalize the process. The proposed approach is low-risk, keeps accounting clean, and avoids unnecessary maintenance costs. A sensible cleanup step for the protocol.

Date Voted: October 13, 2025

37. Proposal: Adopt The SEAL Safe Harbor Agreement

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted FOR this proposal. This is a great step for protocol security. The Safe Harbor framework gives whitehats legal protection to act fast during exploits, which can save millions in user funds. It adds an extra defensive layer without any downside for the DAO — smart, forward-looking move.

Date Voted: October 13, 2025

37. Proposal: Allow PyUSD as collateral

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I’m in favor. pyUSD is growing quickly and backed by PayPal — allowing it as collateral makes sense. Restoring the 75% LTV strengthens its utility within Aave without adding major risk.

Date Voted: October 13, 2025

37. Proposal: Gho Plasma Launch

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted yes. Deploying GHO on Plasma is the right move — Aave’s launch on Plasma has already been a huge success, and adding GHO now builds on that momentum. It strengthens GHO’s cross-chain presence and positions it as a core stablecoin in a fast, Bitcoin-secured ecosystem.

Date Voted: October 15, 2025

38. Proposal: [ARFC] TokenLogic - Phase II

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted yes. TokenLogic has delivered consistently strong results — from GHO growth to treasury efficiency — and this renewal ensures continuity. The expanded scope (GHO, sGHO, analytics) adds clear value, and the 12-month structure provides stability for long-term planning.

Date Voted: October 15, 2025

39. Proposal: [ARFC] Extend Ahab Funding

Date Voted: October 23, 2025

44. Proposal: [ARFC] Evolving Resilience: Security Services for Aave v4 <> Certora

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted FOR this proposal because Certora has proven to be a key security partner for Aave. Their work on formal verification, audits, and incident response has consistently protected the protocol. Expanding their role for Aave v4 — with fuzz testing and full-time coverage — strengthens the DAO’s security posture ahead of launch.

Date Voted: October 23, 2025

45. Proposal: [ARFC] Security Services for Aave Current Infrastructure <> Certora

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted yes. Certora has been a reliable long-term security partner for Aave, consistently delivering high-quality audits and governance reviews. The renewal is reasonable in scope and cost and ensures continuity of protection for the current infrastructure while v4 development moves forward.

Date Voted: October 23, 2025

46. Proposal: Slope2 Risk Oracle Activation On Core Ethereum, Linea

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted FOR this proposal because activating the Slope2 Risk Oracle improves Aave’s risk management automation. It enables smoother, data-driven interest rate adjustments during liquidity stress, reducing volatility for borrowers and protecting suppliers. This is a smart upgrade that makes Aave more adaptive and resilient.

Date Voted: October 23, 2025

47. Proposal: Add Fluid Protocol to flashBorrowers on Plasma

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted FOR this proposal — Fluid is a trusted Aave partner and has consistently added value to the ecosystem. Extending flashloan permissions to its new Plasma deployment supports integration, liquidity growth, and ecosystem consistency across networks.

Date Voted: October 23, 2025

48. Proposal: Onboard sUSDe and USDe to Aave V3 Avalanche Instance

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted FOR this proposal — adding sUSDe and USDe to the Avalanche instance is a strong move to expand stablecoin utility and yield-bearing collateral options. With incentives from Ava Labs and proven adoption on other networks, this should drive more liquidity and user activity on Aave Avalanche.

Date Voted: October 29, 2025

50. Proposal: [ARFC] AAVE Buybacks program: An update

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted FOR this proposal — a permanent AAVE buyback program strengthens long-term token value, optimizes treasury use, and aligns incentives across the DAO. With TokenLogic and the AFC managing execution, it ensures disciplined capital deployment and sustained buy pressure backed by real protocol revenue.

Date Voted: October 29, 2025

51. Proposal: [ARFC] Aave DAO <> BGD Labs. Phase 6 & Project E

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted FOR this proposal — BGD Labs has been a cornerstone of Aave’s technical progress and security, and Phase 6 ensures that continuity. The addition of Project E is an exciting step that lets BGD innovate independently while still sharing 55 % of revenues with the DAO — a true win-win for sustainability, innovation, and ecosystem growth.

Date Voted: October 29, 2025

52. Proposal: [ARFC] Aave V4 Security Funding

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted FOR this proposal — a strong, multi-layered security program is essential before Aave V4’s mainnet launch. The $1.5 M budget is well-structured, with Aave Labs pre-funding costs and only reimbursing verified expenses. This ensures accountability while giving the DAO confidence that V4 will launch with top-tier audit coverage and formal verification.

Date Voted: October 29, 2025

53. Proposal: Extend Ahab Funding

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted FOR this proposal — it’s a smart way to give Aave’s growth teams more flexibility while reducing governance overhead.

Date Voted: December 02, 2025

62. Proposal: [TEMP CHECK] Focussing the Aave V3 Multichain Strategy

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I’m voting for the Aave v3 Multichain Strategy: focusing on the high-value chains makes total sense for Aave.

Date Voted: December 08, 2025

63. Proposal: [ARFC] Onboard USDG to Aave V3 Core Instance

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted FOR because adding USDG strengthens Aave’s stablecoin offering with a highly regulated, fully backed asset from Paxos. USDG brings more choice for users, deeper liquidity, and potentially new demand for borrowing and supplying without introducing collateral risk at this stage. The Chainlink feed is already live, the parameters are conservative, and Paxos exploring incentives could further boost adoption. Basically: low risk, clear utility, and positive for Aave’s core market.

Date Voted: December 08, 2025

64. Proposal: XAUt Supply Cap and Debt Ceiling Adjustment on Aave V3 Core Instance

  • Vote: For

  • Rationale: I voted FOR this proposal because XAUt clearly has strong user demand, deep liquidity, and healthy collateral behavior. The market has matured since listing, pricing efficiency has improved, and liquidations would remain safe even at higher utilization. Increasing the debt ceiling and supply cap simply unlocks more capital efficiency for users without adding meaningful risk to Aave.

Date Voted: December 08, 2025

65. Proposal: Alter mUSD Oracle Price Implementation

Date Voted: December 28, 2025

68. Proposal: December Funding Update

  • Vote: YAE

  • Rationale: I voted FOR because this update strengthens the DAO’s financial runway, improves GHO liquidity and flexibility, and gives the AFC the tools it needs to manage treasury operations efficiently without unnecessary governance overhead.

72. Proposal: Orbit Program Renewal - Q1 and Q2 2026

  • Vote: YAE

  • Rationale: I voted FOR this proposal because active delegates provide real added value to the Aave DAO through their ongoing governance work, and it makes sense to fairly compensate this extra effort for the benefit of the community.
