Hey everyone! I’ve been in crypto for over 8 years now, with a Master’s degree in Blockchain & Distributed Ledger Technologies and more than 5 years of full-time experience as a crypto analyst. Over that time, I’ve developed a deep understanding of DeFi and especially Aave, which I see as the most secure and battle-tested lending protocol in the space.
I’m not a company, a service provider, or backed by any institution – just an individual like you who cares about the long-term success of Aave and its DAO.
Why You Should Delegate to Me
I believe that active governance is key to Aave’s future growth and decentralization. Many token holders don’t have the time or resources to review every proposal, and that’s where I come in. If you delegate to me, I’ll make sure your voice is heard and that governance decisions are made in the best interest of the Aave community.
What sets me apart is my mix of analytical expertise and my hands-on approach in this ecosystem: I break down complex proposals, evaluate their impact, and vote in a way that aligns with the values of decentralization, security, and sustainable growth.
What Voters Can Expect from Me
Here’s what I commit to:
I’ll vote in the best interest of the Aave DAO and its token holders.
I’ll support decentralization and the long-term sustainability of Aave.
I’ll analyze proposals deeply and share my rationale in a clear, transparent way.
I’ll stay independent – no hidden agenda, no external funding (bribing), just honest governance.
Some Closing Thoughts
I strongly believe that Aave’s strength lies in its community. Whether you hold 1 AAVE or 1.000, your voice matters. By delegating to me, you’re not just choosing someone to vote for you – you’re helping to build a more engaged and resilient DAO.
Let’s make Aave governance simpler, more transparent, and more effective – together.
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!
I’m excited to actively contribute to the DAO and bring another perspective to governance. Looking forward to collaborating with all of you, engaging in constructive discussions, and helping to further decentralize Aave.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
