[TEMP CHECK] Aave Decentralized Acqui-Hire Framework

Hi @DaoMerger thanks for all the effort you’ve put into this. However, at this point, we’re not entirely convinced of the value for Aave:

  • There’s a lot of sell pressure that can be induced through this strategy if there’s backlash from holders - that’s not ideal for the AAVE token. Moreover, the optics are worse if a significant portion of the new supply is sold. That could have negative secondary effects in the market.
  • The hypothesis is interesting but it’s entirely untested. Attracting skilled teams sounds like a good idea on paper, but what are practical examples of teams here? As you pointed out yourself, the incentive for many of these teams to partake is not clear.
  • We also agree with the points made by @MrKris - there’s still a lot of depth missing in the proposal, and while it’s a good and interesting idea, we’re not convinced of it at the moment.
