Thanks for the detailed reply. I appreciate the improved tone and community engagement. However, we’re still avoiding the elephant in the room.

**The Core Governance Problem:**  
How will you address the voting power centralization issue? According to multiple forensic analyses, Labs and the founder control 600K+ voting power (likely significantly more). This has never been officially disclosed.

**Why This Matters:**  
This concentration creates hyper-centralization regardless of whatever AAVE tokens you’re requesting in this proposal. You currently possess sufficient power to:  
∙ Pass any proposal unilaterally  
∙ Veto any community initiative

**What’s Needed Before Progress:**

1. Complete voting power disclosure - all Labs/founder-controlled wallets

2. Clear governance policy - limiting concentration and requiring transparency
