Thank you, @EzR3aL , for the guidance. The TEMP CHECK has been officially posted.
Now, it is absolutely crucial for our community leaders, major partners, and delegates to step in and share their honest perspectives. If we stay silent, Aave Labs’ one-sided propaganda will dictate the future of this protocol.
Let’s speak plainly: This massive project is essentially being held hostage by dirty political games. Under the guise of transitioning to a “Foundation” and handing over the aave.com brand, they are extracting an exorbitant, unchecked grant while simultaneously trying to force the DAO into a V4 migration.
I have one critical question for the delegates, partners, and the broader community:
Do you genuinely believe that Aave Labs will build V4, openly document every single line of code, and gracefully hand it over to the DAO to be maintained by anyone in the future, the way BGD Labs did with V3?
Or is this forced V4 transition just the beginning of a permanent vendor lock-in? A mechanism designed to create a new dependency that guarantees endless “grant” and funding requests from the DAO treasury for years to come?
If the DAO is expected to pay a $51M premium to acquire these rights and establish a foundation, why is Aave Labs still dictating the terms and acting like the absolute boss of this ecosystem? The DAO is the employer, not the ATM.
We need your voices now more than ever. The future of Aave’s decentralization depends on it.
