The Aave Swapper has been deployed! It is now available as a public good for Aave contributors to exchange assets directly from the treasury contract while minimizing MEV and price-impact where possible.
Till date, the DAO relied on custom one-use contracts in order to accomplish the swap of one token for another, e.g. BAL <> AAVE, acquisition of CRV, acquisition of B-80BAL-20WETH, etc. All these exchanges required significant time to develop, test, and review, all while reinventing the wheel every time for something that should be easy to reuse. Aave Swapper facilitates swaps of tokens by the DAO without the constant need to review the contracts that do so.
