Welcome to the forum @shawman123!
This additional allocation is being discussed over here if you want to join: Initial discussion: AAVE reserve emission for safety and ecosystem incentives
Some important things to note from that thread are:
- LEND is an old token, it is likely that a chunk of the supply 15-30% won’t get migrated at any point, almost nullifying the additional tokens.
- The additional tokens serve a purpose that incentivizes growth of the protocol as well as better secures it - they’re not just being created to fund a team or something silly.
- The tokens do have a release schedule, so after 1 year only 500k of the 3000k will be in circulation at that point, this allows the growth to better adopt this additional allocation.
Though there’s a lot more feedback in the thread itself. Cheers!
