The Aave community has voted in favor of the 'Aave Will Win' proposal, a pivotal framework that consolidates economic rights under the AAVE token, redirecting 100% of revenue from all Aave-branded products back to the DAO. This shift grants the DAO responsibility for funding Aave Labs' activities, with a $25 million stablecoin grant and 5,000 AAVE token allocation approved.
The proposal resolves a dispute that began when swap fees were redirected away from the community treasury, decisively favoring token holders. With protocol revenue projected to match $140 million in 2026, the Aave community is poised for significant growth, targeting mainstream users with a 'fintech-like experience' and expanding collateral options. The team plans to invest in agentic AI infrastructure for developers building on Aave, with a stated target of scaling from $40 billion to $1 trillion.
