US EditionAave passes landmark vote ending months-long fight over who controls protocol revenue
The vote sends all gross revenue from Aave-branded products to the DAO treasury and gives Aave Labs new funding after a months-long fee dispute.
- On Sunday, Aave DAO passed the "Aave Will Win" proposal with nearly 75% support, redirecting 100% of revenue from all Aave-branded products to the DAO and consolidating economic rights under the AAVE token.
- This vote resolves a months-long dispute dating back to December, when delegates discovered that Aave Labs had quietly redirected swap-related fees away from the DAO treasury during the integration of trading aggregator CoWSwap.
- Aave Labs will receive a $25 million stablecoin grant and 5,000 AAVE tokens vesting over four years. Founder Stani Kulechov called the measure "the most important proposal in Aave's history," framing it as ending "value leakage."
- The DAO is now responsible for funding Aave Labs, which commits to working exclusively on Aave-related products. Protocol revenue reached $140 million in 2025, with Aave.com and Aave Pro swaps generating $10 to $20 million additionally.
- Kulechov envisions scaling from $40 billion to $1 trillion in assets under management, supported by the Aave App, which targets mainstream users with a "fintech-like experience" and $1 million account protection per user.
