Aave DAO Faces Sovereignty Showdown Over Control of Protocol

  • Aave DAO member tulipking has proposed a “poison pill” plan to seize Aave Labs’ IP, branding, equity, and past revenue.
  • The move follows concerns that front-end revenue changes, including the CoW Swap integration, bypassed DAO approval.
  • The proposal underscores broader tensions over governance, revenue control, and the role of for-profit entities in DeFi protocols.

A renewed governance dispute has surfaced within Aave after a DAO participant proposed a fundamental restructuring of the protocol’s relationship with Aave Labs. The proposal would shift ownership of Aave’s intellectual property, branding, and corporate equity from Aave Labs to the DAO that governs the protocol.

The initiative, authored by a contributor known as tulipking, argues that recent decisions by Aave Labs indicate a shift towards operating Aave as a private enterprise rather than a DAO-governed protocol. At the centre of the proposal is a legal “poison pill” strategy intended to reclaim control for AAVE token holders.

Tulipking pointed to the redirection of front-end swap fees following the CoW Swap integration as evidence of a unilateral move that bypassed DAO approval. The proposal contends that monetising the Aave brand, frontend, and user base without governance consent amounts to the effective privatisation of community-owned assets.

In response, the plan advocates initiating legal proceedings to transfer all Aave-related code, documentation, trademarks, and intellectual property to the DAO. It also seeks to claim full ownership of Aave Labs’ equity, effectively converting the company into a DAO-controlled subsidiary.

The proposal extends further by calling for the recovery of all historical revenue generated from Aave-branded products, with reclaimed funds directed to the DAO treasury. Additional measures include freezing DAO funding to Aave Labs and appointing a committee to oversee the legal and operational transition.

Tulipking characterised the proposal as deliberately extreme, framing it as a mechanism to force alignment with DAO governance or a complete separation. The dispute highlights persistent tensions within decentralised governance, particularly around revenue allocation, tokenholder rights, and the balance of power between DAOs and affiliated companies.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
