Crypto: Aave Proposal Clears First Hurdle With 52.6% Support Amid...

Tokenholders backed a $42.5 million stablecoin package and 75,000 AAVE allocation for Aave Labs under a proposed DAO-funded revenue model.

Aave’s “Aave Will Win” framework passed its Temp Check vote, clearing the first formal stage of the protocol’s governance process.

On Sunday, the off-chain Snapshot vote closed with 52.58% voting in favor, 42% against and 5.42% abstaining. The result advances the measure to the Aave Request for Final Comment (ARFC) stage, where terms may be revised before any binding on-chain vote.

The framework asks tokenholders to approve up to $42.5 million in stablecoins and 75,000 Aave (AAVE) tokens for Aave Labs. In return, the organization would route 100% of revenue from Aave-branded products to the Aave DAO treasury under a DAO-funded operating model.

The narrow margin highlights a divided governance base as the protocol considers structural changes to its funding, revenue alignment and long-term development.

The ARFC stage will determine whether concerns raised during the debate will translate into revisions before a formal Aave Improvement Proposal is submitted on-chain.

Aave founder Stani Kulechov said in a post on X that the Temp Check brings the protocol closer to a “fully token-centric model,” adding that structural improvements will be incorporated at the ARFC stage based on community feedback.

Critics previously questioned the size of the funding package and the inclusion of 75,000 AAVE tokens, which carry voting power.

Others called for clearer definitions and stronger disclosure standards around governance holdings.
