$AAVE token alignment. Phase 1 - Ownership
- Aave Governance request asking AAVE holders to mandate that all “Aave” brand assets be transferred from any third party currently controlling them (whether Aave Labs, BGD Labs, or anyone else) into a DAO-controlled legal vehicle/SPV with strong anti-capture protections
- “Implicit stewardship” is unhealthy as it causes a principal–agent problem + potential private monetization
- No private entity should unilaterally own/control Aave’s primary brand gateways
