Internal process disagreements within the Aave DAO are making the deployment of MegaETH a "victim of governance friction."

DeFi researcher Ignas stated that internal procedural disagreements within the Aave DAO are making MegaETH's deployment a "victim of governance friction." He disclosed that the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) has been working with MegaETH on business development (BD) since March 2025, but Aave Labs bypassed ACI's Skywards process and directly submitted a deployment proposal, leading ACI to decide to no longer allocate BD resources to MegaETH. Currently, approximately 30% of the votes in the relevant snapshot are abstaining. Ignas pointed out that despite the procedural controversy, the protocol's economic terms are quite favorable, including a 5-year annual revenue guarantee of $2 million, 30 million tokens, and 6% of the total MEGA supply, making it one of the better chain deployment conditions Aave has obtained.
