Aave Labs v DAO: Who controls the money — and the brand?

The Aave DAO seeks to take control of “brand assets” from Aave Labs, and the result will have a “long-lasting impact on DAOs in general.”

Aave hits breaking point as DAO and Labs clash over control

A debate over in-platform swaps has expanded into questions over who “owns” Aave, DeFi’s biggest app: Aave Labs or a DAO of tokenholders?

An Aave Labs integration of CoW Swap promising better prices and MEV protection has sparked a debate over whether fees belong to the DAO.

Proposal GIP-143 cites extensive community discussions about KPK’s performance, cost, risk exposure, and alignment with DAO objectives.

The latest iteration of Uniswap’s long awaited fee-switch proposal looks set to pass. But the milestone is seen by some as a DAO failure.
