Aave proposal would put protocol IP under DAO control
Image: CoinGapeAAVE climbed 8% on Friday after Aave Labs released a governance proposal. The proposal would create a memberless Cayman Islands foundation to hold the Aave trademark, related trademarks and protocol intellectual property. Aave founder Stani Kulechov said the goal is to hand Aave IP to the DAO and unify assets under one token, AAVE, as part of the Aave Will Win framework. AAVE reached an intraday high of $187.50. A permanent token burn is under discussion. The proposal still needs to go through Aave governance.
