PANews reports on March 3 that the temporary vote on the “Aave Will Win” funding proposal by the Aave community passed narrowly with 52.58% support. However, ACI founder Marc Zeller immediately questioned the voting results, claiming that addresses associated with Aave Labs determined the outcome. Zeller pointed out that three clusters related to Aave Labs contributed approximately 233,000 votes in favor, including 111,000 votes delegated by co-founder Stani Kulechov. According to Zeller’s calculations, removing these votes would result in 387,000 votes in favor versus 497,000 against.
The proposal requests the DAO to approve funding of up to $42.5 million in stablecoins and 75,000 AAVE tokens in exchange for Aave Labs transferring all product revenues to the DAO treasury. This vote comes amid escalating tensions within the community. Zeller previously released an audit report questioning the return on investment of approximately $86 million previously received by Aave Labs.
