ChainThink News, April 13: According to an official announcement from Aave DAO, the DAO has passed, with approximately 75% support, the first substantive funding request under the "Aave Will Win" framework proposed by founder Stani. This includes a $25 million allocation of stablecoins to Aave Labs, along with the distribution of 75,000 AAVE tokens (approximately $6.8 million) from the ecosystem reserve, which will be linearly vested over 48 months.

This proposal marks the formal financial endorsement of Aave Labs' product development by the DAO; however, future funding for specific products will still require individual proposals for review. The "Aave Will Win" framework aims to resolve long-standing disputes between Aave Labs and the DAO. Its core principle is that all revenue generated from brand products developed by Aave Labs—including Aave App, Aave Pro, Horizon RWA, and Aave Kit—will be routed directly into the DAO treasury, in exchange for the DAO providing ongoing financial support for Aave Labs’ product development.

Founder Stani described this proposal as the most significant in Aave’s history, while emphasizing that the DAO will oppose any supplier lock-in mechanisms that compromise token holder interests.
