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.

Aave Will Win voting results questioned, founder: Removing related votes will reverse the outcome
The "Aave Will Win" proposal in the Aave protocol was narrowly approved in the off-chain vote, but the results were questioned, with concerns that some votes are linked to Aave Labs. Observer Marc Zeller accused the voting involving approximately 233,000 tokens of having a conflict of interest. Aave Labs emphasized its technical contributions and directed 100% of its revenue into the DAO. This governance crisis highlights concerns about centralization of power, especially in the context of BGDLabs about to terminate its partnership, which could impact Aave's technological development.
