Svmuu News: Tensions within the Aave community governance have escalated again. The Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) and its founder, Marc Zeller, published an "audit" report targeting Aave Labs ahead of a vote on a $51 million proposal, dubbed "the largest funding request in Aave's history," sparking widespread discussion. ACI stated on social media that before the "$51M Aave Will Win" proposal proceeds to a Snapshot vote, the community should review Aave Labs' past performance and its use of approximately $86 million in accumulated funds. Zeller claimed that ACI had already released its own transparency report and used a "what was delivered, at what cost, and what was the return" framework to conduct a similar assessment of Aave Labs. The report indicates that Aave Labs' cumulative "total capitalization" is approximately $86 million, including: $16.2 million raised from an ICO in 2017, $32.5 million from VC rounds, $31.93 million in direct DAO grants, and approximately $5.5 million in "unapproved" swap fees. Zeller also mentioned that the founding team once held 23% of the initial LEND supply (later migrated to AAVE), but the current AAVE holdings have not been publicly disclosed. The report questions why Aave Labs has not yet released an "accountability report" that includes cost-output ratios, financial disclosures, and wallet transparency, arguing that despite receiving large grants over a long period, information disclosure remains insufficient.
