Aave DAO Proposes V4 Protocol Upgrade with Enhanced Revenue Capture

Aave Labs has introduced the **Aave Will Win Framework**, a governance proposal that would redirect all product revenue to the Aave DAO treasury under a token-centric model. **Key Revenue Sources:** - Aave.com platform - Aave mobile app - Aave Card - Aave Pro - Aave Kit - Aave Horizon The proposal also requests DAO funding for Aave Labs' development and growth initiatives, while establishing a foundation to govern and protect the Aave brand. According to the proposal, this framework would introduce several new revenue streams to the DAO and position Aave as core global financial infrastructure over the next decade.

Aave Protocol is deploying to Mantle Network, an Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution that uses ZK Validity Rollup technology. **Initial Asset List:** - WETH, WMNT, USD, USDC - USDe, sUSDe - FBTC, syrupUSDT - wrsETH, GHO This deployment follows Aave's recent expansion to MegaETH, continuing the protocol's multi-chain growth strategy. The proposal includes 10 assets spanning ETH-based, USD-based, and BTC-based tokens. Mantle Network offers EVM compatibility while providing enhanced scalability through zero-knowledge rollup technology, allowing users to access Aave's lending and borrowing features with lower transaction costs.
