Quote from the Proposal

After half a decade of hard work, with the ACI, we’re proud to present the updated Aavenomics proposal to the Aave DAO.
We consider it the most important proposal in our history, feel free to have a read and provide feedback. Just Use Aave. source

The so-called ‘Aavenomics update’ was tentatively approved in August 2024, and Aave is eager to distribute some of its increased wealth back to users. One critical aspect of the proposal is to enhance profit distribution for AAVE token stakers.

The proposal includes the introduction of Anti-GHO tokens, which cannot be traded but offer utility such as debt repayment and extra rewards through staked tokens.

Additionally, a “buy and distribute” initiative aims to allocate $1 million weekly to acquire AAVE tokens from the market, striving to maintain its value and provide long-term rewards. The program could commence immediately and scale up within six months.

On the technical front, Aave is introducing ‘Umbrella,’ a system designed to protect users from potential market losses. The initiative asserts that Aave will be the only protocol capable of safeguarding users from substantial debt, attracting institutional interest characterized by concerns over on-chain risks.

Community engagement around this proposal has started, with an official on-chain proposal expected in the coming weeks.
