Founder Stani Kulechov confirmed the Temp Check passed, moving the proposal to the ARFC stage.

The framework would route all Aave-branded product revenue to the DAO treasury under a token-centric model.

The proposal aligns with Aave V4 and follows earlier DAO debates over brand assets and governance control.
A major governance vote has moved forward at Aave after founder Stani Kulechov confirmed the “Aave Will Win” proposal passed its Temp Check. The announcement was shared publicly this week through Aave’s governance channels. The vote advances a plan that would direct 100% of Aave Labs’ product revenue to the AAVE token, reshaping how funds flow across the protocol.
Temp Check Approval Sets Governance Process in Motion
According to Kulechov, the Temp Check approval allows the proposal to move into its next phase of refinement. Notably, this stage focuses on structural adjustments shaped by community feedback. After revisions, the proposal will advance to the Aave Request for Comment, or ARFC, stage. This process keeps the proposal aligned with DAO governance rules.
The proposal centers on a fully token-centric model for Aave Labs. Under this framework, all revenue generated from Aave-branded products would flow directly to the DAO treasury. However, the Temp Check vote itself does not finalize the changes. Instead, it signals early community support before more detailed terms are introduced.
Revenue Flow Changes Linked to Aave V4 Strategy
The “Aave Will Win” proposal ties closely to the upcoming Aave V4 upgrade. According to earlier disclosures, V4 would serve as the base layer for future development. It would also allow Aave Labs-built products, including interfaces and institutional tools, to route revenue to the DAO.
Previously, Aave Labs proposed transferring all protocol revenue to the DAO in exchange for operating funds. This proposal builds on that idea by expanding revenue sources beyond lending activity. Notably, it includes income from additional products built around the protocol.
Community Context and Market Response
The proposal arrives after past community debate over control of Aave’s brand assets. Those discussions highlighted disagreements between the DAO and Aave Labs over governance responsibilities. The current framework also introduces plans for a foundation to hold trademarks, with details expected in later votes.
