ChainCatcher reports that Aave DAO is currently voting on a major proposal that would allocate up to $42 million to Aave Labs, including $25 million for ongoing product development and $17.5 million in milestone bonuses. As of Friday evening, support votes are slightly ahead at 52%, with the voting ending on Saturday.
The controversy centers on Aave Labs’ original plan to limit the development of v3 and force users to migrate to the yet-to-be-launched v4. This move sparked strong backlash, with main contractor Bored Ghosts Developing announcing they would not renew their contract and criticizing the proposal as nearly absurd. This week, Aave Labs made a concession, promising not to enforce migration, and v3 will continue to operate.
Critic Marc Zeller argued that the requested funds are excessive, accounting for 31% of the DAO’s reserves, and called for splitting the proposal into multiple independent votes. However, Aave Labs insists on proceeding with the overall vote. Currently, Aave v3 has over $26.3 billion in deposits, accounting for more than 97% of the protocol’s total deposits.

Uniswap fee switch voting in progress! UNI price defies the trend and rises, with 8 chains potentially generating millions of dollars in monthly revenue
Uniswap token holders have initiated a new round of DAO voting, proposing to enable fee switching mechanisms on 8 blockchains, which is expected to generate significant protocol revenue. UNI has increased by approximately 9% over the past 7 days, while BTC and ETH have declined. If the proposal passes, liquidity fees will be directed into the "token treasury," allowing users to earn rewards by burning UNI, creating a deflationary outlook. The proposal has passed the first round of voting, with the final vote ending on March 4.
