Aave DAO approves $25M funding grant, token allocation for Aave Labs
The vote passed with nearly 75% in favor. Other elements of the framework, including the growth and development grants, will have separate governance proposals.
Aave Labs, the core development team behind Aave, has been granted $25 million in stablecoins and 75,000 AAVE tokens by the protocol’s DAO under the “Aave Will Win” framework.
