Aave Labs Accused of Hostile Takeover Amid Governance Dispute

[madmax]

The escalation of the Aave brand asset vote drew sharp criticism from prominent community figures:

Marc Zeller (Aave Chan Initiative) called the vote “unilaterally escalated,” limiting late-informed participants from redelegating or participating effectively.

The vote occurring during the holiday period raised concerns, as stakeholders have historically flagged this window as suboptimal for high-stakes governance decisions.

The controversy is being framed by some as a potential hostile takeover attempt by Aave Labs.

While Kulechov insists the discussion lasted five days and the vote meets governance requirements, community trust appears strained.
