Aave Founder Faces Governance Scrutiny
-

Aave founder Stani Kulechov is under the spotlight after purchasing $10 million in AAVE tokens, sparking concerns in the DeFi community that he may have boosted his voting power for a controversial governance proposal. Critics, including DeFi strategist Robert Mullins, argue the move could allow Kulechov to push proposals against token holders’ best interests. The debate raises broader questions about token-based governance, particularly when founders or large holders wield significant influence over high-stakes votes. With minority holders potentially sidelined, the controversy highlights ongoing concerns about fairness in DAO decision-making. -
