Aave, led by founder Marc Zeller, contemplates enabling a fee switch to distribute transaction fees. Zeller discussed the prospective earnings via social media. The platform, governed by AaveDAO, facilitates borrowers in obtaining loans using cryptocurrency.
A proposal is underway on Aave, a decentralized lending platform, to activate a fee switch for distributing transaction fees to owners. Marc Zeller, founder of the Aave Chan Initiative, shared this update on the X social platform. Zeller highlighted that the Aave DAO community’s current annual net profit is approximately $60 million, covering five years of operational costs.
Aave Considers Fee Distribution System for Token Holders
Aave, a prominent crypto lending platform operating across various blockchain networks, offers borrowers the ability to take loans using one cryptocurrency while using another as collateral. Governance of the platform lies with Aave token holders, collectively forming AaveDAO.
Founder Marc Zeller had hinted at the potential implementation of a fee system for Aave stakers in a previous post on X social platform. On March 16, he further stated, “A new update to the security module will propose distributing fees to stakers.”
The fee switch mechanism, integral to platforms like Aave in decentralized finance (DeFi), could enable the distribution of fees accrued from transactions or other activities to token holders or protocol participants.
Aave’s Fee Switch and Governance Dynamics
The fee switch mechanism within Aave provides governance with the flexibility to regulate and modify fee-related policies based on the platform’s objectives and requirements. Recently, Aave DAO approved changes to staking fees for GHO. Should Aave DAO proceed with fee activation, it would emulate Frax Finance, which recently reinstated its fee switch.
In another development, on April 5th, AaveDAO deliberated on Dai (DAI) collateral restrictions. Chaos Labs, serving as risk management advisors, presented a proposal countering Marc Zeller’s 75% discount suggestion, advocating for a 12% reduction in Dai loan-to-value (LTV) ratios.
Earlier, Aave proposed setting the LTV ratio for DAI at 0% across all Aave deployments and removing sDAI incentives from the Merit program, starting with Merit Round 2. This action was prompted by MakerDAO’s swift implementation of the D3M plan, which saw the DAI credit limit surge to approximately 600 million DAI within a month.
Meanwhile, the decentralized exchange Uniswap is in the final stages of preparing its fee change proposal, anticipated to be introduced in mid-April following a successful testing phase.
