Aave Founder Considers Fee Structure Overhaul to Boost Ecosystem Growth

• The Aave DAO has voted to implement changes to the staking fee structure.
• This proposal is in line with the protocol’s goal of making staking more lucrative.

There has been talk of a potential vote by Aave Chan Initiative founder Marc Zeller to activate a “fee switch” on the Aave DeFi (Decentralized Finance) platform. The Aave DAO’s yearly net gains are about $60 million, and Zeller’s article on X hinted at some thoughts that it may influence how the owners spend these funds. An ongoing discussion about how to encourage investment and engagement in the Aave ecosystem is the impetus for this change.

The Aave DAO has voted to implement changes to the staking fee structure of the Aave stablecoin, GHO. Among the objectives is the preservation of the stablecoin’s peg. 

Competing with Other Protocols

In its release, Zeller lays out the protocol’s plans to compete with protocols like Uniswap DeFi and Frax Finance by using the fee distribution architecture in an innovative way to boost staker incentives.

Zeller had already hinted at this in a March tweet when he proposed a safety fund from which the stakers would get revenue. This proposal is in line with the protocol’s goal of making staking more attractive and lucrative for the stakers. This change, according to Zeller, is an effort to strengthen the network’s staker community and thus make the network more safe and stable.

Frax Finance and Uniswap are now executing their fee switches, which is a difficult reality to accept. It is clear that there has been a change towards adequately compensating consumers and improving platform security since the majority of DeFi protocols also consider user demands. Following the lead of protocols that already employ this paradigm, the platform may decide to allocate fees to users in the near future.
