Aave’s governance underwent a transformation in December 2020 with the introduction of v2. Over 200 proposals have been submitted since its official debut.
Aave’s governance workings and the extent of influence held by whales are pivotal questions. Understanding the dynamics of governance and the impact of powerful entities is crucial.
Let’s explore further.
How Does Aave Governance Work?
Under the v2 governance, submitting a proposal involves users creating a Request for Comment (ARC), outlining the proposal and sharing it with the community. Following Snapshot polls, the ARC transforms into an Aave Improvement Proposal (AIP) for voting.
The Most influential Voters on Aave
The influence of these prominent voters is substantial. @Ndhung1104 notes that most proposals require between 300k-400k AAVE of voting power to pass an AIP without objection. With the combined voting power of the top five addresses mentioned earlier, a proposal would amass approximately 420k voting power, surpassing the threshold needed for successful passage.
