The Aave ecosystem recently experienced a turning point in its governance turmoil. Project founder Stani recently published an article titled "How Aave Will Win" on the Aave governance forum, partially addressing the controversy that previously sparked heated community discussions.

The core issue of this turmoil points to a well-known topic: alignment of interests. In Stani's view, there is a structural bias between protocol development and the return expectations of token holders. Notably, he explicitly stated in the article his willingness to share off-protocol income with AAVE holders and plans to submit an official governance proposal to advance this commitment.

This change in attitude has been seen by many community members as a positive outcome—at least providing a basis for dialogue regarding the interests of both parties. Of course, this governance drama is far from over; the specific content of subsequent proposals and the voting results are the real highlights. As a leading DeFi lending protocol, every step in Aave's governance direction is closely watched by the industry.
