Odaily Planet Daily, reports: According to market sources, Chaos Labs, a major contributor to the Aave DAO, has stepped away from protocol-related work, becoming another significant departing service provider after BGD Labs and the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI). Previously, BGD Labs and ACI had both announced their exit in turn: ACI stated it would gradually end its work within the DAO, citing issues related to the allocation of governance power and transparency disputes; BGD Labs, meanwhile, chose to leave due to disagreements over the protocol’s development direction. A series of core team members stepping away is seen as reflecting an escalation of internal governance conflicts within the Aave DAO. The market generally worries about the stability of its decentralized governance structure and long-term development.
