Another stakeholder, though, is sort of the de facto leader of the Aave DAO, which is Mark Zeller.

And he has some criticism about this.

I think that, you know, he said the stablecoin ask alone, that's 42% of the DAO's existing treasury.

So it's a steep ask.

And it's like giving a lot of power to one specific group.

It's putting all the eggs in the Aave Labs basket.

Maybe maybe, you know, the Dow would want this more distributed.

So he thinks it's bad to lump together the votes for the revenue before in the foundation, the 50 million in funding.

I don't know.

He's probably, I think I'm sympathetic to that argument as well.

But this is a step forward.

Maybe they negotiate, maybe they hash it out.

One question I have, though, in general is like, does this solve it permanently?

Or the next time Aave Labs spins up some sort of revenue stream or product for Aave Labs,

does you have to have this negotiation all over again?

Exactly, I would still far rather collapse the, I guess, ledger of equity and upside into one entity and have that entity be sort of the token, if that makes sense.

So this is a good step forward, definitely much more alignment, but I don't know if it's permanent alignment.

Anyway, Aave Price seemed to like it.

I think.

Yeah, I wonder why Institution is going to go snap up Aave tokens, right?
