Aave DAO’s Plan to Secure AAVE Token and Share Profits

Aave DAO’s Plan to Increase Profits and Protect Users Explained

Aave DAO, the decentralized autonomous organization behind the lending and borrowing platform, has unveiled an ambitious plan aimed at increasing the value of the AAVE token and rewarding its loyal users. The proposal, which was introduced on Tuesday, outlines several key changes designed to enhance the platform’s long-term stability and profitability.

The AAVE token has seen a significant 21% increase in the past 24 hours, outperforming the broader market’s 3.5% growth, as tracked by the CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index. The proposal’s passage could further enhance the appeal of holding AAVE tokens, as the updates are set to strengthen the token’s fundamentals.

The “Aavenomics update,” approved in August 2024, aims to solidify Aave’s position in the market. Since mid-2024, Aave’s cash reserves have grown by 115%, reaching $115 million. Additionally, the platform’s GHO stablecoin has amassed a $200 million supply and has reported strong revenues.

Aave aims to reward its users by increasing profit-sharing for those who stake their AAVE tokens to support the system. One of the novel features proposed is Anti-GHO, a non-tradable token that offers two benefits: burning it to eliminate GHO debt or converting it into staked GHO (StkGHO) for additional rewards. Anti-GHO will be funded by half of GHO’s annual revenue, which currently stands at $6 million based on GHO’s $12 million yearly earnings.

Buyback and Protection Programs

To maintain AAVE’s value, the DAO proposes a “buy and distribute” program that will allocate $1 million per week to purchase AAVE tokens from the open market. This initiative aims to support the token’s price and ensure long-term rewards for its users.

In addition, the DAO is introducing “Umbrella,” a protective mechanism to shield users from significant losses during market downturns. The proposal emphasizes that Aave will be the only protocol able to protect users from bad debt up to billions, making it particularly attractive to institutional investors concerned with on-chain risks.
