BGD Labs Co-founders have released the "AAVE Token Alignment" proposal to empower AAVE token holders with control over Aave-branded assets

Ernesto Boado, core contributor to Aave and co-founder of BGD Labs, proposed the “AAVE Token Alignment” on December 17. The initiative aims to grant AAVE token holders control over Aave’s brand assets—including domain names, social media accounts, and naming rights. These assets will be managed by an entity controlled by a DAO (with the specific definition to be finalized later) and will feature robust anti-takeover safeguards. As a result, the proposal mandates that any party currently overseeing these assets—regardless of their identity—must uphold their responsibilities both in principle and in practice.
