Aave Community Debates Revenue Flow After CoW Swap Integration
A governance dispute has emerged over whether recent integrations are redirecting revenue from the DAO to Aave Labs.
The Aave community is navigating a governance dispute following concerns about how revenue from the new CoW Swap interface is being allocated. According to community discussions, some on-chain analysts argue that transaction fees generated through the integration are no longer reaching the Aave DAO treasury and may instead be routed to a separate address, estimated at roughly $200,000 per week.
Key contributors have described the issue as significant, raising questions about transparency and revenue-sharing practices across integrations such as Aave Vaults, Horizon, and the v4 liquidation engine. In response, Aave founder Stani Kulechov stated that Aave Labs is entitled to monetize front-end features it builds, especially when they extend beyond the core protocol.
For observers, this dispute highlights the ongoing challenge of balancing open governance with sustainable development models.
