Aave Labs Proposes Foundation to Bring Brand and IP Under DAO Oversight

The proposal's substance is procedural: a legal wrapper and independent officers come first, while the assets that actually matter — trademark, domains, codebase — are deferred to separate votes. That sequencing means the DAO gains a negotiating counterparty rather than immediate control, leaving the harder question of valuation and transfer terms unresolved. For Aave holders, the open question is whether the later votes become routine ratification or a genuine test of DAO authority over the brand.
