Aave DAO Temp Check Backs "Aave Will Win" Plan as $25M Budget Request Sparks Debate
On 2 March 2026, Aave governance advanced the "Aave Will Win" framework after an off-chain Temp Check that ended on 1 March 2026 with 52.58% support, 42% opposition, and 5.42% abstentions. The plan would redirect 100% of gross revenue from Aave-branded products to the DAO treasury, while Aave Labs seeks an annual $25 million stablecoin budget plus 75,000 AAVE, and the proposal now heads to the ARFC phase before an on-chain vote. AAVE is trading near $114.8 in a $110–$120 range, with neutral technical indicators as the market awaits the final governance decision.
