Winding Down the LEND Migration Contract
01Summary
Terminate the LEND → AAVE Migration Contract and reallocate approximately 302,000 AAVE tokens (worth ~$100 million) from the migration contract back to the Aave DAO Ecosystem Reserve for future governance-directed use.
- Type
- protocol deprecation
- Funding
- $~$100,000,000
Key changes
- Close the LEND → AAVE Migration Contract permanently and set migration window expiration(high)
- Redirect approximately 302,000 AAVE tokens from migration contract to Aave DAO Ecosystem Reserve(high)
- Make recovered AAVE available for future governance-directed ecosystem growth and incentives(high)
Notable concerns
- Migration window will close immediately upon execution, affecting any remaining LEND token holders who have not migrated
- Service providers must conduct final communication campaign to notify users of the closure deadline

02Description
Simple Summary
Terminate operations of the LEND → AAVE Migration Contract, reallocating all unspent budgets, assets, and remaining tokens or emissions into the Ecosystem Reserve, while minimizing disruption to users and integrations.
Motivation
This proposal follows up on Aavenomics Part 1 by freeing approximately $100 million worth of AAVE for ecosystem growth and partnerships.
The LEND → AAVE Migration Contract has remained open for more than half a decade. This proposal closes the LEND chapter and redirects the approximately 302,000 AAVE remaining in the migration contract to the Ecosystem Reserve.
Moving these tokens back to the DAO treasury makes them available for future governance-directed use. A subsequent ARFC will propose distribution of the recovered AAVE for growth and ecosystem incentives.
Specification
The execution of this proposal marks the deadline for LEND->AAVE migrations and redirects the remaining AAVE to the Aave DAO Ecosystem Reserve.
| Item | Action |
|---|---|
| Migration window expiration | Once this Proposal is executed |
| Contract shutdown | Once this Proposal is executed |
| Asset redirection | All remaining AAVE inside the migration contract redistributed back to the Aave DAO treasury, through the Ecosystem Reserve |
| Communication | Service providers run a final communication campaign with the closing date |

03Mismatch analysis
The proposal contains a single top-level on-chain action: a call to execute() on a payload contract address, decoded generically as a fallback() call with no arguments. This is the typical Aave governance execution pattern, where the actual sub-actions (updating the LendToAaveMigrator implementation, sweeping remaining AAVE to the Ecosystem Reserve, etc.) are encoded inside the payload contract's own logic rather than being visible as separate decoded calldata entries here. Because the decoded action set does not expose the internal calls, amounts, or destination addresses, I cannot independently verify the specific claims in the description (e.g., the exact ~302,000 AAVE figure, or that the Ecosystem Reserve is the precise recipient) against the calldata. However, nothing in the single decoded action contradicts the description, and the pattern (one execute() call to a purpose-built payload contract referenced in the proposal's own links to the implementation source) is consistent with how such shutdown/sweep proposals are normally structured. Given the lack of granularity in the decoded calldata, I mark confidence as low rather than asserting any discrepancy — there is no evidence of a mismatch, but also no way to fully confirm the details match. No value, target, or omission discrepancies are flagged since none can be substantiated from the available decoded data.
