- Type
- governance change
Key changes
- Set ACI multisig address (0xac140648435d03f784879cd789130F22Ef588Fcd) as emissions manager for PYUSD token via setEmissionAdmin() method call(high)
- ACI will manage incentive programs and distribute emission rewards to attract users and stimulate activity in PYUSD markets(high)
Notable concerns
- Centralization of emissions management authority to ACI multisig
- Dependency on ACI's governance and distribution decisions for incentive programs

02Description
Simple Summary
This AIP proposes to set the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) wallet as the emission manager for the PYUSD token on Aave V3 Ethereum Market. This will enable the ACI to enact incentive programs funded by ecosystem partners for all PYUSD markets, promoting growth and expanding the user base of Aave.
Motivation
The Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) has been in discussion with various parties that have a desire to actively contribute to the growth and development of the Aave V3 on the Ethereum Network.
Recently, governance approved the addition of PYUSD to Aave V3 Ethereum Market. As a result, onboarding PYUSD into Aave has:
- Built synergies between Aave and PYUSD.
- Offered Aave users an additional stablecoin option.
- Strengthened the relationship between the PYUSD & the GHO stablecoin.
In order to facilitate emissions by various stakeholders, ACI proposes becoming the emissions manager for PYUSD on Aave V3 Ethereum Market. Emission incentives will be sent to ACI multisig and distributed as agreed on with partners. By setting the multisig as the emission manager for the PYUSD token, the ACI will be able to directly manage incentive programs that can attract more users to the pool and stimulate activity. This aligns with the broader goals of the Aave community to foster active and engaged markets on the Ethereum Chain.
Specification
The Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) multisig address 0xac140648435d03f784879cd789130F22Ef588Fcd will be set as Emissions manager.
The call to the setEmissionAdmin() method in the emission_manager contract will be as follows:
EMISSION_MANAGER.setEmissionAdmin(pyUSD,0xac140648435d03f784879cd789130F22Ef588Fcd);
This method will set the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) wallet as the emission admin for the PYUSD token on Aave V3 Ethereum Market.

03Mismatch analysis
The proposal describes a single, specific action: calling setEmissionAdmin(pyUSD, ACI_multisig_address) on the Aave V3 Ethereum EMISSION_MANAGER contract to designate the ACI multisig as emissions admin for PYUSD. The decoded on-chain action shows only a generic execute() call (fallback function) with no decoded arguments, which is the typical pattern for Aave governance payloads — the proposal's payload contract encapsulates the actual setEmissionAdmin logic internally, and this is not visible in the flattened calldata decode. Because the decoded action provides no argument-level detail (no token address, no admin address), I cannot directly verify that the calldata matches the specific parameters claimed in the description. However, this pattern (execute() with internal logic) is standard operating procedure for Aave governance proposals of this type, and the description links to the actual Solidity implementation and test files that presumably contain the exact call. Given the lack of decoded arguments to cross-check against the prose's specific claims (token address, recipient address), confidence in this comparison is low, and no discrepancy can be affirmatively identified or ruled out. I am not flagging any discrepancy since there is no evidence the calldata does anything other than what's described; the mismatch is only in resolution/visibility of the decoded data, not an identified inconsistency.
