02Description
Simple Summary
This AIP proposal presents Aave with the opportunity to onboard Aave-Chan Initiative (ACI) as a service provider for the Aave protocol.
Motivation
The Aave Chan Initiative has been a dedicated contributor to the Aave ecosystem. The 6-Month Budget Proposal aims to secure the necessary resources to continue the ACI's work, ensuring that we can maintain our level of commitment and contribution to the Aave ecosystem. For more details about the ACI proposal, please refer to the TEMP CHECK version of the current proposal.
Specification
If this proposal is approved, a stream of the allocated budget will be activated, with treasury.aavechan.eth as the recipient.
This will allow the ACI to periodically claim a fraction of the budget for the duration of the stream.
The proposed budget is 250k aUSDT for a period of 6 months.
The proposal payload uses the delegatecall pattern with a pre-deployed payload. The payload creates a 180 days stream with the following parameters:
contract ProposalPayload is IProposalGenericExecutor {
address public constant ACI_TREASURY = 0x57ab7ee15cE5ECacB1aB84EE42D5A9d0d8112922;
address public constant AUSDT = AaveV2EthereumAssets.USDT_A_TOKEN;
address public constant COLLECTOR = AaveV2Ethereum.COLLECTOR;
address public constant RESERVE_CONTROLLER = AaveV2Ethereum.COLLECTOR_CONTROLLER;
uint256 public constant STREAM_AMOUNT = 250000e6;
uint256 public constant STREAM_DURATION = 180 days;
function execute() external {
uint256 ACTUAL_STREAM_AMOUNT_AUSDT = (STREAM_AMOUNT / STREAM_DURATION) * STREAM_DURATION;
IAaveEcosystemReserveController(RESERVE_CONTROLLER).createStream(
COLLECTOR,
ACI_TREASURY,
ACTUAL_STREAM_AMOUNT_AUSDT,
AUSDT,
block.timestamp,
block.timestamp + STREAM_DURATION
);
}
}

- [TEMP CHECK] Aave Chan Initiative 6-Month Budget Proposal ↗discourse · high confidence
- [ARFC] - ACI Service Provider 6 month Proposal ↗discourse · high confidence
Arguments for
- ACI has demonstrated exceptional track record in governance coordination, proposal development, and protocol improvement, with zero AIPs failing to meet participation thresholds since its launch.— raho, OriN, dtalwar, WintermuteGovernance, JohannEid
- The $250k budget for 6 months is cost-efficient compared to other DAO service providers and supports team expansion to scale ACI's contributions beyond a single-person operation.— MarcZeller, OriN, ElisaFly
- ACI's meta-governance focus representing Aave interests in other DeFi DAOs creates strategic value through ecosystem collaborations and synergies.— raho, WintermuteGovernance
- Compensating ACI as a service provider (distinct from delegate compensation) is justified given Marc's extensive volunteer work in proposal drafting, research, and protocol development.— fig, MatthewGraham, JohannEid, ElisaFly
- Marc brings deep expertise, dedication, and a strong track record of holding service providers accountable and promoting cost-conscious governance.— ElisaFly, Alex_BertoG, JohannEid
Arguments against
- The proposal risks establishing a precedent that encourages other large delegates to seek individual compensation, potentially inflating DAO service provider costs unsustainably.— thewatcher, fig, PennBlockchain
- At $500k annualized, the compensation is approximately 2.5x higher than top MakerDAO delegate compensation levels, lacking alignment with industry benchmarks.— fig
Unresolved concerns
- Whether ACI's compensation should be structured as part of a broader, equitable delegate compensation framework applicable to all active delegates rather than in isolation.— thewatcher, fig, PennBlockchain
- Lack of specific, measurable OKRs or success metrics against which the community can evaluate ACI's performance and justify the six-month budget allocation.— ElisaFly
- Ambiguity around whether ACI's team expansion budget includes personal compensation to Marc beyond operational expenses, and how 'we' translates into concrete team members.— thewatcher, PennBlockchain
- Whether ACI should formally commit to researching and flagging conflicts of interest among other service providers as part of its governance oversight role.— ElisaFly
