Treasury Managemet - Acquire wstETH & rETH
01Summary
Convert 1,600 ETH from low-yield awETH (v2/v3) holdings into 800 ETH worth of wstETH and 800 ETH worth of rETH in the Collector Contract to increase staking yield from 1.69% to 3.8% and 3.13% respectively.
- Type
- treasury allocation
Key changes
- Withdraw 1,400 awETH from Aave V2 into ETH(medium)
- Withdraw ~96 aEthWETH from Aave V3 into ETH(low)
- Withdraw ~104 raw ETH from Collector Contract(low)
- Deposit 800 ETH into RocketPool to receive rETH(high)
- Deposit 800 ETH into Lido stETH and wrap into wstETH(high)
- Transfer resulting wstETH and rETH to Collector Contract(high)
Notable concerns
- Conversion from low-yield awETH (1.69%) to higher-yield liquid staking derivatives (wstETH 3.8%, rETH 3.13%) concentrates treasury in staking protocols
- Equal split between RocketPool and Lido introduces dependency on two staking protocols

02Description
Summary
This AIP will convert 1,600 ETH to equal amounts of wstETH and rETH to be held in the Ethereum Collector Contract.
Motivation
Aave DAO currently holds 1,786.51 awETH (v2) and 104.548 units of ETH in the Collector Contract. The awETH deposit yield in Aave v2 earns 1.69%, relative to 3.8% with wstETH and 3.13% with rETH.
This AIP converts all the unproductive ETH balance, along with aWETH (v2 and v3) into the same amounts of wstETH and rETH.
Specification
The following provides an overview for how the wstETH and rETH is acquired.
- Withdraw 1,400 units of awETH (Aave V2 wETH) into ETH.
- Withdraw all the raw ETH (~104 units) from the collector.
- Withdraw the margin (~96 units) of aEthWETH (Aave V3 wETH) into ETH.
- Deposit into RocketPool 800 ETH.
- Deposit into Lido's stETH 800 ETH.
- Wrap the received stETH into wstETH.
- Transfer wstETH and rETH into collector.

03Mismatch analysis
The decoded calldata consists of a single top-level action: a call to execute() on an external payload contract, which is the standard pattern used by Aave governance proposals (BGD Labs 'AIP' payloads). The actual multi-step logic described in the Specification section (withdrawing awETH/ETH, depositing into RocketPool and Lido, wrapping stETH, transferring wstETH/rETH to the collector) is expected to be implemented inside that payload contract's bytecode, which is not visible in the decoded action list provided. Because no arguments or sub-calls are decoded, there is no calldata-level detail to compare against the specific dollar/ETH amounts, target protocols, or recipient addresses claimed in the description. Nothing in the available decoded data contradicts the description, but the lack of granularity means the specific claims (1,400 awETH, ~104 ETH, ~96 aEthWETH, 800/800 ETH splits, wstETH/rETH transfer to collector) cannot be independently verified from calldata alone. Given this, I found no evidence of a mismatch, but confidence is low because the comparison is fundamentally limited by the single opaque execute() call typical of Aave's payload-based governance execution model.
