Aave News #102

👻 June Grantees | 📣 Request for Grants | 🏗 AMA with Xenophon Labs & More Grantee Updates

👻 June Grantees

Congratulations to the three grantees from June! Check out how each team is contributing to the Aave ecosystem.

1️⃣ Boardroom has contributed a weekly Governance Recap to the Aave DAO since last September. This new grant will see the recaps continue for another 6 months.

2️⃣ Libreexyz has created a Credit Delegation plugin that any existing and new Aragon DAO can use. This plugin allows DAOs to deposit their treasury in AAVE and grant a credit delegation to other DAOs, projects, or users. Libree's new plugin will enable DAOs to make their treasury more capital efficient and to execute automatically approved credit delegation proposals.

3️⃣ Dapplooker will create comprehensive and customizable dashboards with deep analytics & multiple parameters for GHO. A portion of funds will be used to engage the community on MetricsDAO to create new analytics.

📣 Request for Grants

Aave Grants DAO announced ‘Request for Grants’ (RFGs) - an experiment to better direct builders to apply for grants in high impact areas. There are three initial areas to start:

• GHO Demand and Utility

• Enhancing Governance Participation

• Increasing Activity on OP Aave V3 Pool

Please share any feedback on RFGs, apply for a grant or suggest an idea for new RFGs that could be offered.

🏗 Grantee Updates

• Xenophon Labs published their analysis on the Safety Module including a proposal to raise the slashing percentage that could save the DAO ~$2M.

  Join them this Thursday, August 3rd for an AMA with the Xenophon Labs team and other members of the community to discuss their proposal.

• DeFi Simulator continued to share their development updates with the community - users can now visualize key stats on Aave positions in 62 languages and 135 currencies. Give it a try and share any feature requests in their Discord.

• Paladin posted a teaser announcement for Dullahan which will give passive income opportunities for stkAAVE and reduced interest for GHO borrowers. Look out for the release coming SOON.

• Butter’s 3-month incentivized delegate campaign concluded in July - thanks to everyone for participating, Butter for running a buttery smooth campaign and Token Logic for contributing as the winning delegate. Check out the GHO Analytics Dashboard they released as part of their delegate work!
