Aave Grants DAO update 🏗

Aave Grants DAO Summit. Join an exploration of the Aave Grant DAO ecosystem as a part of ETH Global on September 30th. The summit features three sessions, including:

  • How to Successfully Receive a Grant from Aave with Shreyas Hariharan and Imran Khan

  • Aave Grant's Ecosystem of Builders with DeFi Alliance, Omni Analytics, Gelato, Tally, Llama, and Rabbithole

  • Introduction to DeFi Grants with Boris Stanic, Rebecca Rettig, Calvin Liu, and Robert Leshner

State of the protocol 📰

New guardians. The process to find and elect a new set of ten Guardians is underway. Aave Guardians were established with the launch of Aave V2 to provide extra protection against potential governance takeovers by centralized actors (good overview). The process to elect a new group is being sped up to get them in place ahead of the deployment on Avalanche.

Shoutout to all the community members who raised their hands to be Guardians. Vote now from the list of nominations and have your say on who should be an Aave Guardian.

Ecosystem 🧉

Jamming. This week, Stani hosted a 2 hour conversation on Twitter Spaces to encourage more builders to come to Web3, $TRIBE incentives were added to borrowed $FEI on Aave, and grantees continued to build.

  • As usual, Flipside has readers covered with new bounties if you want to dive into data and earn $AAVE.

  • Keep your eye on Sacred Finance, which will allow Aave users to earn yield and transact privately. They are launching their testnet on Ethereum the first week of October 👀 Share any technical feedback as part of their bug bounty program and if you have questions about the protocol join the Sacred Discord ❤️

  • AAVE Card 💳

  • Purple Sky

  • Social media protocol

What are you most excited for, anon?
