The Aave Chan Initiative (ACI), a significant service provider for the Aave DAO, announced its exit from the DAO by July due to mounting governance tensions, marking its departure after BGD Labs also declared it would stop contributing in April over similar disputes. ACI founder Marc Zeller cited the recent departure of BGD Labs, which was rooted in disagreements over direction and governance dynamics, as a catalyst for ACI’s decision. This turmoil stems from controversies regarding the routing of fees from new integrations to Aave Labs rather than the DAO treasury, which had sparked significant community unrest and discussions about accountability and control within the governance structure.
