Aave DAO Approves $25 Million Funding Grant for Aave Labs

AaveDAO said the $25 million funding approval for Aave Labs is the first step under the “Aave Will Win” strategy, while the update also notes contributor departures including BGD Labs and Chaos Labs.

AAVE

Fact Check
The core numerical elements of the statement are well supported by official Aave governance material. '[TEMP CHECK] Aave Will Win Framework' confirms this was a major proposal under Stani/Aave Labs' 'Aave Will Win' framework. '[TEMP CHECK] Aave Will Win Framework - #12 by MarcZeller' explicitly states the request included '$25M primary + $17.5M in milestone grants' and 75,000 AAVE, which matches the user's claim that the package provided $25 million in stablecoins and 75,000 AAVE to Aave Labs. The more specific assertion that the proposal 'passed with about 75% support' is only corroborated indirectly by the The Block search snippet for 'Aave DAO approves $25 million Aave Labs funding grant in binding Aave Will Win vote,' which reports approximately 75% support and vote totals. Because I could not successfully fetch the The Block page itself or a primary on-chain/governance results page for the final binding vote, that passage detail is not fully validated from a primary source in this run. Overall, the claim appears likely true, but confidence is limited by the missing direct validation of the final vote result.
