ChainCatcher news, the official governance forum shows that the ZKsync community has initiated a TPP draft regarding the "AAVE DAO Airdrop Claim Extension Request." This proposal suggests accessing the unclaimed ZK airdrop allocated to AAVE DAO through a new Capped Minter, distributing it to AAVE users and partner protocols on ZKsync.Representatives of AAVE DAO have already deployed the new ZK Capped Minter V2. Once this proposal is approved, the MINTER role will be assigned to the Capped Minter. This will enable AAVE to mint ZK and distribute it to AAVE users on ZKsync.

Trident Digital CEO Anthony DeMartino stated that this new fixed income loan model offers certainty to market participants through fixed rates and terms, helping to reduce market uncertainty and volatility.

ChainCatcher news, according to DL News, MakerDAO's lending protocol Spark (a fork of Aave v3) is accused of violating its agreement with Aave DAO. According to representative Marc Zeller, in February 2023, the company behind Spark, Phoenix Labs, proposed to share 10% of the protocol's profits over two years as a thank you for using Aave's code, estimating that Spark would pay Aave a total of $2 million. However, Zeller stated that Spark has not fulfilled its contractual obligations, saying, "Due to some creative accounting by MakerDAO, the actual revenue sharing is closer to 1%."Zeller called for both DAOs to take a more collaborative approach and urged other members of Aave DAO to weigh in on the issue, suggesting that comments provide the DAO with options, such as declaring MakerDAO in violation of the agreement and viewing Spark as an "unauthorized fork of the Aave codebase." This incident occurs against the backdrop of intensifying competition between the two giants in decentralized finance (DeFi), with Aave surpassing MakerDAO this year to become the third most valuable DeFi project.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, Aave DAO recently voted unanimously to support the deployment of the Aave protocol on ZKsync, marking the upcoming formal voting phase for its deployment on the Ethereum Layer 2 network. The AFRC proposal (i.e., Aave's official request for comments) was drafted by the Aave Chan Initiative and passed with 662,000 votes in favor, and will proceed to on-chain voting for final approval.Aave previously received an airdrop of 8.3 million ZK tokens from ZKsync, the highest among all "native projects."

ChainCatcher message, Aave Chan Initiative founder Marc Zeller has initiated a community governance proposal to suggest deploying Aave V3 on ZKSync to leverage the scalability and cost-effectiveness of zk-Rollups. By integrating with ZKSync, Aave can offer users faster and cheaper transactions while maintaining the security and decentralization of the Ethereum mainnet.Aave DAO commits to redistributing any airdrops provided by the ZKSync ecosystem to Aave users through liquidity mining, GHO secondary liquidity incentives, security module deployment, or performance programs.ACI will coordinate any liquidity mining activities on the ZKSync Aave V3 deployment on behalf of the Aave DAO.

The proposal aims to support the short-term funding needs of the Aave DAO. Part of the Aave DAO's expenditures will be paid in the form of GHO, with some use cases including: 328,000 GHO for the Aave grant extension proposal (6 months); 550,000 GHO for Aave events and sponsorships (3 months).Based on the current Ethereum treasury holdings, this proposal is expected to acquire approximately $1.6 million from the secondary market.

ChainCatcher news, Aave community member MarcZeller stated on social media that Aave DAO purchased approximately 390,000 GHO a few hours ago, and mentioned that "the first small proposal is the beginning of a larger GHO pegging plan, including revising interest rates, buybacks, and creating a GHO liquidity committee."
