Wintermute founder Evgeny Gaevoy said Wintermute has invested in AAVE since 2022, participates in its governance, and that he personally holds AAVE, while having no equity exposure to Aave Labs. He said the AAVE governance dispute centers on token value accrual and mismatched expectations, adding that it remains unclear whether the front-end and brand governance structure would ensure value accrual to token holders, and that the proposal lacks sufficient detail and Wintermute will vote against it.

The proposal was rejected.
