Odaily Planet Daily reports that Aave Labs has initiated a Temp Check proposal, requesting approximately $50 million in funds in exchange for allocating all revenue from Aave branded products to the Aave DAO treasury. The plan includes up to $42.5 million in stablecoins ($25 million basic grant and $17.5 million milestone rewards) and 75,000 AAVE tokens (approximately $8 million). In return, Aave Labs will allocate 100% of the revenue from all products, including aave.com, the planned Aave Card, and Aave Pro, to the DAO.
The proposal has sparked community concerns over voting power centralization. Marc Zeller, founder of the Aave Chan Initiative, pointed out that this fund package constitutes a significant portion of the DAO treasury and questioned whether the 75,000 AAVE token grant could lead to excessive voting power concentration. He called for splitting the proposal and requiring the recipient to disclose holding addresses. Aave founder Stani Kulechov stated that this move would shift the DAO toward a “token-centric” model, enhancing its ability to fund growth and execute buybacks. The proposal is currently in the feedback collection stage. (Cointelegraph)

Grayscale: Quantum computing or early breakthroughs are accelerating—preparing for post-quantum encryption is urgent.
Grayscale research director said that technical breakthroughs in quantum computing could introduce uncertainty, so public blockchains need to accelerate the deployment of post-quantum cryptography. A Google paper highlights the time sensitivity of quantum risk, specifically noting that if quantum computers reach a certain number of logical qubits, they will threaten existing encryption systems. Solana and the XRP Ledger have already begun experimental deployments of post-quantum cryptography technology. While Bitcoin has lower technical risk, challenges still exist at the governance level.

Chaos Labs exits Aave, saying there is a legal gap in DeFi risk management
Risk management firm Chaos Labs announced it is ending its three-year partnership with DeFi lending protocol Aave, citing a fundamental disagreement between the two parties on approaches to risk management. This exit has exposed the legal gray area in the DeFi ecosystem where regulatory safeguards are lacking—especially after a recent oracle incident that led to an erroneous liquidation of about $27 million. The separation between Chaos Labs and Aave leaves Aave facing a governance vacuum during a critical period for the V4 upgrade, further fueling concerns about accountability for decentralized risk systems.
