"Annual Revenue Loss of Tens of Millions Sparks Governance Dispute, Aave Labs Accused of 'Backstabbing' DAO" (Author Ignas; Translated by PANews) This article focuses on the controversy over fee attribution caused by Aave Labs switching the default front-end exchange from ParaSwap to CoWSwap, analyzing the disagreements between Aave Labs and Aave DAO regarding protocol governance and value distribution.
