Aave Labs proposes establishing an Aave Foundation to hold and protect protocol intellectual property rights.
The decentralized lending protocol Aave community has released an ARFC proposal, proposing the establishment of a "memberless" foundation entity, Aave Foundation, in the Cayman Islands to hold the Aave trademarks, core domain names, and intellectual property rights of the codebase. According to the proposal's plan, the structure will be implemented in phases. Phase I involves solely the establishment of the entity and the appointment of independent directors and supervisors, with all associated costs borne by the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) and no regular budget established.
