DefiLiban has published its DeFi Asia Session roundup for November 13, 2026, a periodic review of decentralized finance activity covering the window from 00:00 UTC to 11:59 UTC, a stretch that broadly corresponds to Asian trading hours. A revenue proposal concerning the Aave protocol is the headline item of this session's roundup. The article is available on DefiLiban, and the outlet's X (Twitter) profile can be found at X.

Background: Aave and Revenue Governance

Aave is one of the largest decentralized lending protocols in the DeFi sector. It operates liquidity pools in which users can supply assets to earn interest and borrow against over-collateralized positions. The protocol originated from ETHLend, a peer-to-peer lending project founded in 2017 by Stani Kulechov, and rebranded as Aave — Finnish for 'ghost' — in 2020. Aave has since expanded across multiple networks, including Ethereum, Avalanche, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base.

The protocol is governed by holders of its AAVE token, who vote on-chain on Aave Improvement Proposals (AIPs). Protocol revenue generally accrues from interest spreads and reserve factors collected into the DAO treasury. Governance proposals dealing with revenue, commonly referred to in the community as 'fee switch' discussions, address how these funds should be used or distributed, including potential allocations to AAVE stakers through the Safety Module, which backstops the protocol in the event of shortfalls. Because AIP voting occurs on-chain, token-holder votes on proposals of this kind become part of Aave's public governance record, making that on-chain record the reference point for readers tracking the revenue proposal headlined in this roundup.
