Aave Labs plans to distribute non-protocol revenue to token holders and will submit governance proposals regarding IP and brand structure.

Aave Labs stated that, based on recent community discussions, the team plans to propose a specific mechanism in its upcoming governance proposal to share revenue generated outside the protocol with AAVE token holders. This aims to enhance long-term alignment between application-layer products, the protocol, and the token. Aave Labs pointed out that applications built on Aave and charging their own fees will not weaken the protocol's profitability; on the contrary, they will help expand protocol usage and overall revenue. The proposal will also cover brand and intellectual property (IP) usage structures and establish robust DAO governance safeguards to protect the interests of the Aave DAO and token holders. The team emphasized that its goal is to promote the mutual growth of the Aave protocol and the AAVE token, and the specific implementation plan for the governance proposal will be announced soon.
