A dispute over revenue sharing has erupted between the community governing DeFi lender Aave and its primary development firm, Aave Labs. The conflict centers on Aave Labs’ recent decision to integrate CoW Swap as the underlying infrastructure for trading on the protocol’s primary website. The switch replaced ParaSwap, a previous integration that generated referral fees for the Aave DAO treasury.
