The initiative aims to allocate 20% of generated fees and 7% of its WLFI governance token to AaveDAO, enhancing liquidity for assets like Ether and stablecoins.
The proposal includes using Aave’s reserve factor system and establishing a smart contract for revenue sharing, with AaveDAO members now reviewing it.
