Aave's internal governance has caused a stir. The project's former CTO and current founder of BGD Labs revealed that a proposal was rushed to a vote without prior communication, and his name was attached to the proposal documents. This industry insider candidly stated that such a hasty push for voting is indeed inappropriate and questioned whether this process aligns with the original intention of decentralization governance. The incident has drawn community attention and once again exposed the shortcomings of certain DeFi projects in terms of proposal process transparency and community consultation. For leading protocols like Aave, standardizing governance processes and ensuring sufficient communication may need to be prioritized.

No one has even asked this guy about his name being listed on the proposal, hilarious. Is this the decentralized governance you guys brag about?

What's the point of calling this decentralization when all the names are being attached? It's laughable.

My goodness, the name was fine and it got put up for a vote? This is really no joke. --- Aave, such a big project, is still playing this trap. Ridiculous, everyone. --- Decentralization governance, to put it bluntly, still depends on who has the most say. Laughable. --- Lacking communication and just starting a vote, what's the difference from dictatorship? --- If even the former CTO dares to act this way, ordinary community members have even less chance. --- If the top projects are like this, those small-cap DeFi projects are completely doomed. --- What sounds nice is governance, but in reality, it’s just interest groups dividing the pie. --- This matter needs to be watched closely; let’s see who else has been innocently named. --- Transparency is truly a chronic issue in DeFi, and it cannot be cured at all. --- I just want to know who led this proposal. Is it premeditated?

Names have been put up and there's a hasty vote? This is ridiculous haha --- Decentralization governance has become a joke, Aave, can you really do this? --- Wait, why are there names in the proposal document for no reason? This transparency is too absurd --- If the top protocols are like this, then the small projects must be even more ridiculous... --- I just want to know who decided on such a hasty vote, is this a disrespect to the proposers? --- Seriously, voting without any prior communication, no wonder the community is in an uproar --- If Aave continues like this, it will eventually crash, learn from others' governance processes --- Another centralized decision under the guise of "Decentralization", it's so annoying --- Names are being put up while votes are secretly pushed forward, if it were me, I would also speak out.
