Recently, under the macro environmental policies promoting environmental protection, the DeFi ecosystem is also undergoing in-depth innovation in incentive mechanisms. Aave Labs has just announced an important plan: to share a portion of the revenue generated outside the protocol directly with AAVE token holders. Once this news broke, it sparked heated discussions within the community.

It is reported that the Aave team has committed to submitting a formal governance proposal and will simultaneously promote the design of specific distribution structures, improvement of governance rules, and the establishment of risk control systems. This means that if you hold AAVE tokens, you may receive tangible protocol revenue sharing in the future — not just governance voting rights.

The logic behind this is actually easy to understand. By allowing token holders to share in the dividends of ecosystem growth, Aave Labs aims to establish closer alignment of interests. This approach can not only enhance AAVE’s value capture ability but also attract more users to hold long-term and participate in governance. For the entire decentralized finance sector, exploring this model is also worth paying attention to — could it become the new standard for DeFi protocols?

Currently, mainstream tokens like PEPE, DOGE, XRP, and others are also experiencing their own ecosystem adjustments. Compared to that, how innovative is Aave’s move? What changes do you think a dividend system could bring to the DeFi ecosystem?
