The Aave community has recently taken significant action again. BGD Labs (the core team providing technical and security support for the DAO) has initiated a proposal on the governance forum to transfer Aave's brand assets. Specifically, this includes "soft assets" such as domain names, social media accounts, and naming rights, which will be transferred to a legal entity directly controlled by the DAO.
In simple terms, it means gradually divesting the branding rights originally held by Aave Labs, to be managed collectively by the DAO. This way, if a new legal entity is registered or governance structures are adjusted in the future, they will no longer be constrained by the original team's name.
From the perspective of DAO decentralization, this is indeed a logical step forward, but it also means that the boundary of authority between Aave Labs and the DAO will need to be redefined. Community discussions are expected to be intense.

Wow, this is performing an "ownership transfer operation" for Aave, directly snatching the brand rights from Labs.
When it comes to power transfer, the community will argue for three days and nights.
It's a bit like the final check of the supply chain before a rocket launches, ensuring the ground command can keep the helm steady.
Speaking of which, the ultimate goal of DAO governance is probably like this: gradually eroding the team's influence and then achieving complete decentralization.
Wait, does this mean BGD will still have the power to cause trouble in the future? It feels like the power structure is about to be reshuffled.
In the long run, this move is actually the right one; in the short term, there might be some friction. No one should expect to monopolize the remote control.
It has a bit of that top-tier power game vibe.

Oh no, is this really serious? Is Aave Labs about to be sidelined?
Power transfer sounds nice as decentralization, but honestly it’s just seizing power, interesting.
BGD’s move this time is really ruthless, directly cutting off the source.
But here’s the problem: can the DAO really manage these assets? I’m a bit skeptical.
Feels like it’s going to be a huge fight, get your popcorn ready.
True decentralization still depends on how the voting goes later; that’s the key.
Is Labs really being expelled from the team like this? A bit sad.
What do you all think? Is this move a step forward or shooting ourselves in the foot?

Another power struggle, the folks at BGD really know how to play
Aave Labs probably can't stay calm now, their brand assets are being taken away, it feels a bit shady
The community is about to blow up, decentralization vs actual control, an eternal contradiction
BGD sounds nice, but it's really about seizing power; understanding it from another perspective isn't wrong either
Will there be behind-the-scenes battles in the voting? Things aren't that simple
Aave's story is getting more and more complicated, kind of like a palace intrigue drama
The transfer of brand rights, what's the next step, directly sidelining Labs?
Honestly, can a DAO manage a brand better than Labs? Not necessarily
With so many voices, managing domain names through a DAO might be more prone to issues
This proposal won't pass, Labs will definitely counteract, betting five bucks
Just watch, the forum will probably tear itself apart again, I’ll grab a small stool and watch the show
