‘Poison Pill’ Proposal Calls for Aave DAO to Take Over Aave Labs - Unchained
Regulatory scrutiny tied to the Aave ecosystem might have come to an end, but it remains under fire from disgruntled community members.
A large AAVE token holder “tulipking” has introduced an extremely aggressive “poison pill” governance proposal aimed at forcing Aave Labs’ assets and revenue under full control of the Aave DAO.

The proposal asks the DAO to immediately authorize legal action to seize all of Aave Labs’ code, intellectual property, and brand rights, effectively claiming full ownership of the Aave stack for the DAO.
It also seeks 100% of Aave Labs’ equity and all past revenue from Aave‑branded products, with recovered funds to be sent to the DAO treasury.
Tensions escalated after Aave Labs integrated CoW Swap into Aave’s front-end interface and redirected swap fees to an address viewed as being controlled by Labs rather than the DAO treasury.
Aave Labs and founder Stani Kulechov have pushed back on the criticism, arguing that the redirected fees are discretionary interface monetization rather than protocol fees owed to the DAO.
