Aave founder accused of suspected governance vote manipulation after purchasing tokens worth tens of millions of dollars

According to TechFlow, on December 24, Cointelegraph reported that Aave founder Stani Kulechov recently sparked community controversy by purchasing $10 million worth of AAVE tokens. Critics pointed out that this move may be aimed at increasing his influence in voting on key governance proposals. The current controversy centers on a proposal regarding the reclamation of control over the protocol's brand assets, which has been accused of being rushed into the voting stage without sufficient discussion. Data shows that the top three voters in the Aave DAO control over 58% of the voting power, raising concerns about the fairness of the governance mechanism.
