PANews reported on December 26 that, according to the Aave Governance Forum, the ARFC proposal to formally transfer Aave brand assets (domain names, social media accounts, naming rights, etc.) to DAO control concluded its voting on December 26 and ultimately failed to pass. The proposal received 994,800 votes against (55.29%), only 63,000 votes in favor, and 41.21% abstained. The proposal aimed to address the current risks of brand assets being controlled by third parties and sought to clarify ownership and use through a DAO legal structure.
