Secure governance processes often go unnoticed until they are needed the most. How does the Aave DAO approach governance? Let's break it down 👇

The first thing to know about Aave DAO is its phased voting. Anyone can introduce a topic in the governance forum, and the Aave community can signal initial support with a public "temp check" vote. If there's enough support, the Aave community is formally invited to provide feedback on the proposal through the Aave Final Request for Comment (ARFC) vote.

Any proposal which passes the ARFC phase and requires an onchain payload moves to the Aave Improvement Proposal ("AIP") phase. An AIP is the proposal payload which will be submitted onchain and voted on by the community.

An important feature of AIPs is a "timelock delay" (see image) where community guardians can halt a malicious payload if necessary. Most protocol updates have a 1 day timelock delay. Updating core permissions for Aave Governance initiates a 7 day timelock delay.

Beyond the governance process itself, decentralization requires consistent participation from token holders and organizations alike. Aave DAO historically has had some of the most active governance: 661 proposals, 74.2K lifetime participating addresses, and 1.7M votes.

Another key feature of Aave's governance is the Aave Guardians. These community-elected members safeguard the protocol by executing emergency measures if facing an unexpected event like a governance takeover.

<docs.aave.com/governance/master/aave-guardians>

The Governance Emergency Guardian is authorized to veto onchain proposals within a limited timeframe, safeguarding against potential governance takeovers.

Another aspect Aave DAO governance security is that voting can occur on multiple interfaces.

• Aave Labs: app.aave.com/governance

• Boardroom: boardroom.io/aave/proposals

• BGD Labs' Interface: <vote.onaave.com/>

And finally, @bgdlabs, an Aave DAO service provider, created the Seatbelt Report, which meticulously analyzes and decodes governance payloads to ensure that state changes are as intended.

The Aave DAO encourages active discussions so feel free to drop into the governance forum (<governance.aave.com/)>>) with a question or a proposal or even ask Skyward, a free service from @aavechan, for help on your proposal.
