Aave Labs proposed the Aave Will Win Framework, a strategic overhaul aiming to align the ecosystem around a token-centric model and scale Aave. The proposal asks the DAO to approve four core elements. The first is directing 100% of revenue from Aave-branded products to the DAO treasury. The second is ratifying Aave V4 as the protocol's primary technical foundation. The third is establishing a formal structure to govern and protect the Aave brand. And the fourth is funding Aave Labs with $25 million in stablecoins and 75,000 AAVE to execute at scale. The proposed initiatives aim to grow the DAO's revenue from the product layer and the protocol layer through Aave V4. The proposal is currently in the Temp Check phase and open for community discussion.
Optimism partnered with Succinct as its preferred zero-knowledge (ZK) proving provider for the OP Stack. Succinct will introduce canonical ZK validity proofs to the OP Stack, beginning with OP Mainnet. Succinct's proving system already secures more than $4 billion in TVL. By replacing the traditional 7-day fraud-proof challenge period used in optimistic rollups, the integration enables near real-time withdrawals, faster finality, and improved capital efficiency. Existing OP Stack chains will be able to seamlessly upgrade to validity proofs as part of Optimism's broader shift toward ZK-native infrastructure.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) launched a new Innovation Advisory Committee (IAC) under the leadership of Michael S. Selig. The group brings together top figures from crypto, traditional finance, and market infrastructure to help the agency update its regulatory framework and stay aligned with fast-moving innovations such as DeFi, blockchain, and artificial intelligence. Among the members are Brian Armstrong of Coinbase, Hayden Adams of Uniswap Labs, and Tyler Winklevoss of Gemini.
