CoinFeed reported on March 4th that Aave founder Stani Kulechov posted on the X platform, reviewing the contributions of Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) founder Marc Zeller to the Aave ecosystem over the past seven years. He stated that Zeller helped shape the incentive program, drive protocol growth, and participate in the evolution of the DAO through ACI. Kulechov stated that the protocol will continue to operate normally, the incentive program will remain unaffected, and Aave Labs will collaborate with other DAO service providers to ensure a smooth transition for the community. Previously, it was reported that ACI, a key Aave service provider, planned to withdraw from DAO governance in July.
