what's Aave Chan Initiative?
Aave Chan Initiative is a community-led effort within the Aave ecosystem, aimed at enhancing governance participation and driving protocol growth. It focuses on decentralizing decision-making through active involvement in Aave Improvement Proposals (AIPs), fostering a vibrant community around the protocol's liquidity markets. The initiative supports Aave's core functionalities, such as non-custodial lending and borrowing with variable or stable interest rates, while promoting features like the GHO stablecoin and integrations with assets like Lido staked ETH. By organizing discussions, votes, and updates, it helps scale total value locked (TVL) and profitability, making Aave more accessible and efficient for users and developers.
