Aave Voters Weigh Proposal for Emergency Tools with One-Way Controls

Aave DAO voters are currently deciding on a proposal that would delegate limited V4 risk controls to Risk Stewards, tools that allow approved operators to make constrained changes without going through a full governance vote. The proposal also assigns no-delay emergency roles to the stewards, which cannot be used yet due to lack of corresponding software support.

The Snapshot vote opened on September 3 at 3:46 p.m. UTC and is scheduled to close today, September 6, at the same time. Approval would not activate the system by itself, but rather would require corresponding payloads to be executed through the V4 Security Council.

Aave Labs noted that the code has not been fully audited, although a Certora audit for the Risk Steward contracts is nearing finalization.
