**[ACI Suggests Aave DAO Optimize L2 Operations and Promote Growth Investment Framework Reform]** The Aave governance advocacy organization ACI has released a report indicating that more than half of Aave's deployments across various L2 and L1 networks are economically unviable. Data shows that since early 2025, over 86.6% of Aave's revenue has come from the Ethereum mainnet. ACI recommends shutting down underperforming L2s and will propose related measures. Additionally, ACI suggests reforming the forking framework to prohibit third-party forks like Spark from diluting protocol value and recommends introducing a KPI-linked performance incentive mechanism. To address the narrowing profit margins in the lending business, ACI emphasizes advancing the development of the stablecoin GHO and suggests maintaining weekly AAVE buybacks of $500,000 to $1 million over the next 18 months. It proposes utilizing over $100 million in reserve funds for growth and distribution partnerships while releasing more liquidity through GHO credit lines. ACI plans to submit a growth investment principle framework to the DAO.
