Aave DAO's recent key vote has concluded, and the results can be described as "surprising"—the opposition votes lead by an overwhelming margin, approximately 994,800 votes (55.29%), followed by abstentions with 741,600 votes (41.21%), while the support side only garnered about 63,000 votes, accounting for just 3.5%.

What is behind this vote? Simply put, Aave DAO aims to regain full control over the Aave brand, naming rights, and related assets from the current party. This is significant for the entire DeFi ecosystem—it involves governance rights, the struggle for brand influence, and the DAO's decision-making power.

Looking at the voting proportions, the overwhelming opposition and high abstention rate are worth pondering. Does this mean the community has doubts about the current proposal design? Or is it a matter of weight distribution? Regardless, this vote once again demonstrates the governance vitality of Aave as a top-tier DeFi protocol—the community's voice is loud enough.

55% oppose, 41% abstain. This voting result is truly outrageous; it seems the community simply doesn't buy it.

994,800 opposition votes directly explode, how outrageous does the proposal have to be? Wait, 41% abstention? That's a pretty high number. The Aave community really isn't buying it, with only 3.5% support... hilarious. Brand control is easy to talk about, but there must be a story behind it. Is the high opposition rate indicating that the proposal itself has issues and needs a change in direction? A 41% abstention rate, could it be that people are just waiting to see which way the wind blows? In the DeFi realm, even brand rights are up for grabs, it's quite competitive.

55% oppose, 41% abstain, 3.5% support... This voting result is so ridiculous that I want to laugh. What is Aave doing? Turning brand control into such a mess? It seems the proposal itself might not have convinced people. The high number of abstentions is the real issue, indicating that the community is completely unsure. But on the other hand, the fact that such a "big event" can activate so many voters does show that Aave is still alive. Reminds me of those truly abandoned projects before... everyone has already left. With this level of engagement, Aave DAO is at least still seriously working on it.

99.48K opposition votes directly shut down the proposal, this opposition rate is really ruthless haha --- Turnout rate 41%? That must mean many people have no idea what to vote for --- The issue of brand control ultimately comes down to trust, no wonder the community is so resistant --- 3.5% support rate is really disappointing, the proposers should reflect on this --- The high abstention rate is actually the most heartbreaking, it shows everyone is watching and no one wants to take the blame --- Governance vitality? To me, it looks more like community disagreements lol

55% oppose, 41% abstain, this voting ratio is ridiculous, the community really unanimously dislikes this proposal Obviously there's a problem, the weight distribution definitely needs adjustment, otherwise what’s the point of DAO decision-making Aave's idea to regain control of the brand is good, but this proposal is really poorly written, the community has seen through it So many abstentions, it means everyone hasn't really understood it This is the true nature of governance, even the biggest project community can veto with one vote, it still feels a bit democratic 3.5% support, how embarrassing is that haha
