Aave (AAVE), the decentralized cryptocurrency lending protocol, is considering a significant expansion. A new governance proposal suggests launching Aave on Kraken's Layer-2 network, Ink. This move could broaden Aave's reach and accessibility. The proposal outlines building a centralized version of Aave on Ink. This new protocol will be managed by the Ink Foundation. A key aspect of the plan involves a portion of the profits generated reverting to the Aave DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization). This ensures the DAO benefits from the expansion onto Kraken's Ink. The community is currently discussing the potential benefits and drawbacks of this proposal. A launch on Ink could introduce Aave to a new user base and enhance transaction speeds. However, centralizing aspects of the protocol raises questions about decentralization. The Aave community's decision will significantly impact the future direction of the protocol. ```
